Epiphone

“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.” – From the Epiphone Website

This particular Epiphone dates from 2015 and is a real treat to explore.  The Rounded “C” neck carve and ebony fingerboard make it a fast player, and the Varitone switch along with the 3 way pickup selector combine to give you all the tonal variation you could possibly want. That it is semi hollow without F holes helps with feedback suppression, allowing even high gain signals to not err in to feedback.  This would be a natural choice for players of a wide range of styles, and a reliable and trusty companion for years to come.

Cosmetic Condition:

As anyone who has owned a gloss black guitar can attest, that finish keeps no secrets.  This guitar is no exception to that rule.  With that in mind the only cosmetic blemish of note is a very slight scuffing throughout the instrument consistent with normal playwear.  As such, we would consider this guitars condition to be EXCELLENTT+.
