I’m very excited to tell you about John Wilkinson’s B.C. Rich guitar, which was used at Elvis Presley’s last concert. After the King saw Wilkinson perform on TV, he invited him to be a part of his sizzlin’ TCB backing band. Wilkinson would go on to perform with Elvis as his rhythm guitarist until his death in 1977.
