The Memphiz Kat
One of the most iconic names in the World of Music, was of course, that Cool Cat from Memphis by the name of "Elvis Presley". One of the most iconic riffs ever played that still inspires people today was that of the classic song "Mystery Train". Some of those songs played by Elvis's Guitarist ,Scotty Moore were what changed the Rockin World. Those Early Sun Studio Sessions sound as good now as they did then.

The Memphis Kat, is an arch topped guitar that has been the result of the inspiration of Two of Scotty Moore's Guitars, his 1952 ES-295 and his 1954 L5 Gibsons.
What started as a project to use the Staples Pickups used in the L5 has become a whole lot Moore. I knew the length and width of the early Gibsons, but the rest was done by looking on the net then drawing my version free hand to simulate the original. I had every intention to get as close to the colour as I could, and thanks to ND Refinishers here in Adelaide, it is very close.
The Two Seymour Duncan Staple pickups were made exactly to sound like the authentic thing, but then I discovered the 1953 Strat Antiquity Single Coil, Made exactly to look like an aged pickup and signed personally by Seymour Duncan.
