The Little Lucille has a number of distinctive features that distinguish it from virtually all other Gibsons. The Little Lucille's body outline is the same as a slightly earlier range of guitars, the Nighthawks (1993–1999), but unlike the Nighthawks, the Little Lucille is a semi-hollow bodied guitar with twin f-holes and a flat (uncarved) top. Other distinctive / innovative features include: • 25.5 inch scale length (the same as many Fenders, Gibson's more typically have a 24.75 inch scale length) • Blues 90 pickups (a modified version of the P-90 pickup) • noise reduction circuitry which employs a dummy coil • a Varitone circuit (similar to that used on the Gibson ES345) – the Varitone circuit is a mid-cut/band-stop filter with a choice of five center frequencies • a light guitar – the body is made from poplar, capped with maple – the body is small and relatively thin and has two cavities • simple control set – master volume, master tone, three-way pickup selector, six-way rotary Varitone control switch

Gibson Little Lucille is recorded as made of maple wood, poplar wood, mahogany wood and rosewood. Classified as a guitar.
