The Epiphone B.B. King Lucille isn't just a guitar; it’s a direct line to the heart of the blues. Inspired by the legendary Gibson ES models that the King of the Blues relied on for decades, this instrument is a loving tribute designed to capture the singing sustain and stinging vibrato that defined a genre. Whether you are stepping onto a stage or digging into a jam session at home, Lucille is ready to deliver royalty-level tone without the royal price tag.
Command Your Tone
This instrument is engineered to give you complete authority over your sound. With versatile electronics and a unique body design, it solves the age-old problems of semi-hollow guitars while expanding your sonic palette.
Feedback-Free Amplification: Crank your amp without that ear-splitting howl. Unlike typical semi-hollow guitars, Lucille has no f-holes — a specific request from B.B. King himself. This design, combined with a maple center block, lets you unleash searing leads at high volumes without the feedback that plagues most hollow-body instruments.
Sonic Versatility with Varitone: Why settle for one tone when you can have a spectrum? The six-position Varitone switch is your secret weapon, acting as a notch filter to instantly dial in everything from thin, funky quacks to thick, syrupy warmth.
Stereo Output Flexibility: Ready to build a wall of sound? Run your output in mono or split it into stereo. Send your neck pickup to one amp and your bridge to another for a massive, complex tone that fills any room.
Built for the Limelight
Reliability meets playability in a guitar designed to handle the rigors of the road. Every component has been selected to ensure that when you reach for a note, it rings out true.
Precise On-the-Fly Tuning: The TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners lets you make quick, precise adjustments mid-song without touching the headstock, keeping your tuning spot-on even during intense performances.
Sleek Ebony Fretboard: The ebony fretboard offers a smooth, fast surface for effortless runs and expressive bends. Its tight grain and sharp attack are complemented by elegant pearloid block inlays.
Reliable Stability: Equipped with Grover® Rotomatic® tuners and a Graph Tech® nut, this setup ensures rock-solid tuning stability. You can focus entirely on your playing, knowing Lucille will stay perfectly in tune through every note.
A Golden Masterpiece
A guitar named Lucille needs to look the part, and this model is dressed to impress. From the headstock to the output jack, it drips with the sophistication and class associated with the blues legend.
Gold Hardware Elegance: The gold tuners, pickup covers, and bridge aren’t just functional — they’re striking design elements. Their bold contrast against the finish ensures you’ll stand out under the lights.
Tribute to a Legend: Authentic details include a brass truss rod cover engraved with B.B. King’s name and the famous "Lucille" mother-of-pearl inlay on the headstock, a nod to music history in your hands.
EpiLite Case Included: Keep your guitar protected with the included EpiLite case, combining the durability of a hard case with the portability of a gig bag.
A Legacy You Can Play
The Epiphone B.B. King Lucille offers a rare combination of historical significance, professional specs, and stunning aesthetics, making it the perfect partner for anyone ready to sing the blues.

Worth every penny.
Epiphone has really stepped up its game the last four or five years. They have been turning out some great instruments that are very well made, to the point it becomes difficult to justify the headstock tax of the Big G. This Lucille is no different.
