John Wilkinson's B. C. Rich Natural Solid Body Electric Guitar, Serial #76260.
Wilkinson played with numerous artists, but he's best known for playing in Elvis' electrifying backing band as a rhythm guitarist. Performing with Elvis for years and over 1,000 shows, his locked-in playing was crucial to the live show. And he stayed with the King until his untimely death on August 16, 1977.

This B.C. Rich is all-original and in good condition. Featuring a rose on the face of the guitar that was put on by John. Showing only moderate fret wear and a few dings or blemishes - this guitar was taken care of as it was played often by John onstage with Elvis Presley. Housed in a red flight case with John Wilkinson/ Elvis Presley Show/ Fragile, stenciled on both sides. The battery clip will need to be replaced in the control cavity. 8.8lbs. Original stenciled flight case included. Condition: Very Good.
