Epiphone B.B. King Lucille

Inspired by the Gibson ES™ models played by blues legend B.B. King, the Epiphone B.B. King Lucille features gold hardware, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, ebony fretboard with pearloid block inlays, and a brass truss rod cover engraved with B.B. King’s name.  The semi-hollow body with a maple center block reduces feedback, and unlike most semi-hollowbody guitars, the top doesn't have f-holes, a feature requested by B.B. King himself.  Additional features include mother of pearl Lucille inlay on the headstock face, multi-ply binding on the body and headstock, a TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners, a six-position Varitone switch, a pair of Alnico Classic PRO™ humbucking pickups wired to CTS® potentiometers, and stereo and mono output jacks. An EpiLite™ case is included.
