Description

SKU 8500075AUSTRALIS

When B.B. King made his first recordings for Sam Phillips€™ Memphis Recording Services, King was initially known as a talented vocalist and in fact didn€™t always play lead guitar on his early records. But that would all change by the mid €˜50s as King and his guitar, nicknamed Lucille, became the voice of the blues. 
 
With hits like €œRock Me Baby,€ €œSweet Little Angel,€ €œSweet Sixteen,€ and €œThe Thrill Is Gone,€ King put the blues on the Top 40 charts, made himself and Lucille household names, became the first blues artist signed to a major label, and with his singular vocal and guitar style, was an inspiration to a mighty generation of blues and rock artists including Otis Rush, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Michael Bloomfield, Duane Allman, and Magic Sam.
 
King€™s singular tone has everything you€™d want to hear in electric blues guitar€”a bell-like ring with a hint of overdrive, soaring highs and gritty lows, and all driven home by King€™s mighty left hand tremolo. The Epiphone B. B. King Lucille was designed by B. B. King himself and puts all the tone and nuance of King€™s own favorite guitar in your hands.
 
As with all Epiphones, Lucille comes with a Limited Lifetime Guarantee and 24/7/365 Gibson Customer Service.
