SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A federal judge has allowed a South Dakota museum to begin to print ads in a Tennessee newspaper in hopes of finding the donor of a guitar played by Elvis Presley that’s now the subject of a custody battle.

Robert A. Johnson has yet to answer a lawsuit filed in July in Sioux Falls by the National Music Museum to settle whether he had the legal right to donate the guitar.

U.S. District Judge Karen Schreier allowed the publication of the ads in the Memphis Daily News at the museum’s request. The ads will be notifying Johnson of his obligation to answer the lawsuit.

Johnson’s last known address is in Memphis, Tennessee. But in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this month he said he was in Washington state.
