Epiphone BB King Lucille
*New Release*
When it comes to signature guitars, there are few that hold such an important place in history as Lucille, the long standing partner in crime for the legendary B.B King. Back in '49, King was playing a dance hall in Arkansas when a fist fight resulted in a kerosene burner being knocked over, flames engulfed the hall and everybody was evacuated. Realising he had left his beloved Gibson inside, King braved the flames to rescue his guitar. Later, after discovering the fight had been over a woman named Lucille, he vowed to name all his guitars after her.

When it comes to signature guitars, there are few that hold such an important place in history as Lucille, the long standing partner in crime for the legendary B.B King. Back in '49, King was playing a dance hall in Arkansas when a fist fight resulted in a kerosene burner being knocked over, flames engulfed the hall and everybody was evacuated. Realising he had left his beloved Gibson inside, King braved the flames to rescue his guitar. Later, after discovering the fight had been over a woman named Lucille, he vowed to name all his guitars after her.
Inspired by the original Lucille, Epiphone have crafted a superb blues guitar that really captures the essence of Kings famous sound.
With a Maple top and body, Lucille is constructed without F holes, King found that to get his preferred sound he would often be on the verge of feeding back and asked Gibson to build him a model without F holes. It is beautifully finished in Kings iconic Black gloss with gold hardware.
The Maple neck features a rounded C for a slim and comfortable playing experience. The Ebony fingerboard is dark and rich in colour whilst decorated beautifully with pearloid block inlays. A 24.75 scale length, 12 radius, 22 medium jumbo frets and 1.693 nut width complete the playing experience.
Loaded with a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO Humbuckers, Lucille has a huge range of tonal options and with a 6-way rotary in addition to a 3 way toggle switch you get 18 unique tones. The Alnico Classics are super responsive and deliver stunning note definition, while the TP-6 fine tuning bridge allows for perfect intonation during all those delicious King style bends.
An Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Grover Rotomatic tuners deliver incredible stability and control. The Epiphone B.B King Lucille is a fitting tribute to the original King of blues.
