Scotty Moore Signed Elvis Presley Full-Size Bridgecraft Electric Guitar (JSA COA)

Full-sized blue Bridgecraft electric guitar has been hand-signed on the pick guard in black felt-tip pen by Scotty Moore (D 2016). Please note, signature is bubbled and has been laminated for protection.

Rock critic Dave Marsh credits Moore with the invention of power chording, on the 1957 Presley song "Jailhouse Rock", the intro of which Moore and drummer D.J. Fontana, according to the latter, "copped from a '40s swing version of 'The Anvil Chorus'. Moore was ranked 29th in Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2011. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and the Memphis Music Hall of Fame in 2015. The Rolling Stones' lead guitarist Keith Richards has said of Moore, "When I heard Heartbreak Hotel, I knew what I wanted to do in life. It was as plain as day. All I wanted to do in the world was to be able to play and sound like that. Everyone else wanted to be Elvis, I wanted to be Scotty."

The autograph includes an official James Spence Authentication (JSA) hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.
