Gibson Custom Shop B.B. King Lucille Legacy Figured Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Dark Walnut, Heavy Aged

Looking for something a bit special to shake up your guitar world? Feast your eyes on this absolute stunner: the limited‑edition Gibson Custom B.B. King Lucille Legacy from Gibson’s Greatest Hits Collection. It takes one of the most legendary blues guitars ever made and gives it a bold, off‑the‑wall twist that only Gibson could pull off.

Vintage vibe, modern swagger

This beauty is based on B.B.’s own custom‑spec ES‑355, but with a few rebellious choices — starting with that glorious 3‑ply figured body without F‑holes, all wrapped up in a lush Dark Walnut finish that’s anything but traditional.

Under the hood, you’ve got a pair of Custombuckers delivering proper old‑school PAF goodness, wired up with CTS audio‑taper pots and those iconic paper‑in‑oil Bumblebee caps for vintage tone with attitude.

Plays like a dream, looks like royalty

Playability? Oh, it’s smooth. The SlimTaper neck and Ebony ’board make bends, vibrato and fast picking feel completely effortless — just the way Lucille herself would demand. And of course, Gibson didn’t hold back on the visual flair: think split block MOP inlays, classy multi‑ply binding, a gold “B.B. King” truss rod cover and a nickel TP‑6 tailpiece with fine tuners for dialling in your setup to perfection.

• 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple semi-hollow body: A beautifully resonant build that dishes out that classic airy chime and punchy midrange we all know and love. It’s the same recipe behind countless iconic tones — and yes, this thing genuinely sings even before you plug it in.
• Ebony Fingerboard: Super smooth, wonderfully classy and built for effortless playability. With a comfy 12" radius and 22 frets, it’s the perfect stage for silky bends, fast runs and everything in between.
• Custombucker pickups: Gibson’s finest PAF‑style pickups, serving up vintage mojo in buckets. Warm, articulate and incredibly dynamic — from sweet, glassy cleans to that glorious edge‑of‑breakup snarl, they’ve got the whole blues‑rock spectrum covered.
• Mono Varitone circuit: Think of it as a tone‑shaping jukebox built right into your guitar. Flip through an entire universe of sounds, from thick, smoky jazz vibes to cutting, mid‑scooped clarity.
• ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge: The rock‑solid classic. Expect stable tuning, precise intonation and all the reliability you need, whether you're bending like a maniac or digging in on those big chords.
• TP-6 tailpiece: Complete with fine tuners, so you can dial in your pitch with laser accuracy. Perfect for perfectionists, pros or anyone who just loves being spot‑on.
• Included hardshell case: A premium case that’s built to take a beating so your guitar doesn’t have to. Whether you're gigging, travelling or just storing your pride and joy at home, it’ll stay safe, secure and looking its best.
