What did Elvis Presley ask for on his 11th birthday? (and did not get it) and what did he get instead? and did not use for several months? and how much did it cost to buy? and is coming up on auction soon.

He wanted a .22 caliber riffle, that would have cost his mother $28.Instead she decided to buy him a guitar that cost her $12.50.

That guitar is coming up for auction this weekend (12th-13th Oct '02) at Guernseys, New York and is expected to make $7 million dollars!! easily
