Up for sale is a 2024 Gibson Custom Shop B.B. King Lucille Legacy in stunning Transparent Ebony, an absolutely gorgeous tribute to one of the most iconic artists and instruments in electric guitar history. Built with exceptional attention to detail by the Gibson Custom Shop, this model captures the elegance, feel, and unmistakable stage presence of B.B. King’s legendary “Lucille” while offering premium craftsmanship and luxurious appointments throughout.

This example is in excellent condition and is very close to near mint overall, showing only the faintest signs of handling along with one small chip to a volume knob. Aside from that minor cosmetic detail, the guitar is an absolute beauty and presents exceptionally well with a deep, rich Transparent Ebony finish that looks incredible under light. The gold hardware, multi-ply binding, and elegant appointments all come together for a truly high-end visual presence worthy of the Lucille name.

The build quality is exactly what you would expect from Gibson’s Custom Shop division, with a comfortable neck profile, flawless fretwork, and outstanding resonance throughout the instrument. The guitar plays effortlessly up and down the neck with smooth action and a refined feel that immediately inspires confidence in hand.

Tonally, this Lucille delivers the warm, expressive voice that made B.B. King’s sound so instantly recognizable. The semi-hollow construction offers exceptional depth and bloom while maintaining clarity and articulation, and the humbuckers produce rich cleans, smooth midrange response, and singing lead tones with remarkable sustain. Whether played clean through a vintage-style amp or pushed into smooth overdrive, the guitar retains a sophisticated and dynamic character that feels equally suited for blues, jazz, soul, and classic rock applications.

From the stereo-style control layout to the elegant headstock detailing and ebony aesthetic, this instrument fully embraces the spirit of the original Lucille models while benefiting from modern Custom Shop precision and consistency.

Includes all original case candy, Certificate of Authenticity, and the original Lifton hard case.

An exceptionally clean and highly collectible Custom Shop piece that honors one of the greatest guitarists of all time while standing firmly on its own as a world-class instrument.
