Epiphone B.B. King Lucille Electric Guitar  

Just received the guitar two days ago. Stunning appearance. Nice playing. Set up out of box not too bad, except for strings, which were probably made in China, like the guitar. For the money, you will find few guitars of this quality. This is a specialty guitar. Great for cleaner, BB King style blues. Fabulous for chordal work and rythymn guitar. Going from rythmn to lead requires upward adjustment of volume control.  Rather bassy sound, and lead on higher strings can seem weak compared to bass strings without raising volume. Have not fully explored Varitone capabilities. Not designed for heavy overdrive. Certainly not a metal guitar. A welcome addition to my guitar arsenal.   

I've had my Epiphone Lucille almost three years now and I can't find one bad thing to say about her. I've played her older sister and to tell you the truth, there is no difference in quality, craftmanship or tone. I seriously can't see paying that kind of money for a Gibson if you are a working musician. I would never take that kind of money out on a gig. I've had so many guys come up to me and ask if my guitar is a Gibson and I love it when I tell em it's an Epiphone. They play it and go nuts! Don't let the Lucille name scare you, this guitar is not only for the blues, but it stands out in rock and roll and jazz. If I ever lost it for whatever reason I would buy another one in a heart beat. Whoever made this guitar and whatever country it was made in, they have something to be proud of. Good job guys and gals where ever you are.

I purchased this about a year ago and it's still my goto guitar.  Great sound, feels perfect. I agree with most the stereo jacks are awesome especially when run thru Line6 x3 live. With two inputs and dual paths on the x3 the sounds are unbelievable..  Only complaint is that it didn't come with a case. Other than that...I'd buy this beauty again and again.

I have been playing 20 years and own 2 Strats, a Les Paul and a Hagstrom Viking. I originally went shopping for a Telecaster and came home with Lucille. This guitar has a build quality that I would rate B+ but the sounds this baby can create are incredible. You can make this guitar sound like a strat or a 335 or anything in between with a little tweak of the controls. Action is good and the finish is deep ebony with gold hardwear (that honestly I could live without) Deep resonance from the maple semi hollow is almost like reverb. Buy this guitar! I swore I would never buy an Epiphone! I swore I was always gonna be a Fender guy! Happily I've had to eat those words. I love Lucille!

I got this guitar as an early college graduation gift from the parentals! It has been THE guitar I wanted since I started playing. I have been nothing but impressed with it! The tone is amazing! You can make just about any sound come out of it. I play in the Praise Band at my church and all the musicians noticed a HUGE difference when I first plugged in. The stereo output option is an awesome feature. I have a FX board and it sounds great through it. She deffinately catches the eye as well. I love her and wouldn't have another guitar!
