There is much debate to this due to a lack of photo evidence. Those who actually saw him either don't recall, did not know about music gear, or won't tell. But you can get his tone with some work. Best approach would be: Study the man's technique, but don't overstudy. The man was just playing and not thinking. As far as gear, hunt down an early 60's Magnatone - should look like a radio. Or as a matter of fact, any old, small tube amp from the 50's or early 60's will do it. Crank it. An old silvertone or supro Electric Guitar will do the trick as well. I use a 61 Supro Belmont, a 64 Silvertone 1413 and a 67 Silvertone 1457 through a 57 Danelectro amp for doing the deep blues. Sounds very close. Hunt down that vintage gear, nothing else today sounds even remotely close. There is also a chance Elmore modded his own gear as he was well versed in radios and electronics.

How do you insert a guitar amp to a guitar with no plug itn the guitar?
If you are referring to "wireless", than you must first buy a wireless receiver that hooks into your amplifier, and your guitar, and transmits a signal from the guitar to the amp... SongScouting: or just buy a pickup microphone. Dean Markley makes one that is a wooden bar that goes across your soundhole, or there is a "button" type that sticks (with putty) to your bridge.

How does a string pickup work for example a viola pickup Is a wireless system necessary or does a wired system exist?
Wired systems do exist, but I've only seen them come along with viola tuners to plug into the tuner to make it easier, but it's a 1/4" plug which is the same as a guitar amp or any amp. So if you get that tuner with the pickup you can pretty much hotwire it to an amp. I've done it
