"Lucille" is the name that late blues legend B.B. King lovingly gave to the his Gibson ES guitars. The Lucille Legacy now returns to the Custom Shop lineup as a core Artist model; paying tribute to the king with various high-end appointments and a stunning aesthetic. From its classy Transparent Ebony finish to its gold hardware (including a "B.B. King" engraved truss rod cover), split-block mother of pearl inlays and a bound tortoise pickguard — this elegant instrument is instantly recognisable.
There are plenty of unique custom features that set it apart from a stock ES-335 semi-hollow model too, in keeping with B.B. King’s personal preferences. This includes a TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners, a semi-hollow body without f-holes (in order to reduce feedback) and a six-position 'Varitone' switch. It's a very special guitar that’s fit for blues royalty!
