B.B. King Lucille
(Ebony)
A Lovingly Crafted Tribute to a Blues LegendDesigned around the famously named guitars of blues legend B.B. King, the Epiphone B.B. King Lucille was inspired by the multiple Gibson ES™ models he played over the years - all with the name Lucille. Some key features that make this Lucille such an incredible instrument and loving tribute include gold hardware.
Also included are 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 that helps reduce feedback.

Unique Lucille Features
Alnico Classic PRO™ humbucking pickups Different to 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, resulting in a truly sweet sounding guitar.
The electronics are just as impressive, adding more to the great tone you get a six-position Varitone switch, a pair of Alnico Classic PRO™ humbucking pickups wired to CTS® potentiometers, and stereo and mono output jacks for ultimate versatility. An EpiLite™ case is also included.
