Gibson Custom BB King Lucille Legacy, Transparent Ebony Key Features

  • A Tribute To The King - Finally, the BB King Lucille Legacy has returned to the Custom Shop ES Lineup as a core Artist model, and we couldn't be happier.
  • Premium-Grade Construction - A semi-hollow body created from 3-ply Figured Maple/Poplar/Maple, along with a Maple centreblock, and an absence of F-Holes , in keeping with BB King's personal preferences.
  • Classic BB King Tones - A pair of Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups offer PAF-like tonal qualities to the guitar, giving you a wide range of bluesy tones to make use of. In addition to this, the guitar sports a mono Varitone switch which takes preset slives out of the guitar's midrange, alongside independent Volume and Tone controls and a 3-way selector switch.
  • High-Quality Hardware - Bringing the whole thing together is a host of top-notch hardware, including a TP-6 tailpiece with Fine Tuners and Grover Tulip tuning machines for excellent levels of tuning stability. In addition to this there's a "B.B. King" engraved truss rod cover, a "Lucille" moth of pearl inlay on the headstock, and split block mother of pearl inlays on the fingerboard.
  • Hardshell Case Included - To keep the guitar safe when not in use, and when you travel to and from your performances, Gibson have included a Custom Shop hardshell case. This case is designed to keep the guitar safe from even the harshest of knocks.
