Burton organized the TCB Band, serving as its leader, and backed Presley from 1969 until Presley’s death in 1977. A hallmark of Elvis’ live shows during this period was his exhortation, “Play it, James,” as a cue for the guitarist’s solos. For the first season in Vegas in 1969, Burton played his red standard Telecaster. Shortly thereafter, he purchased the now familiar pink paisley custom Telecaster. Burton was not sure that Elvis would like it; however, since Elvis did, Burton used it for every show.
