Description

Here we have a very rare Gibson ES-355 Lucille made for BB King s 80th birthday. The guitar is a limited edition numbered 65 of 80 produced for this one time run to celebrate BB King s 80th!  BB liked this model so much this was what he played until his death and that prototype was sold recently for $280k!  The guitar is exceptional and a clear cut above the standard Lucille models produced.  The guitar has been in a large collection and is in unplayed condition. The guitar has unique appointments and is just a one of a kind Lucille model.  With the new Gibson Legacy model now $7k this model seems a bargain with its limited number and 80th Birthday features.  The OHSC and COA are included.
