An honor few have ever been bestowed, the Presley Family allowed Austin Butler to play the strings of Elvis Presley's famed guitar.

Riley Keough took to Instagram to share a few photos of the intimate experience when the 30-year-old "Elvis" actor visited Graceland in Tennessee over the weekend.

Keough described the weekend as "such a special and overwhelming experience I haven't quite processed."

One of many sweet things that happened while we were there- Austin played my grandfather’s guitar in the house," she continued.

The Presley family have raved about Butler's performance as the late King in Baz Luhrman's new biopic.

Back in May, Lisa Marie Presley gave the movie her stamp of approval and grieved the loss of her son Benjamin Keough who she regrets wasn't able to see the film after his passing.

She said that while she mostly devotes her time to her other children at this point, she did take the time to see Lurhmann's film "twice now," calling it "nothing short of spectacular" and "absolutely exquisite."

She even said she felt the performance was Oscar-worthy, saying if he didn't score the actual trophy, "I will eat my own foot, haha."
