Gibson B.B. King Lucille Legacy Transparent Ebony Electric Guitar

Gibson B.B. King Lucille Legacy Transparent Ebony

B.B. King will forever be the undisputed King of the Blues, and the Gibson Custom B.B. King Lucille Legacy is a testament to his everlasting impact on the genre. This semi-hollow body electric guitar is a meticulous re-creation of B.B.'s famous custom-spec'd ES-355. It all starts with a 3-ply figured body — sans F-holes — with a head-turning transparent nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The Lucille Legacy's CustomBucker pickups deliver true-to-life vintage PAF tone, and its hardwired harness vaunts CTS audio-taper pots and paper-in-oil Bumblebee caps. The Lucille Legacy's comfortable SlimTaper neck profile and 22-fret ebony fingerboard facilitate fluid string bending, shimmering vibrato, and effortless staccato picking. Visually speaking, the Lucille Legacy features attention-grabbing gold hardware, including a gold "B.B. King" engraved truss rod cover and a TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners. You also get split block mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays and stunning multi-ply binding throughout. If your current semi-hollowbody electric leaves you feeling blue — or if the proverbial thrill is indeed gone — take a ride with the B.B. King Lucille Legacy.
