Epiphone B.B. King Lucille Ebony

The classically built Epiphone Lucille features a semi-resonant body made of five-ply maple laminate, which promises an airy resonant fundamental sound with a harmonious acoustic timbre. The closed top without f-holes and the solid maple center block significantly reduce the guitar's feedback susceptibility even at high volumes. The glued maple neck in "Rounded C" profile also fits comfortably in the hand, so that every lick comes out of the fingers with ease on the ebony fingerboard.

The electric tone conversion of the B.B. King Lucille Ebony is handled by two Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, which transport the characterful timbre of the semi-acoustic guitar to the amplifier with airy dynamics and are ideally suited for soulful clean and crunch sounds. In addition to the traditional 3-way circuit, the electric guitar naturally offers the six-position "Magic Switch" of the Varitone circuit, which is a significant component of B.B. King's distinctive sounds. While position 1 is a true bypass that bypasses the Varitone circuit completely, the other five positions call up different filters that remove specific frequency ranges from the overall sound.

Of course, the Epiphone B.B. King Lucille comes with a high-quality hardware equipment, whose gold-plated Finish underlines the elegant look of the guitar. While theLockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge guarantees optimal adjustment of intonation and string action, the combination of Grover Rotomatic tuners and the TP-6 Tailpiece with fine tuners promises absolutely precise tuning of the electric guitar.
