Epiphone B.B. King Lucille Ebony Semi-Acoustic Guitar with EpiLite Case
Product no: 9000-0080-0543 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The instantly recognisable B.B. King Signature edition of Lucille makes a welcome return to the Epiphone line-up. This stunning semi-hollowbody echoes every inch of the King's original - from the removed F-holes to the Varitone switch and TP-6 bridge complete with fine-tuners, for mid-lick pitch-tweaking. Since this is essentially an ES-335 without the soundholes, players are treated to lush, shimmering sound free of any on-stage feedback. The B.B. Kins Signature Lucille comes lovingly tucked up inside a form-fitting EpiLite case.

The Epiphone B.B. King Lucille: Tightened Sound, Deluxe Looks & Pure Tuning

The mounted pair of Alnico Classic Pro pickups deliver a tighter sound than most standard humbuckers, and not only come with a three-way switch, but an extra, six-way Varitone switch to triple the tonal palette. Meanwhile, a familiar acoustic foundation is provided by a spruce top and maple back and sides, a deluxe ebony fretboard, and a C-profile maple neck. Finished with flair, every bit of hardware has been gold-plated, and to ensure rock solid tuning and intonation, you get a Lock-Tone bridge, a set of Grover Rotomatic machine heads, and a Graph Tech nut.

Wrote the following about Epiphone B.B. King Lucille Ebony Semi-Acoustic Guitar with EpiLite Case

Absolutely love this guitar, needed a quick setup but in my experience all new guitars do (even my Gibson LP). If anyone is on the boarder about getting one, just do it, you won't regret it. Shipping time and customer service were fantastic as always

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
