Gibson B.B. King Lucille Electric Guitar

B.B. King's trademark guitar has been a Gibson ES-355 since the '60s.  bbRightfully named after the artist's beloved guitar, the Gibson B.B. King Lucille Electric Guitar is a custom-built ES-355 model created in collaboration with the true "King of Blues".  Playing Gibsons for over forty years, B.B. King has  influenced generations of musicians.  The Blues legend's very own personal touches have been added to this Lucille signature model of his.  In fact, this guitar is made with the same specification as the guitar that the legend himself plays.  This guitar offers a very warm, very smooth and a very sweet sound.   It will give you endless possibilities with its versatility.  B.B. King's personal touches include the fine-tuner tailpiece, a body with no F holes, and the obvious name that has graced all of B.B. King's guitars.  Features include plain laminated maple top for complete  sustain, solid maple center block, laminated maple back and rims with multi-ply binding on the top and back, 3-piece maple neck with classic Gibson rounded profile, 22-fret ebony fingerboard with real pearl inlays, gold hardware, metal tulip tuners, Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, TP-6 tailpiece for precise tuning, 490R and 490T humbucking pickups, two volume,  two tone knobs, 3-way selector switch, Vari-tone switch, stereo jacks, mono jacks, and B.B. King strings.

B.B. King himself boasts that "Lucille don't want to play nothing but the blues", but the truth is, she can handle much more.  Available in either a gorgeous ebony or cherry finish, the Gibson B.B. King Lucille Electric Guitar is everything  you'd expect from a guitar endorsed by the "King of Blues" himself.  MSRP is around $4500.
