The Martin Guitar Company is offering a special edition guitar like Elvis used for a short time. In early 1955 Elvis would trade his 1942 d-18 Martin in for a 1955 D-28 Martin. Elvis would use this guitar until October of 1956 when he went with a Gibson. Most any picture you see of Elvis with a guitar in 55 or 56 is with the D-28 with the leather cover Elvis had made for it. Martin is offering a limited run of 175 replicas. The D-28 like Elvis has has three different models to choose from ranging from $6,999 to $11,499. The one shown in the picture here is the one you can get for $11,499. This would be an awesome thing for the Elvis fan to have. I can only dream of it though. I don't have the twelve grand to spend on it.
