Epiphone BB King Lucille with case

The Epiphone B.B. King Lucille is a cherished tribute to the blues legend B.B. King and his iconic guitars, "Lucille." This semi-hollowbody electric guitar is based on the various Gibson ES models King played throughout his career, famously lacking f-holes to reduce feedback. It comes with a case, typically an EpiLite case, which is a lightweight but sturdy softshell type of case.

Key Features:

• Body: It features an ES-style, ES-335 shape, with a 5-ply Maple/Poplar laminated body and spruce bracing with a maple center block. The body top has no f-holes, a specific request from B.B. King to help reduce feedback, which is a signature characteristic of this model. The body has multi-ply binding.
• Neck: The neck is made of Maple with a comfortable Rounded "C" profile. It has a 24.75" scale length, a 12" fingerboard radius, and 22 medium jumbo frets.
• Fingerboard: The fingerboard is made of Ebony and features pearloid block inlays. The nut is Graph Tech, providing enhanced tuning stability and sustain.
• Pickups: The guitar is equipped with a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbucking pickups, known for delivering a warm, rich, and versatile tone suitable for blues, jazz, and rock.
• Electronics: Beyond the standard 2 Volume and 2 Tone controls (wired to CTS potentiometers), a standout feature is the 6-position Varitone switch. This rotary switch allows for a wide range of tonal variations by engaging different filters. It also features both mono and stereo output jacks, offering flexibility for routing the signal. A 3-way Epiphone toggle switch controls pickup selection.
• Hardware: All hardware is gold-plated, contributing to its luxurious and classic appearance. It includes an Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and a TP-6 Stop Bar tailpiece with fine tuners, allowing for precise intonation and tuning adjustments. Grover Rotomatic tuners with Keystone buttons ensure reliable tuning stability.
• Aesthetics and Details: The headstock features a mother-of-pearl "Lucille" inlay, and a brass truss rod cover is engraved with B.B. King's name, adding to its tribute status. It has a 5-ply ES-335 style bound tortoiseshell pickguard.
• Case: An EpiLite case is included, providing protection for the instrument during transport.

The Epiphone B.B. King Lucille is a meticulously crafted instrument that embodies the spirit and sound of B.B. King's iconic guitar, offering a unique set of features for expressive blues and rock playing.
