Premium Tribute to a Legend: The Epiphone IGBBK-EB B.B. King Lucille in Ebony is a premium tribute to B.B. King’s iconic guitars. Its semi-hollow body, crafted from 5-ply maple and poplar, incorporates a solid maple center block to reduce feedback. This design choice reflects B.B. King’s request for less noise interference. The top of the guitar is distinguished by its lack of traditional f-holes, which further enhances its resonance and tonal clarity.

Comfort and Elegance: The guitar’s rounded “C” neck profile, made from maple, ensures a comfortable playing experience. An ebony fretboard with pearloid block inlays adds a touch of elegance. Gold hardware, including Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a brass truss rod cover engraved with B.B. King’s name, and gold pickup covers, complements its sophisticated appearance.

Versatile Tonal Options: Equipped with a TP-6 Stop Bar tailpiece featuring fine tuners and a 6-position Varitone switch, the Lucille offers versatile tonal options. It houses a pair of Alnico Classic PRO™ humbucking pickups wired to CTS® potentiometers, providing a wide range of vintage-inspired sounds. The inclusion of both stereo and mono output jacks maximizes flexibility for various performance setups. Additionally, the guitar comes with an EpiLite™ case, ensuring secure transport and storage.
