Figured Maple Veneer For Aesthetic Majesty

The figured maple veneer adorning the top, back and sides of the Gibson Custom B.B. King Lucille Legacy semi-hollow electric guitar makes a stunning visual statement. Its flame maple pattern dances under the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish for a shimmering, luxurious appearance.

Aesthetically and sonically, the figured maple veneer elevates this tribute to blues royalty.

Versatile Tone From Premium Pickups and Electronics

A mono Varitone switch pairs with a duo of Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups to produce a range of tones from the Gibson Custom B.B. King Lucille Legacy semi-hollow electric guitar. The Varitone switch selects from six tonal variations, while the Custombucker pickups provide warmth and clarity. Four premium audio-taper CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil Bumblebee capacitors give you nuanced control over volume and tone. Dial in punchy blues leads, round jazz tones or anything in between. Premium pickups and electronics make this a tonally versatile and inspiring instrument.

Playability From an Iconic Design

The iconic semi-hollow body design and ebony fingerboard of the Gibson Custom B.B. King Lucille Legacy semi-hollow electric guitar offer a comfortable playing experience.
