Scotty Moore's Gibson ES-295 Gold Top

Now this guitar right here... this is the guitar that changed the world. Scotty Moore played this very guitar on the first four Sun Records recordings with Elvis Presley in 1954 and 1955 — 'That's All Right,' 'Blue Moon of Kentucky,' 'Good Rockin' Tonight,' and 'I Don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine.' When Sam Phillips hit the record button on that summer afternoon in Memphis, this gold-top guitar rang out with a sound nobody had ever heard before. I've held a lot of guitars in my life, but I get goosebumps every single time I pick this one up. Scotty Moore was only twenty-two years old, and he invented an entire musical language on these strings. This isn't just a guitar — this is the instrument that lit the fuse on rock and roll. I acquired this directly from Scotty's estate, and I consider it the crown jewel of our entire collection.
