Step into the legendary world of B.B. King with the Gibson Custom Shop B.B. King Lucille Legacy 'Transparent Ebony' Electric Guitar, a tribute to the undisputed King of the Blues. This meticulously crafted re-creation of B.B.'s iconic custom-spec'd ES-355 showcases a 3-ply figured maple body with no F-holes, finished in a striking transparent nitrocellulose lacquer. Equipped with CustomBucker pickups and a handwired harness, this guitar delivers the vintage PAF tone that B.B. King was known for. The SlimTaper neck profile and 22-fret ebony fingerboard ensure effortless string bending and smooth staccato picking, while the gold hardware, including a gold "B.B. King" engraved truss rod cover and TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners, adds a touch of elegance to this blues masterpiece.

The Lucille Legacy features Gibson’s renowned semi-hollowbody construction, but with a twist – B.B. King requested that his signature model omit the F-holes for a unique sonic profile. The guitar’s design sits between a semi-hollowbody and chambered solidbody, offering excellent feedback resistance while maintaining rich warmth and resonance. Equipped with a mono Varitone circuit and CustomBucker pickups with Alnico V magnets, this guitar lets you explore a wide range of tonal possibilities, from chimey rhythm to searing leads. Whether you play blues, jazz, rock, or country, the Lucille Legacy delivers a sound worthy of the blues royalty B.B. King himself.
