B. B. King is blues royalty. Can we agree on that? The man was playing the blues before most of us knew what a guitar was. For many of his early years, the man played an ES-335 before moving on to a Gibson ES-355. Said King in The Electric Guitar - An Illustrated Guide, "I knew I liked the 335 from the first time I played one...the neck was so thin and the body was so shallow so it was comfy to play." Eventually, King named his favorite guitar, Lucille. And eventually, the man hooked up with Gibson to make the B. B. King Signature Edition, not surprisingly named "Lucille." Special touches include a fine tuner tailpiece, a semi-hollowbody design with no f-holes, multi-ply binding and Varitone circuitry. Hey, if you"ve ever heard this man play live, you know just how sweet or saucy he can make his guitar sing. The Gibson Lucille model is just like B. B."s!
