General
The instantly recognisable B.B. King Signature edition of Lucille makes a welcome return to the Epiphone line-up. This stunning semi-hollowbody echoes every inch of the King's original - from the removed F-holes to the Varitone switch and TP-6 bridge complete with fine-tuners, for mid-lick pitch-tweaking. Since this is essentially an ES-335 without the soundholes, players are treated to lush, shimmering sound free of any on-stage feedback. The B.B. Kins Signature Lucille comes lovingly tucked up inside a form-fitting EpiLite case.
The Epiphone B.B. King Lucille: Tightened Sound, Deluxe Looks & Pure Tuning
The mounted pair of Alnico Classic Pro pickups deliver a tighter sound than most standard humbuckers, and not only come with a three-way switch, but an extra, six-way Varitone switch to triple the tonal palette. Meanwhile, a familiar acoustic foundation is provided by a spruce top and maple back and sides, a deluxe ebony fretboard, and a C-profile maple neck. Finished with flair, every bit of hardware has been gold-plated, and to ensure rock solid tuning and intonation, you get a Lock-Tone bridge, a set of Grover Rotomatic machine heads, and a Graph Tech nut.
