Description

An '81 reissue example of B.B. King's legendary "Lucille" ES-355! Hardly handled and in stock condition with some scuffing, a small blemish in the neck pocket, a scratch on the back, and a slight patina to the hardware from age ~ Otherwise, this gorgeous guitar is relatively untouched, plays great, and sounds fantastic with a wide-range of sounds from the stock electronics! This is a highly collectible early Gibson "Lucille" reissue that came to us straight from Kalamazoo! Includes original hardshell case. This instrument came from our recently acquired "Kalamazoo Collection." We acquired the collection from a married couple that worked at the original factory from the late 50s until the factory closed in June of 1984. These pieces are uncirculated and mostly untouched in mint or near-mint condition ~ The collection also includes 1000s of pieces of memorabilia, new-old-stock parts, and more ~ reach out with any/all inquiries!
