The Gibson BB King Lucille was created for the very real needs of a constantly working guitarist dealing with the reality of stage volumes. BB King led a relatively large band, and tended to turn his amp to 10 and control volume from the guitar. This could easily result in wild feedback. To address this, Gibson modified the iconic ES-355, removing the F-holes to seal the acoustic chambers and added an access panel on the back for installing and servicing the electronics. Gretsch took a similar approach for Chet Atkins models in the late 1950’s, sealing the body, adding trestle bracing, and providing a rear access panel. The Gibson BB King Lucille first appeared in 1988 and has been in production from the Nashville plant since. This particular series ran from 1988 to 1999.
