1995 Gibson BB King Lucille ES-355 Semi-Hollowbody Guitar Ebony Stereo w/ Case
Up for sale, a 1995 Gibson B.B. King āLucilleā ES-355 in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Kingās signature iteration of the 355 platform was crafted to the Blues legendās specifications with no f holes (designed to reduce unwanted feedback) and stereo outputs, finished in an Ebony nitro lacquer gloss.
Tonewoods comprises a semi-hollow maple body (maple centerblock), mahogany neck, and bound ebony fingerboard, and this Lucille weighs 9lbs 13oz. Via the original pair of 490R and 490T humbuckers, this Gibson pairs the attack and articulation of maple with the warmth of the semi-hollow body construction, covering ample tonal ground and delivering everything from harmonic rich growl in the bridge position to Jazz-worthy warmth and fullness with the neck pickup singled out. The six-way Varitone switch adds a bevy of additional tonal options, with thinned-out sounds and midrange forward options, and there are dual outputs for stereo functionality (using a single jack sums the signal in Mono). This Lucille has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mikeās Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The original brown tolex Gibson USA hardshell case is included.
