Of course, at the time of writing, the daddy of them all is Kurt Cobain’s Martin D-18E, used on stage for the band’s MTV Unplugged appearance.
Just last year Elvis’s “Sun Sessions” Martin D-18 was sold for $1.32m, but that pales in comparison to John Lennon’s Gibson J-160E which sold for $2.4mm, David Gilmour’s black strat which sold for just shy of $4m. It’s been a bumper few years for auctions of classic guitars. A notarized letter of authenticity from Casey came along with the auctioned instrument, as well as several other notes including a letter from Bones Howe who was the original producer of the famous special, as well as documents from the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, which had been the guitar’s sometimes home.

Frustrated with what he saw as shoddy low budget productions, and concerned that music was moving on without him, Elvis struck a deal with NBC to air “Elvis”, one of the most famous TV concerts of all time. Elvis had spent the intervening years launching his movie career to mixed success.
