zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Block inlays and a distinctive rosette make the Elvis Presley Kingman a vintage style acoustic-electric with a flair all its own.
Overview
Fender hails the King of Rock 'n' Roll and transports you back to 1967 with the introduction of the Elvis Kingman acoustic guitar-a sharp looking, rich-sounding, hip-swaying evocation of the freewheeling Fender acoustic that Elvis Presley wielded with consummate cool in the '67 cinematic romp Clambake.
In addition to honoring the King, the Elvis Kingman dreadnought also recreates Fenders famous mid-'60s Wildwood finish, in which living beech trees that provided the backs and sides of the unusual instruments were dyed in several elegantly striking colors before being harvested.
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.
