Gibson has dressed up B.B. King's Lucille, one of the most famous guitars in the world, with gold sparkles in the ebony finish and abalone fingerboard inlays.

B.B. King "Super Lucille"

Available Colors: Black Sparkle (Ebony with gold metal flake)

It still sports the original Lucille's special features, including a Vari-tone with bypass setting and a top with no soundholes, and B.B.'s signature of approval is right there on the pickguard.
