The Story

Used Memphis B.B. King Lucille ES-355 Electric Guitar Ebony

It's good to be the king, especially when you're B.B. King and you get to play a great guitar with your name on it. This pre-owned Gibson Memphis B.B. King model is based on the blues great's ES-355 semi-hollowbody guitar. The body is thin and, per B.B.'s specs, the neck profile is somewhere between a slim '60s and fatter '58 carve. Electronics include two 490 Alnico pickups, stereo outputs (allowing separate outputs for each pickup), and the six-position vari-tone switch for some preset tonal options. The guitar also features a '70s-era, fine-tuning TP-6 tailpiece for accurate tuning that keeps all your chords intonated just right! This guitar is in excellent overall condition with no notable damage

Includes: Hardshell Case, and Certificate of Authenticity
