▶ Products used in this video:

The Epiphone Lucille ES-335 is a beautiful tribute honoring the man and the guitar that changed the blues forever. Lucille was in many ways B.B.'s muse, so we faithfully recreated the look, feel, and sound of the various Gibson ES™ models he played.

The Epiphone Lucille in Ebony features gold hardware, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, ebony fretboard with pearloid block inlays, a brass truss rod cover with B.B. King's name engraved on it, a mother of pearl Lucille inlay on the headstock face, multi-ply binding on the body and headstock, a TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners, and a semi-hollow body with a maple center block to reduce feedback. And just like B.B.'s Lucille, it doesn't feature f-holes, a modification B.B. made to his guitars to further reduce the chances of feedback. The thrill is back and now within reach of players of all levels.

[MaTTheWish]

Being an artist is about expressing and reflecting the way you feel, if a guitar makes you feel good it will be evident in your music.

Where did they dig up the L5? that is THE BB Amp!! a store in my town had one and when BB would come through and play here he always rented that one, the owner passed and the new owners sold all the old man amps and got Mesa Boogies :(

[c.tes]

Please let me know what background song is

[paulcopsey]

Oh come on, I've only just started to buy the Epiphone Les Paul Lazarus. My bank balance won't stand this. Keeping 1 secret from your wife is bad enough, but 2! If Epiphone do a 50s Gold Top with P 90s in the next few weeks I'm toast.

This might seem controversial, but why not have any actually like blues guitar in the background music for this? Seems really strange.

[SunMaschine]

Why can you produce left-handed guitars?

[JaimeCerrada]

I'm sure it will be a great guitar but... it's "almost" twice the price of the "old" model.

[smalltowninnewmexico]

literally JUST got a Casino....wtf!!!!

[williep]

Epiphone is if you want something to look like the real thing. Gibson is for if you want to sound and play like the real thing.
