code GI933

B.B. King is one of the most famous blues guitarists of all time. And his guitar bears one of the most unusual names in the world of guitars: Lucille. In reality, King has had a number of guitars over the years, and he has referred to them all as Lucille. Gibson didn't assign his original Lucille that name, of course; he just began calling "her" Lucille.King has preferred to play Gibsons for decades. In 1982, the long, informal association of B.B. King with Gibson finally resulted in a formal relationship. As a result, Gibson introduced the Lucille model. The Lucille model is actually a variation of the famous Gibson ES-335. The semi-hollow body and the neck are laminated maple, and the fingerboard is ebony. The guitar comes with two humbucking pickups and numerous tone, volume, and other controls. One of Lucille's more unusual characteristics (for a semi-hollow body guitar) is the lack of soundholes.
