This is a Gibson BB King signature model Lucille guitar just like the guitar he plays on stage. Not the cheaper Epiphone version of this guitar. This is in most people's opinion the greatest signature model guitar you can ever buy, and this one is HAND SIGNED by B.B. King himself!??A???A? It really doesn't get any better, but oh wait, it does, it even comes with a Gibson hard shell case!??A???A? This doesn't just come with a typical COA, this comes CERTIFIED AUTHENTIC from a UACC Registred Dealer, the most respected COA that you can find on the planet!
