Elvis Instruments On eBay

Put up for auction on eBay is a guitar supposedly played on by Elvis and owned by Hawaiian actor Jack Lord. Besides the Elvis guitar fans can place a bid on an Elvis ukelele too. The wooden instrument was a gift to Elvis from the staff of the Coco Palms Hotel in Hawaii, in the early sixties. Elvis donated the ukelele shortly before his death to talk show host Joe Franklin. The instrument, with a starting bid of 1.000 dollar, is to be sold on March 30th in South Corona, California. Another item of interest is a casual sweater that Elvis gave to long time collector David Kupp. More info: www.urauctions.com. Oddly enough, eBay features another Elvis guitar, also from the Jack Lord collection.

 

Elvis was a friend of Jack and Marie Lord and visited them on at least one occasion. In that time they spent together Elvis played this Spanish style Ramirez guitar – at least, according to the item description on eBay. Last year, a stage belt Elvis gave Jack Lord, sold on eBay for 66.000 $US.

how can they prove he played it to value it at that price

Take a look at this one. Looks like another Elvis guitar is up for auction, but I have to agree with the comments. If she truly wanted to share this with Elvis fans, she could have donated it to Graceland for exhibit, but I guess, as usual, it comes down to money. <_<

Elvis movie guitar sold: It's the dream of every fan: a guitar, used by Elvis. On april 14th, such a collectiors item was auctioned. Off all the guitars that where auctioned in the last months, this is be the must reliable item. Elvis used this guitar in 1962 in both 'Follow That Dream' and 'Kid Galahad'. After the recording of 'Kid Galahad' he donated the guitar to prop master Ralph Agnone. The guitar was treasured in the family and Ralph's son received the guitar when he passed away. When Agone jr died at a young age, his widow donated the guitar to the 'Warner Bros Movie Museum'. This year, she changed her mind and asked for the guitar back to 'provide it to the fans'. The auction hammer knocked off at $68.000 (€ 51.000)
