In July 1955, Scotty traded this guitar for a blonde-finish 1954 Gibson L-5 CESN, with which he recorded the last Sun sessions (including "Mystery Train"), as well as several RCA cuts,<ref name="auto"/> and in 1957 he switched to a [[Gibson Super 400]].<ref name="hunter">{{cite book |last=Hunter|first=Dave|title=Guitar Rigs: Classic Guitar and Amp Combinations |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=p1-kULtG9tgC&pg=PA50 |year=2005 |publisher=[[Hal Leonard Corporation|Hal Leonard]] |isbn=978-0-87930-851-3|pages=40, 54}}</ref> This Super 400 was the guitar heard on the ''Jailhouse Rock'' and ''King Creole'' soundtracks, as well as the earlier post-army sessions.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Gibson Guitar Greats: Scotty Moore|url=http://legacy.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Features/en-us/Gibson-Guitar-Greats-Scotty-Moore.aspx|website=Legacy.gibson.com}}</ref>

One of the key pieces of equipment in Moore's sound on many of the recordings with Presley, besides his guitars, was the [[Ray Butts EchoSonic]], first used by Chet Atkins, a guitar amplifier with a [[tape echo]] built in, which allowed him to take his trademark [[Delay (audio effect)|slapback echo]] on the road.<ref name="hunter" /><ref name"=2008_Gibson_article">{{cite web |last1=Hunter |first1=Dave |title=Get That Tone: Scotty Moore with Elvis Presley |url=https://www.gibson.com/news-lifestyle/features/en-us/getthattonescottymoorewi.aspx |website=Gibson.com |publisher=Gibson |access-date=January 19, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223212128/https://www.gibson.com/news-lifestyle/features/en-us/getthattonescottymoorewi.aspx |archive-date=December 23, 2017 |date=May 9, 2008}}</ref> It is important to note, however, that this amplifier was not used until 1955--which means that the earlier Sun sessions (including ''That's All Right Mama'') were not recorded with this amplifier.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Scotty Moore 54 L5 CES|url=http://www.scottymoore.net/54L5CES.html|access-date=2021-05-09|website=scottymoore.net}}</ref>
