BACKSTORY
ELVIS PRESLEY GIBSON DOVE ACOUSTIC GUITAR
Serial number 539461
Built near the end of 1969.
An Elvis Presley Payroll & Expense Fund check, cataloged in the Graceland Archives
and dated September 9, 1971, is made out to Mike Ladd’s Guitar City, signed by Vernon Presley.
The memo field reads “Gibson Dove”.
The well documented story goes that Vernon Presley went into Guitar City, the store across the street from Graceland, wanting to buy a guitar for his son to commemorate his achieving a black belt in Karate. He selected the Gibson; a steel-string flattop acoustic with a solid spruce top, maple back and sides, and three-ply binding; a black pickguard with a white beveled edge, and the adjustable rosewood saddle features mother-of-pearl dove-shaped emblems; and a rosewood fretboard with rolled edges and split-parallelogram inlaid fret markers.
But Vernon Presley wanted more; and requested a list of customizations, including the custom inlaid fretboard, which reads “Elvis Presley,” a custom jet-black finish, done at Guitar City, and a decal from the Kenpo Karate Association of America (which was founded by Ed Parker, Elvis’ bodyguard and Karate instructor). The fretboard inlays were done by guitar craftsman Randy Wood at Gruhn Guitars of Nashville.
