  I still want to know the story behind that 6-string bass/guitar double neck.

  Throwing guitars could be an Olympic event inspired by Elvis.

  Great stuff as always. I went to see the Elvis movie "That's The Way It Is" in 1971 and there's a part where he's goofing around with his "guys" during rehearsal.  I swear Elvis literally drops his J200 to the ground amid huge laughter from the band.

  I’ve seen that double neck in real life and it’s so dingy looking but at the same time it’s the most badass thing I’ve seen to this day

  What a jerk the Colonel was for not letting Elvis be endorsed with Gibson and making Scotty Moore use his name for Elvis. I bet the Colonel&apos;s only reason for saying no to the Gibson endorsement was Elvis only got a free guitar for himself and no money for the endorsement. So the Colonel wasn&apos;t getting anything out of the deal.

  Elvis was quite hard on his gear, it seems. Scotty got involved in all sorts of business for Elvis, too - some of it while he was the band&apos;s manager, but some after the noxious &quot;Colonel&quot; got involved.<br>As always, a meticulously researched and very well presented video. Thanks, Ramon.

  Well documented story: considerable data compiled ! I like the &quot;What if he had gotten the rifle&quot; at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoK2lojFR44&amp;t=150">2:30</a> :)) We would probably have had another Capone instead of Elvis ?? These leather covers are awkward... possibly muffled the guitar&apos;s resonance... Nice story about throwing the Ebony J-200 and given to Heather and all the subsequent ones; funny to see how Elvis gave guitars away like rock groups throw picks at the audience nowadays. &nbsp;Looks like the circle was closed with the D-28: back to the roots ! What a guy he was... Nice memories ! Thanks for uploading Ramon :)
