1968 Fender Rosewood Tele For Sale
A 1968 Fender Rosewood Tele built for and played by Elvis Presley has been listed for sale on Reverb.
The guitar is a sister six-string to George Harrison's iconic Rosewood Tele – and currently boasts a price tag of US$295,000.
According to the music marketplace, the electric guitar is one of six prototypes, and a sister six-string to the Rosewood Tele beloved by George Harrison, who used his during the Beatles’ iconic 1969 rooftop gig atop the Apple Corps headquarters in London.
The listing states that the King of Rock and Roll used the ‘68 Rosewood Tele “intermittently” for a period of a few months, but at 9lbs and 9oz, Elvis ultimately deemed it too heavy for him, and so sent it back to Eddie Miller, Fender’s Nashville rep at the time.
Currently listed for $295,000, the guitar looks to share the same spec sheet as George Harrison’s Rosewood Tele, with a chambered rosewood body and maple veneer center with a poly finish, rosewood neck and fretboard, two single-coil pickups – the bridge with staggered pole pieces and the neck featuring a chrome-plated cover – and controls pots dating back to 1964.
The guitar also comes with a letter written by Eddie Miller dated September 16, 1969, verifying its provenance, as well as its original hardshell case and additional photo documentation.

Following George Harrison’s championing of the Fender Rosewood Tele, regular production of the guitar commenced in 1969, with a few changes from the prototype models. These alterations included a bolder mid-’60s ‘transition’ logo, instead of a black CBS-era decal, which was trickier to see against dark rosewood.
Elvis Presley has a small spot in volume 60 of the Vintage Rock magazine which features Jerry lee Lewis on the cover. Inside the Elvis article 'Elvis In 1972: At The Peak Of His Onstage Powers'.
Afnil Published the 193-page paperback 'TCB Elvis' by Laura De Simone
Synopsis: Laura De Simone, a passionate Elvis Presley fan, takes you into a colorful and illustrated universe to rediscover the legend of this not-to-be-missed music icon. Each page is a unique rendez-vous, where you will willingly stick around to contemplate Elvis from an original artistic angle.
The author relies on her own experience, drawing from her personal collection which started in her childhood and was then enriched by her travels in the footsteps of Elvis and her encounters with those close to the singer, such as Scotty Moore, D.J. Fontana, John Wilkinson, James Burton, Glen Hardin, Terry Blackwood, J.D. Sumner, Joe Esposito, Richard Davis, Kang Rhee, and many others.
From Tupelo to Memphis, passing through Las Vegas, this biography full of rare and little known anecdotes, sounds like a vibrant tribute to the great Elvis, the one and only king of Rock 'n' Roll, the one we still call the King.
Note: Buyer beware, the book looks like a home-made scarp-book.
