Does anybody know what guitars were used in that record?
Does anybody know what guitars were used in that record?
Which one? Elvis? or Elvis Presley?
In either case, Elvis stuck with acoustic guitar - Usually Martin D-28, with or without a leather cover.
Scotty had the all gold ES 295, though I think he had traded that one for an L-5 by then.
He also used an amp with built-in delay.
I read Scotty's autobiography last winter - my brother-in-law is a big Elvis fan and lent it to me. It was really interesting how he described coming up with E, though I didn't realize just how badly the Colonel screwed him, Bill Black and DJ Fontana. Elvis originally wanted everything split the 4 ways, but Parker changed it up that it was Elvis, and a few hired guns. Of course, Parker ended up with more money than Elvis, even, the freakin' crook.

I meant Elvis.
I’ll look up that bio!
