Here for sale we have an Epiphone B.B King Lucille semi-hollow body electric guitar in Ebony finish. Crafted in China in 2008, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Laminated Maple body with centre block, 5-piece Maple neck and 22 Medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with Gold hardware including Tune-O-Matic bridge, TP-6 fine tuning tailpiece and Grover Rotomatic tuning machines. The pickups fitted are a pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic humbuckers, these are wired to a 3-way selector, bridge volume, bridge tone, neck volume, neck tone, 6-position Varitone switch and a Mono/Stereo Input.

 

The Gloss finish neck plays very well, with the ‘C’ profile sitting comfortably in the hand and providing a smooth and responsive playing experience in all registers. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 12” radius and Medium Jumbo frets offering a perfect balance between easy chord playing, practicality for lead lines and string bending techniques. The semi-hollow construction gives the guitar a nice open and resonant feel, while keeping unwanted feedback at bay.

 

The semi-hollow body delivers unique acoustic features. It achieves a delicate balance between body resonance and resistance to feedback, this results in an organic vocal quality that is tactile and responsive to the player's touch. The pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic humbucking pickups sound thick and chunky with rich lows, tight, punchy mids and crisp, clear highs. The round and thick tone of the neck position is well complemented by the hotter, brighter bridge pickup which provides all of the bite needed for hard rock lead lines. The 6-way Varitone switch acts as a notch filter to suppress certain frequencies, and offers 6 unique voices which are almost infinitely variable thanks to the standard controls. A guitar truly fit for a king.

 

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
