The semi-hollowbodied Lucille has no F-holes, intended to reduce feedback, and boasts two humbuckers along with a tunable TP-6 bridge. The headstock logo has changed over the years, originally simply saying Lucille but more recently wearing a larger B.B. King emblem. - 22
Gibson Custom Shop '59 ES-175D Reissue
2 available from $5,800From the esteemed Memphis factory, the Gibson 1959 ES-175D reissue feels every bit as good as the genuine vintage articles and blooms with exemplary jazzbox tones. No detail went overlooked in recreating this guitar, from the tip of the headstock packed with Kluson tulip tuners to the very base of the zig-zag tailpiece. A pair of Memphis Historic Spec humbuckers nail the sound of original PAF pickups and perfectly transmit the warm, wide sound of this storied hollow body. Available in both Vintage Burst and Natural finishes, the 1959 ES-175D gets the "VOS" treatment to subtly age the guitar and give it the look of a well cared-for instrument from the golden era of Gibson. - 23

Epiphone Casino E230TD 1961 - 1969
6 available from $4,975The Epiphone Casino was one of the main thinline hollowbodies produced by Epiphone following the brand's acquisition by Gibson in 1957. Unlike a Gibson ES-335 or an Epiphone Sheraton, the Casino is a full hollowbody and lacks a wood centerblock running through the middle of the body. The Casino’s close association with the Beatles has greatly enhanced its reputation and collectability. Guitars with the optional tremolo bridge are more sought-after than those with regular trapezoid bridges.
Years of Production: 1961 - 1970, 1995 - present
Body Style: Double cutaway thinbody archtop, full hollowbody
Wood Composition: 5-ply laminate maple and birch body
Design Elements: Two single-coil P90 pickups (also available with one pickup), trapeze tailpiece or optional tremolo tailpiece, 16-inch wide, tune-o-matic bridge, single bound
Finish Specifications: Sunburst was a standard finish for '60s Casinos.
Notable Players: John Lennon, George Harrison, Keith Richards, Noel Gallagher - 40

10 available from $1,700The '60s iteration of the Anniversary model featured Gretsch's single coil Hi-Lo'Tron pickups instead of the original Filter'Tron humbuckers. The Single Anniversary ran unchanged until the early '70s, when Gretsch would reorganize their model numbering system. - 42

Gretsch Viking 1965 - 1971
6 available from $3,500The Viking debuted in 1965 as a new ultra-high end archtop electric from Gretsch, featuring the latest in their proprietary hardware. The Viking was equipped with the new Super'Tron humbuckers, which had been introduced the year before, as well as their unique Floating Sound Unit, or "tuning fork" between the pickups and the bridge, as well as their "T-Zone Tempered Treble" treatment on the upper register of the guitar, meant to improve intonation. While these appointments were hot technology for 1965, they found little traction in the market, and were steadily jettisoned from the Viking's design until 1971, when Gretsch moved the bridge closer to the pickups (into the space where the Floating Sound Unit had occupied) and switched to a smaller format "tube arm" vibrato unit. - 44
