wheels_detroit Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hey everyone, Just looking at the 2019 models, and it seems they may have discontinued the BB King Lucille model. Am I right or wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmachine Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hey everyone, Just looking at the 2019 models, and it seems they may have discontinued the BB King Lucille model. Am I right or wrong? They have not had a Lucille since the 2016 model year, though some of those were made well into 2017. Does not mean they won't make them any more. For example, look under 2015 Flying V. Nothing there. Was not the end of Flying Vs, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheels_detroit Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 I see Lucille is back, which is good, but in Alpine White???? C'mon Gibson, really, white??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmachine Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Looks to be basically the same as the last one. Other than some cosmetics, it changed to a one piece maple neck. Not a fan of the white. I think it loses some of the bling because the white binding gets lost in the white body color. Unfortunately, I can't see any other color binding working with white either.

SteveFord Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Personally, I feel that the Lucille (and all of the other upper crust Gibsons) vanished when they went to Richlite. Richlite may be a perfectly fine substitute but it doesn't belong on a top of the line guitar. Way to go, Henry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
