At the very beginning of their performing careers Elvis' accompaniment on guitar was a big part of the sound but in most cases on tour they considered themselves lucky if there was a mic for Bill's bass let alone one for Elvis' guitar. Scotty said that about the time that Elvis started to learn to move on stage to elvis leather guitar cover work the audience is when the guitar became more of a prop.

While a shortlist of items is available to browse online, the full list and pictures won't be released until August 1st, when online auction registration and bidding begins. An official print catalog, however, is available, featuring over 70 pages of photos and details about the items up for sale; the book also comes with special replicas of tickets from Presley's 1973 Aloha from Hawaii concert and his 1961 show at Bloch Arena at Pearl Harbor.
