charlie brown Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Well, I FINALLY got my "Lucille" photographed! Since I've often mentioned it, but never shown it...some of you might have been wondering if I really HAD one, or not? Well, here it is, in all it's "BAD"&"Black" glory. ;>) Oh, I added the Grover "Imperial" tuner buttons....just "because." ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Nice. It looks kind of stealthy without the F holes. I like those imperial tuners, they're really classy looking, which suits the Lucille totally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 WOW! If the sound of that beauty is even half as good as the looks of that beauty, then, man, you have a treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Here's Lucille's "Friend" (AIUSA Sheraton II), as well. (What can I say, I was on a photo "mission" this evening)...LOL! ;>b Added Grover "Imperial" turner buttons, to this one, as well. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her "Friend" does too, for that matter. But, since I play in "bars," mostly, these days...my Riviera usually gets the job..."Lucille and "Sheri" are just "too durn purty," to risk all the incidents, that bar playing is noted for.

charlie brown Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thanks, Red. I'm fortunate, to have found/purchased them, when I did. "Lucille" was a real "bargain," back then. Just wish now, I'd have purchased another one, in Red. ;>b But, "C'est La Vie!" CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Beautiful ladies, CB! Can't say as I blame you for keeping them out of the reach of accident-prone or covetous bar patrons ... My congratulations, sir ... and just for the record, I never doubted you for an instant! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiac Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Chuck! I always thought you had the Epiphone Lucille...that's an older model no? Closest thing I ever saw to a real "Lucille" was a friend had one of those ES335 Studios, no block inlays or varitone, but no "F" holes either. Real sweet sounding guitar, I wish I coulda bought it when he sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Summerisle Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Beautiful guitars there, Charlie. You're a lucky man, sir! Incidentally, I don't blame you at all for not taking those to bar gigs...It's not so much of a problem for me with guitars I like, as I mainly play coffee-shop type gigs these days. A less raucous crowd...just the danger of a cappuccino burn on my Hagstrom I guess...(!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadedepi Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 CB, WOW!! To be a gifted player and have all those different guitars at arms reach, brother, you are truly blessed.

bluelake07 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Nice-looking guitars CB and photographed well. I'm not pleased with any of the photos I've taken of my guits, need to work on that. Probably never happen, but I think a Casino without f-holes (maybe call it a Cassie or a Casille? heh) would make for a good guitar, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordy01 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Well' date=' here it is, in all it's "BAD"&"Black" glory. ;>) [img']http://i461.photobucket.com/albums/qq333/charliebrown1949/DSC_0234.jpg[/img] CB CB, I've never seen one of these guitars. Will you answer a few questions for me? 1. What does the 6 position rotary switch do? 2. What kind of tail piece is that, and what does it do?

What does the 6 position rotary switch do? 2. What kind of tail piece is that, and what does it do? Gord[/quote'] TP-6 Tailpiece (Standard on "Lucille") is just a "fine tuning" tailpiece. You can micro tune, with the adjustment screws on top, after you get as close as you can, with the regular tuners. And/or, it's quite easy, to adjust tuning between songs (or, even during a song, if need be), without having to reach up to the headstock. And...they look nice, too. The Varitone switch, runs the signal through various capacitors, to change (thin out) the tone...to single coil like tones. Position 1 is bypass (like a standard 335), and from there, the tone gets progressively thinner. Coupled with the 3 way pickup switch, it offers a LOT of differen tone possibilities. (How useful they are, will be up to the user.) I seem to stay in the "bypass" mode (position 1) or postion 2, for much of what I play. I have used the other's at times...for the particular "voices," they provide. But, it's mostly positions 1 & 2, I seem to like the most.

pohatu771 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I was the high bidder on the Epiphone as of half an hour ago... but lost it. I don't mind, I have my sights set on something else, but it was going for a bargain price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Yeah, the Epi "Lucille" is a great guitar, too. When I bought my Gibson, several years ago, it was 400 dollars less expensive (New), than a ES-335! So, I couldn't pass it up! I have no idea, to this day (beyond, possibly, "demand") why it was less expensive than a standard ES-335, at that time. Just wish now (as I've mentioned before), that I had bought a Red one, too!
