USED Gibson USA / B.B.King Lucille Ebony (Ebony Fingerboard) [2005/4.36kg]

Ebony fretboard period Gibson B.B. King Signature Model Lucille, made in 2005.

The B.B. King Lucille is a signature model based on the various Gibson ES models (all named "Lucille") that B.B. King, the King of the Blues, played over the years. This is his signature model. It is a semi-acoustic with no feedback f-holes, a 6-position Varitone switch, block position marks on the ebony fingerboard, and a TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners for tension adjustment on each string.

A signature model with specs similar to the ES-345 and ES-355, this is an easy-to-use instrument.

Nut has been replaced, and shows signs of use (scratches from slipping and playing, hairline scratches, picking marks, fading/fogging/bitzing of metal parts and screws, and other exterior damage).

The fret board has been set up (cleaning, string replacement, rod adjustment, octave adjustment, string height adjustment, nut replacement, fret adjustment, fret and binding gap correction) upon arrival. The truss rod can be adjusted to ±60 degrees.

Item Rank: B+: Some scratches, but no problems in normal use.
