Product details:
The B.B. King Lucille is a lovingly crafted tribute to the King of blues. This iconic signature guitar is inspired by various Gibson ES models that B.B King had played over the years - all of which he named Lucille. Constructed with stunning gold hardware, including Grover Rotomatic tuners and TP-6 tailpiece, the golden stylings are tied up with a truss rod cover with B.B King's name engraved upon it. Unlike many semi-hollow guitars, B.B. King personally requested that Lucille not feature any f-holes to help reduce feedback during his performances, allowing him to deliver a clean, undisrupted tone. A six-position Varitone switch guarantees impeccable versatility and expression, essential for the passion and delicacy of B.B. King's classic sound. This freedom is further supported by a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbucking pickups wired directly to CTS potentiometers, and stereo and mono output jacks to really offer any performer complete and meticulous control of their sound. Based on a classic guitar, which has an incredibly unique story, there is certainly a lot of pressure to deliver, and this Lucille delivers in every capacity. With this guitar you'll be compelled to sing duets, telling tales of both the tough times and the best times. This guitar is a superb tribute to a legendary musician.
