Gibson B.B. King Lucille Guitar Review :: Electric Guitars Reviews
B.B.’s personal touches on his signature model – play the blues.
Blues legend B.B. King had been playing Gibsons for over 40 years when they officially joined forces in 1982. B.B.’s personal touches on his Lucille signature model include the fine-tuner tailpiece, the semi-hollow body with no soundholes and, of course, the name that has adorned his guitars throughout his career “Lucille”. In a few words, this musical instrument is a very smooth, sweet blues axe.
