No wonder you had trouble. I had to read it a couple of times myself. It looks to me like this sentence is talking about a musician named "King" (Does B.B. King play guitar?). This musician has a Gibson guitar, which he has named Lucille. He has enough money to get the Gibson company to make the guitar exactly the way he wants it, so it is customized according to his personal plan. It is a black color. Audiences all over the world have been electrified by his performances. "Electrified" in this case means "energized."
Hope that helps. |

Yes, he does! If you don't catch him on tour  , you can see him in diabetes blood testing kit commercials. |
