Austin Butler became the chosen one to be trusted to play Elvis Presley's guitar

Elvis Presley's family favored Austin Butler and his acting talent. After Presley's loved ones saw the movie Elvis, they met with the actor in Graceland, Tennessee this past weekend.

There, the King's family honored Austin in a way few people ever do. They let the actor borrow a guitar that belonged to Elvis and even play it, TooFab says.

"One of many sweet things that happened while we were there - Austin played my grandfather's guitar in the house. This guitar hasn't been played by many people. I know it was tuned by @paulmccartney once, but as far as people sitting down and playing it @austinbutler is one of very few people aside from my grandfather," Elvis Keough's granddaughter said.
