Elvis and his Guitars

After reading what guitars you have I had a look to see what guitars Elvis had.....


Elvis with his J200, Scotty and Bill in "Loving You", Paramount, 1957

In October of 1956 as a result of Scotty's recent endorsement with Gibson, Elvis acquired and began using a new Gibson J-200N guitar, serial number A22937. Sid Lapworth of the O.K. Houck Piano Co. said that they had hoped to present Elvis with it after the store had closed but Elvis was delayed and never made it to the store*. Scotty picked up the guitar and Gibson invoiced it to him because the Colonel wouldn't allow an endorsement for Elvis. It was used in concerts, to record and in the movies "Loving You" and "King Creole. Around December he received a tooled leather cover for it custom made by his friend Charles Underwood.
