In the history of the blues, few guitarists have made a more significant impact than B.B. King. His evocative solos, devastating bends, and unmistakable tone are just some of the reasons guitarists the world over have consistently cited B.B. as one the most influential players ever. The Epiphone B.B. King Lucille model introduces an affordable incarnation of the guitar he used to do it all. Recreating the storied innovations and nuances of the bluesman's own instrument, the Epiphone Lucille delivers all the character and quality you need to wail like B.B. King when playing the blues or any other genre.

A Legendary Guitar From a Legendary Guitarist

Notice the lack of F-holes? King long ago altered his semi-hollowbodies to block the F-holes as a means to reduce feedback-- which is ideal for the defined bends and long sustain of his style. More innovative still is the inclusion of a six-way VariTone (tm) control system which combined with the three-way pickup selector creates 18 distinct electronic configurations to choose from. In addition to a bypass setting, the VariTone system includes five filters which shift the center frequency of the output to create an enormous array of tonal options. From dual humbucking warmth -- great for jazz and rhythm -- to the thinner strat-esque squeal of the higher settings, the Lucille can do it all. Top that off with the TP-6 fine-tuning tailpiece for unmatched tuning precision and stability, and you have a guitar worthy of the King himself.

Features:

- Dual Alnico Classic (tm) humbuckers
- VariTone electronic system providing six notch filter settings for an amazing array of tonal options
- Semi-hollowbody guitar with no F-holes reduces feedback and enhances sustain
- TP-6 fine-tuning tailpiece for unmatched precision and stability
- Stereo outputs as used by King to connect to two amps on stage.
- Epiphone Limited Lifetime warranty with 24/7/365 Customer Service

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "All that jazz..."
Sound: I play mainly jazz through Fender Champ 600 tube amp, and after changing strings to 0.013-0.056 ribbon wound D'Addario chromes I couldn't ask for anything more. This guitar delivers jazzy sound with no problems. Quality: Love the quality of this instrument, everything is ok. Overall: Very nice guitar overall. I was kind of worried that since it's a "blues" guitar it will not deliver "woody" sounding jazz sound...well it does deliver jazz sound and then some. Basically you can play any style of music on Epiphone Lucille.

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
