Here's your pic of your Lucille in all her glory. (Little Richard is smiling from somewhere.)

If she ever leaves you at least there is already a song written about her

Or maybe it is BB King picking his Lucille somewhere.

Absolutely!!

Interesting BB King story from Wiki that I assume is more or less true (it does show attribution):

"In the winter of 1949, King played at a dance hall in Twist, Arkansas. The hall was heated by a barrel half-filled with burning kerosene set in the middle of the dance floor, a fairly common practice at the time. During a performance, two men began to fight, knocking over the barrel and sending the burning fuel across the floor. The hall burst into flames and was evacuated.[1]

Once outside however, King realized that he had left his guitar inside so he went back into the burning building to retrieve his beloved $30 Gibson guitar. King learned the next day that the two men who started the fire had been fighting over a woman who worked at the hall named Lucille. King did not know Lucille but named that guitar, and every guitar he subsequently owned, Lucille, as a reminder never again to do something as stupid as run into a burning building or fight over a woman.[2]"

IMO that is too cool to be fake! The story can be "true" whether it is factual or not.

Posting a pic of our friend Englebert's (CarMagic) 1984 Targa Custom that he magically transformed into this beauty as chronicled previously on Carpokes. A fascinating transformation, for sure!
