Notes

No direct sources specify the exact guitar or amp used for the studio recording of 'Hound Dog' by Shonka Dukureh. The song is a modern recreation of a 1950s blues/rockabilly classic, likely recorded in a studio in 2021-2022 for the 'Elvis' movie soundtrack. Gear selection is inferred from genre, era, and audible tone. No evidence of pedals or modern high-gain amps. Studio context.
