(SOLD) Epiphone BB King Lucille Bone White 2021
Epiphone Lucille, bone white, made in China 2021. You know that scene at the end of The Blues Brothers when Cab Calloway sings 'Minnie the Moocher' on a dazzling white grand piano? Here's the perfect guitar for that scene. BB King casts a huge shadow over the guitar universe, very few players can boast his prestige as a storyteller in sound. This feels like a quality instrument in the hands: sturdy hardware, tidy fretwork, well balanced... it's unassuming and reliable. The varitone switch means you can dial all manner of tones out of the humbuckers, from lo-fi grizzles to fat, warm legato leads to hi-fi crisp rhythm tones. Dial up your iconic aesthetic a few notches with this and a matching hat... and some gold teeth for good measure.
