The description continued: “The letter is dated September 16, 1969, and as you can read, it states that at the time, Nashville producer Scotty Turner was in possession of the guitar. It was one 1 of 6 prototypes, with this first exact guitar going to Elvis (one of the others went to George Harrison, another to Steve Cropper). Elvis used the guitar intermittently over a period of a few months, but ultimately deemed it to be too heavy, and sent it back to Eddie Miller. Just an incredible piece of musical history!! And beyond its incredible story, the guitar itself plays and sounds fantastic! The pots date to 1964. As you can imagine, it’s a very rich and full sounding Tele, with big sustain. The neck plays like butter, with low action down the fretboard. All the photo’d documentation is included, along with the original hard shell case! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.”
