The Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation has announced a
special fundraising sweepstakes honoring the life and legacy of B.B.
King, timed to coincide with the release of B.B. King’s Blues Summit 100, the
landmark centennial tribute curated by Joe Bonamassa in partnership with
the B.B. King Estate. ORDER

At the center of the sweepstakes is an exceptionally rare, one-of-a-kind
Gibson Custom Shop Lucille guitar, inspired by B.B. King’s iconic
instrument and crafted exclusively for this moment. The sweepstakes has
already raised more than $13,000 toward its $25,000 goal, with proceeds
supporting the Foundation’s ongoing work funding music education
programs, instruments, scholarships, and grants for schools across the
United States. To learn more, please visit

Only one Blue Sparkle Lucille Legacy model was ever made, making the
guitar a museum-worthy collector’s piece. The instrument features a “How
Blue Can You Get” Blue Sparkle finish, gold sparkle purfling along the
headstock and body binding, and a polished brass pick guard engraved with
the B.B. King Museum’s official “100 Years of B.B. King” graphic. The
guitar includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
“This sweepstakes is about honoring B.B. King in a way that reflects what
he stood for,” said representatives for the Keeping the Blues Alive
Foundation. “B.B. believed deeply in passing the music forward, and this
is a tangible way to celebrate his centennial while directly supporting
the next generation of musicians.”
