This 2021 Epiphone B.B. King Lucille Exclusive is in excellent virtually unplayed cosmetic condition. This guitar shows no wear and is like new. The original Epiphone bridge and TP-6 tailpiece have been changed out for a more traditional stop tailpiece and ABR-1 style bridge that were professionally installed. No modifications were made for the installation of the new bridge and tailpiece. The original bridge and tailpiece are included and could be reinstalled if desired. The neck profile on this instrument is that of a medium chunky rounded C shape with a 1 11/16” nut width. This neck is comfortable and very easy to play. The fret wire is in immaculate condition and doesn’t show any wear or divots. This guitar has been professionally set up and it plays superbly up and down the fingerboard with low smooth action and spot on intonation. All of the electronics are in perfect operating order and both of the Epiphone Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers sound great in all three positions. This instrument sounds quite nice for most styles of music, clean or dirty. This guitar, of course, excels as a rhythm and blues machine but is also perfectly suitable for Jazz and rock! The Varitone switch makes for some very unique voicings and the volume and tone controls are quite interactive. This is a very solid offering from Epiphone and just a great overall value. The fit and finish on this guitar is exceptional. The Cherry Red is very vibrant and pairs nicely with the fancy appointments and gold hardware. A very nice guitar!
