Epiphone | B.B. King "Lucille" ES-335

The Bluesman's First Lady Is Back!

B.B. played many guitars in his lifetime, but he gave them all one name: Lucille. Epiphone remembers this singular monicker with the new Epiphone B.B. King "Lucille," an ES-335 inspired by King's originals, finished in Ebony. 

As the story goes, King was playing a dancehall in Twist, Arkansas, when two men began to fight, tipping over a flaming barrel of kerosene providing the building's heat. The floor caught fire and King fled, leaving behind his beloved Gibson. King ran back in to save it. He later learned that the two men were fighting over a woman. Her name was Lucille.

Epiphone B.B. King "Lucille" Ebony

$1,350.00
Based on the famously named guitars of blues legend B.B. King, the Epiphone B.B. King Lucille was inspired by the various Gibson ES models he played over the years - all of which were named Lucille. Standout features that make this Lucille such a stunning guitar and loving tribute include gold hardware, Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech nut, ebony fretboard with pearloid block inlays, a brass truss rod cover with B.B. King’s name engraved on it, mother of pearl Lucille inlay on the headstock face, multi-ply binding on the body and headstock, a TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners, and a semi-hollow body with a maple center block to reduce feedback. Unlike most semi-hollowbody guitars, the B.B. King Lucille’s top doesn’t have any f-holes; B.B. himself requested this feature to help further reduce the possibility of feedback. The electronics are equally impressive, with a six-position Varitone switch, a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbucking pickups wired to CTS potentiometers, and stereo and mono output jacks for maximum flexibility. An EpiLite case is also included.
