Got a few million bucks to spend?
Well, if you do, you may want to bid on Elvis Presley's guitar he used during his recording sessions at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.
According to the The Commercial Appeal:
One of the most significant instruments in the history of rock and roll — or in the history of recorded music, for that matter — could be yours, if you're a millionaire.
The instrument is the so-called "Sun Sessions" guitar, the 1942 Martin D-18 acoustic guitar that Elvis Presley owned between 1954 and 1956.
The starting bid is $1.2 million, and auction house Gotta Have Rock and Roll estimates the guitar will sell for $2 million-$3 million. In the mid-1950s, a new guitar of this type would have cost about $140.
"Elvis used this actual guitar extensively while recording at the iconic Sun Studios in Memphis, TN and while performing on stage during this period," according to the description of the guitar at GottaHaveRockandRoll.com.
