This guitar is a commission sale - if you have a high end guitar you are interested in selling, please contact us via our easy to find website - search: Sell Us Your Guitar. Here for sale we have a Gibson BB King "Lucille" Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Ebony finish. Made in the USA in 1991, this set-neck constructed guitar consists of a closed semi-hollow Maple body, a 3-piece Maple neck, and a 22-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include an ABR-1 Bridge, a TP-6 Tailpiece, Mother of Pearl block inlays, Stereo​/​Mono Jacks, and a set of Gibson '490T​/​490R humbucking pickups. These pickups are wired to two independent volume controls, two independent tone controls, and a 6-position Varitone switch. The Gloss finish neck plays very well, with the ‘C’ profile sitting comfortably in the hand and providing a smooth and responsive playing experience in all registers. The Ebony fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 12” radius and Medium Jumbo frets offer a perfect balance between easy chord playing, practicality for lead lines and string bending techniques. The semi-hollow construction gives the guitar a nice open and resonant feel, while keeping unwanted feedback at bay. The semi-hollow body delivers unique acoustic features. It achieves a delicate balance between body resonance and resistance to feedback, this results in an organic vocal quality that is tactile and responsive to the player's touch. The pair of Gibson '490T​/​490R humbucking pickups sound thick and chunky with rich lows, tight, punchy mids and crisp, clear highs. The round and thick tone of the neck position is well complemented by the hotter, brighter bridge pickup which provides all of the bite needed for hard rock lead lines. The 6-way Varitone switch acts as a notch filter to suppress certain frequencies, and offers 6 unique voices which are almost infinitely variable thanks to the standard controls. A guitar truly fit for a king.
