B.B. King tribute guitar
With the Gibson B.B. King Lucille Legacy Transparent Ebony, the legendary semi-hollow Signature guitar of the late King Blues, who died in 2015, returns to the line-up of the Gibson Custom store. As part of the Gibson Artist Collection, the luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop the Lucille not only with all the features for King's unmistakable Signature sound, but also with a range of fine appointments that make the semi-acoustic guitar an absolute collector's item and elegant companion for stage and Studio. While the semi-acoustic body and two Gibson custom bucker with varitone switching create the basis for top-class Blues sounds, the slim taper neck promises excellent playing characteristics. Gibson Custom Shop the B.B. King Lucille Legacy with high-quality Hardware in the form of a TP-6 fine tuners tailpiece, an ABR-1 bridge and precise Grover tuners.
The Gibson B.B. King Lucille Legacy Transparent Ebony comes from the Gibson Artist Custom Collection and impresses with first-class playing characteristics and the unmistakable sound of the King of Blues.
The "Slim Taper" profile of the mahogany neck with Long Neck Tenon promises butter-soft playing characteristics.
Traditionally built Semi Hollow guitar
The construction of the B.B. King Lucille Legacy Semi-Hollow guitar follows the Gibson Custom Shop naturally, follows traditional guidelines and uses three-layer maple-poplar laminate for the top, back and sides, with the top layer being made of elegant curly maple. and to reliably prevent feedback at high volumes, the body is not only stabilized by a solid maple center block, but the top is also made without F-holes. The mahogany neck, which is set into the body with a long neck foot, offers comfortable playing characteristics with its pleasantly slim "slim taper" profile, so that every lick on the ebony fingerboard comes out of the fingers as if by magic.
Gibson Custombucker and the hand-wired Vari-Tone circuit promise lively blues sounds.
Custom bucker and Varitone circuit
The B.B. King Lucille's electric tone conversion is handled by Gibson Custombuckers in the neck and bridge positions. As legitimate descendants of the legendary PAF humbuckers of the Fifties, the Alnico pickups impress with a particularly warm vintage sound that skillfully combines the timbre of the semi-acoustic guitar with airy dynamics and creates the perfect basis for the traditional timbres of Blues. Gibson naturally equips the Lucille Legacy with the six-position Varitone switch, which is a key component of B.B. King's unique tone. In addition to the true bypass in position 1, the rotary switch provides five notch filters that remove different frequencies and thus support the creation of guitar sounds with a strong character. A traditional, hand-wired circuit with "Bumblebee" oil paper capacitors for particularly harmonious TrebleRoll offs is also available for control over the pickup.
Gold-plated Grover Rotomatic tuners bring the B.B. King Lucille Legacy quickly and precisely into the correct tuning.
High-quality hardware equipment
Last but not least, the Gibson Custom Shop the B.B. King Lucille Legacy Transparent Ebony with high-quality Hardware, whose gold finish emphasizes the elegant character of the electric guitar. While the classic ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge promises precise adjustment of intonation and string action, the six fine tuners of the TP-6 tailpiece favored by B.B. King guarantee particularly accurate tuning of the electric guitar. Grover Rotomatic tuners with tulip wings on the beautiful Bindings open-book headstock also promise high tuning stability.
