Sun Sounds Foundation Auctions B.B. King Autographed Guitar on eBay to Benefit Sun Sounds of Arizona

Tucson, AZ, September 14, 2007 – B. B. King autographed a beautiful Ibanez "Artcore" Series AS73 semi-hollow body electric guitar for the Sun Sounds Foundation to auction on eBay. Its proceeds will benefit Sun Sounds of Arizona, a radio reading and information access service for people who find it difficult or impossible to read print because of a medical condition or disability.

The guitar is similar in style to the Gibson guitar that B. B. King plays, affectionately called "Lucille". It is transparent cherry and features the following:

•Maple body
•Mahogany neck
•Bound rosewood fretboard
•22 large frets
•ACH1 humbucker at the neck
•ACH2 humbucker at the bridge
•Chrome hardware
•Pearl dot inlays

Item Number: 150160215667. The auction closes Sep-20-07 08:28:10 PDT

In the last few years, B. B. King only signs guitars to be used as fundraisers for charitable causes. This is a great opportunity to own a signed guitar from a blues legend while you help the Sun Sounds Foundation raise funds for Sun Sounds of Arizona.
As an item of authenticity, one of the pictures included shows Sun Sounds volunteer Jeff Kercher, with B. B. King in his personal touring bus. For a look at those photos, more details and to place your bid, visit:
