Based on the famously named guitars of blues legend B.B. King,
the Epiphone B.B. King Lucille was inspired by the various Gibson
ES™ models he played over the years - all of which were named
Lucille. Standout features that make this Lucille such a stunning
guitar and loving tribute include gold hardware, Grover®
Rotomatic® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, ebony fretboard with
pearloid block inlays, a brass truss rod cover with B.B. King’s
name engraved on it, mother of pearl Lucille inlay on the
headstock face, multi-ply binding on the body and headstock, a
TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners, and a semi-hollow body with a
maple center block to reduce feedback. Unlike most
semi-hollowbody guitars, the B.B. King Lucille’s top doesn’t have
any f-holes; B.B. himself requested this feature to help further
reduce the possibility of feedback. The electronics are equally
impressive, with a six-position Varitone switch, a pair of Alnico
Classic PRO™ humbucking pickups wired to CTS® potentiometers, and
stereo and mono output jacks for maximum flexibility. An EpiLite™
case is also included.
