SVL........I saw BB in AC almost 2 years ago. The guy can still play and sing. He puts on a good show. Still has his chops and voice.

PBP, his tone on his 335 is beautifull, and he is playing well. A nice show so far. He just had Terrence Howard out for some guest vocals, and they did a nice slow blues (Help I don't really need), and Richie Sambora is coming out at some point too. Good show if you can catch it on PBS!

Lucille in her current form is a Gibson ES-355. B.B. has been playing the ES-355 for at least 25 years, before that he played an ES-335. The main difference between those two is that the ES-355 is a custom build ES-345, (custom being that it has closed top plate... note, no f-holes,) rendering it considered a solid body... very unique tonal qualities.
