Gibson B B King Lucille Thinline Electric Cherry Red, 1999

On November 14, 2018 /

The Gibson B B King Lucille made its debut in 1980 as the B B King Custom, with features specified by the great guitarist himself. Based on the ES-355 models that King had used for years, the Lucille has a sealed, thinline body to resist feedback at high stage volumes. As B B King tended to sit next to his amps, turn them up all the way and then control volume from the guitar, feedback could be an issue.

Gibson ES-175/CC ‘Charlie Christian’ Archtop Electric Sunburst 1979

On November 13, 2018 /

This Gibson ES-175/CC dates to January 31, 1979. It’s in very good, original condition and plays well. This model is unusual, and this particular example even more so. Researching the model, most descriptions mention a ‘Second’ or ‘2nd’ stamp on the back of the headstock. This one doesn’t have that stamp, and so was deemed first quality.

Gibson Southern Jumbo Steel String Guitar Sunburst, 2004

On November 12, 2018 /

The Gibson Southern Jumbo is closely related to the classic J-45, and at times the differences have been mostly market driven and cosmetic. Apparently named to appeal to Gibson dealers in the American South – referring to the Mason-Dixon line, the Southern Jumbo or SJ uses slope-shoulder, spruce and mahogany body construction. The key differences are additional binding on the fingerboard and split-parallelogram position markers.
