This gorgeous BB King Lucille from 2003 showed up late last week, part of a collection of four early 2000s Gibson guitars – the rest are coming soon.
This beauty is all original and it is exceptionally clean for a nearly 22 year old guitar. Fret wear is barely perceptible. The entire guitar is brilliantly clean, from the tip of the headstock to the lower-bout strap button.
The guitar plays perfectly, and the truss rod has been checked to make sure there is room for future neck relief adjustments.
The original case and paperwork are included.
