EPIPHONE IGBBKEBGH DETAILS

Based on the famously named guitars of blues legend B.B. King, the Epiphone IGBBKEBGH B.B. King Lucille Semi-Hollow Body guitar 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.

Features:

  • Semi-hollowbody based on the classic axe B.B. King dubbed "Lucille" and played for decades
  • 5-ply layered maple body and top for punchy, full tone
  • Maple neck with ebony fingerboard delivers incredibly smooth response and wonderful playability
  • LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge provides wonderful sustain and tuning support
  • 2 Alnico Classic Pro pickups deliver warm, vintage humbucker tone that translates beautifully to blues, jazz, and even rock
  • 2 volume, 2 tone controls, and a 6-position Varitone switch let you explore a massive array of sonic options
  • Varitone switch lets you filter and scoop your mids with each position switch, as well as dial in really cool throwback tones
  • Gold hardware from headstock to bridge
  • Brass truss rod cover with B.B. King's name engraved on it
  • Mother-of-pearl Lucille inlay on the headstock face
  • Gold Grover Rotomatic tuners with keystone buttons provide rock-solid tuning and classic visual vibe
