BB King didn't have any Lucilles, just a brand new Gibson ES-335, then one night while playing at a local bar, a fighting broked out (knives),somebody knocked of a lamp?, an a fire spread over the whole place, BB ran along side everybody , then he remembered the guitar, turned around while the place was burning grabbed the guitar and almost made it out. So that night he found out the name of the woman that had caused the fight and the fire. Lucille.

That's pretty much it, but it wasn't anything as glamorous as an ES-335, it was a Gibson acoustic (this happened in 1949). He calls his guitars Lucille to remind him never to do anything that stupid again.

no.

I'm pretty sure he's paid for the early models and not all of them have sustainers fitted.
