Epiphone

collapse expand iconDescription

The Epiphone B.B. King Lucille limited-edition semi-hollow electric guitar is inspired by the various Gibson ES models that King played over the years, all of which were named Lucille. Standout features that make this model such a stunning instrument and loving tribute include Grover Rotomatic tuners, gold hardware, Graph Tech nut, ebony fingerboard with pearloid block inlays, a brass truss rod cover with B.B. King’s name engraved on it and a mother-of-pearl Lucille inlay on the headstock face. Its sound is powered by a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers wired to CTS potentiometers, plus a six-position Varitone switch and stereo and mono output jacks for maximum flexibility. Additional appointments include multi-ply binding on the body and headstock, a TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners, and a semi-hollowbody design 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; King himself requested this feature to help further reduce the possibility of feedback. It comes with an EpiLite case.
