"The Auction At Graceland" To Feature Elvis' "Aloha From Hawaii" Guitar
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) During the Elvis Presley Birthday celebration at Graceland, collectors, fans and pop culture enthusiasts from around the world will raise their paddles to bid in hopes of going home with a piece of Elvis history at the fourth Graceland-Authenticated "The Auction at Graceland," in the Graceland Archives Studio and online at GracelandAuctions.com. A highlight of the auction is the 1969 Custom Gibson Ebony Dove guitar Elvis played at the legendary Aloha From Hawaii concert televised worldwide via satellite in 1973, as well dozens of other concerts from 1971 to 1975, including the documentary concert film Elvis on Tour. The guitar, with an estimate of $300,000 to $500,000, is one of the most culturally-significant and celebrated guitars in music history.

The Auction at Graceland will be held Thursday, January 7 at 8:00 p.m. EST/7:00 p.m. CST in the Graceland Archives Studio, as the kick-off event for the three day Elvis Birthday Celebration. Other highlights among the 126 authenticated artifacts consigned for auction are a 1958 handwritten two-page letter Elvis wrote to his friend Alan Fortas while he was stationed in Germany, estimated between $30,000 - $50,000, the gold-toned microphone & cord used on stage by Elvis at the International Hotel in Las Vegas in 1969, estimated between $10,000 - $15,000 and the reel-to-reel original recording of the Louisiana Hayride show in which the famous phrase "Elvis has left the building" was first uttered by Horace Logan, estimated between $10,000 - 15,000.

Every artifact is authenticated by Graceland Authenticated, LLC. All of the items in the auction will be offered from third-party collectors and none of the items will come from the treasured Graceland Archives. The mansion and all artifacts in the Graceland Archives continue to be owned by Lisa Marie Presley and are not for sale.
