Product Description
The Epiphone "Lucille" is based on the famously-named Gibson ES guitars that blues legend B.B. King used over several decades. It's classy gloss Ebony finish, gold hardware, pearloid block inlays and bound tortoise pickguard make it instantly recognisable, and there are plenty of unique custom features that set it apart from a stock Epiphone ES-335 semi-hollow model.
Boasting a LockTone bridge, TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners, a semi-hollow body without f-holes (in order to reduce feedback), a six-position 'Varitone' switch and stereo/mono output jacks for maximum flexibility — it's a lot of guitar for the money!
Key Features
- Semi-Hollow Body — Yields an open and airy tone, enhanced by the bright-sounding layered Maple tonewoods.
- Rounded "C" Neck — Old-school profile delivers a "time capsule" feel that'll strongly appeal to traditionalists.
- Ebony Fingerboard — Smooth and silky material, featuring a comfortable 12" radius and 22 frets.
- Medium Jumbo Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
- Graph Tech Nut — Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips.
- LockTone Bridge — Locking design holds down the strings for hassle-free restringing, and contributes to the impressive sustain of the instrument.
- TP-6 Tailpiece — Features fine tuners that allow you to make precise pitch adjustments on the fly.
- Grover Rotomatic Tuners — High-quality design ensures years of reliable use.
- Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO Humbuckers — Acclaimed pickups; project powerful output and possess a rich, dynamic character.
- CTS Potentiometers — Enable smooth control over individual pickup volume and tone.
- Stereo & Mono Output Jacks — Stereo jack allows you to route the guitar through two amplifiers.
- Included EpiLite Case — Perfectly protects Lucille against knocks on the road!
