A blues guitarist but also a historic singer from the 1950s onward: with 41 studio albums, 19 live albums, 10 collections and 14 Grammys, <strong>B.B. King<\/strong> is a true blues legend, a reference point for bluesmen everywhere.

Modern heating systems did not exist at the time, and so the owner of the restaurant thought of lighting kerosene inside a barrel, a dangerous but popular practice at the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At one point, two men, probably drunk and on a high, start playing grab-ass with each other over a woman named <strong>Lucille<\/strong>. During the scuffle, the two drop the barrel, spraying the floor with kerosene. Local destroyed and everyone fleeing, but in the general commotion, 24-year-old <strong>BB King<\/strong>, who has just left, notices that he has left his guitar inside the club. On impulse, without a second thought, he returned to the burning building and rescued her.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With a cool mind, <strong>BB King<\/strong> thinks back to how crazy that act had been that had endangered his life, but at the same time he sensed that that episode would be the beginning of a long love affair with that guitar. At this point it was just a matter of finding a name for the guitar, and the choice fell on <strong>Lucille<\/strong>, the name of the woman who was the reason for the discussion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lucille<\/strong> is not only the name of the guitar but also of a 1968 <strong>BB<\/strong> King album containing 9 tracks, the first song being of course entitled Lucille, <strong>BB King<\/strong>&#8216;s historic song.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8287\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestoryinst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BBKing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestoryinst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BBKing.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.thestoryinst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BBKing-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thestoryinst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BBKing-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thestoryinst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BBKing-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thestoryinst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BBKing-1536x804.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thestoryinst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BBKing-585x306.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>SPECIFICATIONS:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a><span class=\"feature-title\"><strong>No f-holes:<\/strong> <\/span><span class=\"feature-copy\">Classic ES-355 style body but without f-holes<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a><span class=\"feature-title\"><strong>Finish<\/strong>: <\/span><span class=\"feature-copy\">Elegant high-gloss Ebony<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a><span class=\"feature-title\"><strong>Hardware<\/strong>: <\/span><span class=\"feature-copy\">Gold-plated throughout<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a><span class=\"feature-title\"><strong>Binding<\/strong>: <\/span><span class=\"feature-copy\">Multi-ply body binding<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a><span class=\"feature-title\"><strong>Inlays<\/strong>: <\/span><span class=\"feature-copy\">Mother-of-pearl block inlays<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a><span class=\"feature-title\"><strong>Tone switch<\/strong>: <\/span><span class=\"feature-copy\">Six-position Varitone tone network<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a><span class=\"feature-title\"><strong>Tailpiece<\/strong>: <\/span><span class=\"feature-copy\">TP-6 fine-tuning tailpiece<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"ctl00_plcMain_Feature08\"><a><span class=\"feature-title\"><strong>Pickups<\/strong>: <\/span><span class=\"feature-copy\">490R and 490T humbuckers<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Gibson<\/strong> Memphis workshop honors the 65th anniversary of that event with a celebratory model 100% made in the USA.
