About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
For those after a BB. King model, this may be time to grab one. I've been really impressed with the quality of Epiphone instruments over the last few years and as you'd expect the prices have risen as well. I certainly think £849 is overpriced for what you're getting here, but it's much, much more palatable at £639.
Andertons are £10 more than this, so worth keeping an eye there too, just in case a price battle happens (I doublt it, but still)
B.B. King, B.B. King, let me iiiiiin!
Absolutely nothing to do with TWD, but the first thing I thought of when I saw this offer was Negan
Which is pretty bad considering B.B King is in the title. Anyway, in case you wondered what the mental picture was....
Specifications
At A Glance:
Based on Mr King's own iconic Gibson, the Epiphone B.B. King Lucille Ebony delivers the original's unmistakable look and profile at a fantastic price.
This is one feature-laden guitar, sporting the classic Gibson ES style body without F-holes, one of BB's own specific requests to cut down on feedback. The electronics are very impressive, with a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, wired to CTS pots, with Mono and Stereo outputs and a 6-Position Varitone Switch for MAXIMUM tonal versatility. The Epiphone Lucille is also fitted with Epiphone's top hardware appointments such as the Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and TP-6 Stop Bar with Fine Tuners for complete tuning precision and stability.
The Epiphone B.B. King Lucille Ebony is built to take you everywhere from smooth jazz tones, to serious rock& roll sounds, to making your axe cry with the Blues, just like B.B. This guitar also comes supplied with Epiphone's EpiLite case.
Features We Love:
Unmistakable StyleIt's the Lucille! B.B King's signature Gibson ES is unmistakable with its white bound, ebony black body with gold hardware and no f-holes, and this Epiphone model recreates this style perfectly.
Powerful Electronics
Versatility and quality of tone is the name of the game here. A pair of gorgeous Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers are wired to top quality CTS volume and tone pots, a 6-position Varitone switch (essential for some of Mr King's classic sounds) and both Mono and Stereo outputs.
Top Drawer Hardware
The Epiphone B.B. King Lucille Ebony isn't just about great looks and sounds, this guitar is built tough and built to perform.

sorted byi have heard rumours of a price increase for epi's and gibsons ..coming in march i believe
.....thinking of biting on a inspired by gibson epi les paul before that happens
having trouble finding them in store to try though
Price rises on Epiphones at this stage, takes them off the table for me, really. I've been thinking about grabbing a Les Paul for a while, but not really decided. My local music shop (50 mile ish round trip) is closing down and stock is pretty low after the prices they were doing last week. (50% off all guitars) So nothing there to play around with.
It's looking like I'll be waiting for a while longer. Cheers for the shout on that. Hopefully it's just a rumour, but right now... It's probably more likely than not
