An electric guitar that Elvis Presley once used to prepare for one of his specials is among a host of the King's personal items set to go up for auction in honor of Graceland's Elvis Presley Week.
Those personal possessions include Presley's birth record, a black and gold outfit he performed in, an Indian ring and a TCB necklace.
The guitar, which was originally used during rehearsals for his 1968 Elvis Special, was given by Presley to Nancy Rooks and features a cherry sunburst finish with mother-of-pearl inlays in the fretboard.
It also includes a modern Gibson hard-shell black case.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the guitar has an estimated value of $30,000 with bids reportedly starting at $10,000.
The auction is set to begin on August 13.
