EPE added a press-release on a new Elvis themed Fender Guitar the "Elvis Kingman" acoustic guitar.


From the press-release:
You can own a guitar just like the one Elvis played in the ’67 movie “Clambake.”  Fender® Acoustics proudly presents the Elvis® Kingman™ acoustic guitar— featuring Fender’s famous mid-’60s “Wildwood” finish with elegantly striking color and detail. 


Highly distinctive features include Presley’s signature on the front of the Wildwood-style headstock, solid spruce top with scalloped X-bracing for full and resonant tone, laminated Wildwood-style back and sides, Ivoroid neck and body binding, stylish dual checkerboard rosette, maple neck, 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with block position inlays and bone nut, Fender “Viking” rosewood bridge with cream-colored pins and compensated bone saddle, chrome hardware and gloss neck and body finish. For more information and details about the Elvis Kingman acoustic guitar, go to Fender.com.
