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.

Sound: the sound is great this is a very flexible guitar i play a wide range of music this thing does it all its a shame they only market it as a blues guitar six way vari-tone switch is amazing channel one is a by-pass this guitar by its self has a very bassy tone to it, channel two brightens up alot its a good over all, three and four i was messing around with some solo licks, channel five is great if you wanna pull out some thrash of heavy stuff, now for channel six, it takes everything down to single coils and gives off a nice strat like sound great for punk rock and what not, Feature: features are great its like 18 diff guitars in one!!! channels 3 and 4 on the vari tone is not very strong but still this guitar rocks !!!!!! the mono stereo out put is awesome you can run one amp on distortion and one on clean and switch back and forth or run both at once not something i will end up using during a gig two cables running out would be a pain and another wireless unit is out of budget right now but something fun to play with Ease of Use: well like with any new guitar it takes some getting use to i own nothing but bc rich guitar and bc richs have skinny slim necks this baby has a wider neck then im use to some one with smaller hands ming have a problem with it but still the pros out way the cons Quality: fantastic great finish very happy with it zzounds packed up nice and neat for me, this guitar is heavy and feels very solid , the only real flaw out of the box is the E sticker on the pick guard is peeling off no biggy for me i wanted off any way, aside from that fantastic, and like with any new guitar it need some adjustments nothing major the bridge was a little wracky out of the ox but it was very easy to set the way i wanted it the neck is very straight Value: very great value, you will see older ones selling for the 350- 500 range, the newer models have better pots and electronics then the older years Manufacturer Support: i have not had to deal with them yet but i imagine that it will be a great experience if i have to The Wow Factor: its great looking its beautiful out of the box i have a nice rig set up and now its 10 times better with this beauty i cant wait to play live with her !!!! Overall: Amazing quality and sound buy it now !!!!!

Overall: I recently saw a friend of mine who brought a gibson bb king lucille guitar and it sounded greated. My bb king lucille guitar sounds just as good as a matter of fact i can hardly tell the difference. It has a warm rich sound to it and don't sleep on the sustain and clean distortion the pick ups bring to the stage. BOOM NUTHIN BUT MUSIC!

Back to Product Information
Sound: varitone provides a lot of flexibility, but the overall output has to be tweaked too much to make it useful for live performances. Upgrading pups and strings a must. Feature: a ton of cool features, great for experimenting, but can also make it a challenge to find the perfect sound during a performance if you make changes in the fly. Best to keep it set, but then that limits the value of the many features. Ease of Use: a lot of features and takes some time to get what you want, but plays well once you find your sound. Quality: reasonably well made, pretty good value for the price. Value: again, very few instruments can match the overall value of this product. The fit, finish, and features make this a very attractive buy. Manufacturer Support: I'm giving support a 10, but only because of the brand reputation. I have not needed to use support for this axe, so I have no doubt support works well. The Wow Factor: It's cool as a conversation piece, but can still be a useful guitar once it is broken in well. Limited market because it is tailored to one genre of music so it gets a 7. Overall: This will be a keeper, I have no plans to replace it unless I go with the Gibson version.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

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!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
