How does Gibson's Custom Shop Lucille Legacy compare to the REAL Lucille? (I've played B.B. King's)

Gibson's Custom Shop B.B. King Lucille Legacy hits all the right notes. From tuners to tailpiece, the Custom Shop was on top of its game with this guitar.  The neck and ebony fretboard have the immediate feel of a guitar that's very special. The tone? It's a tone you've heard on hundreds of classic blues recordings. It's B.B. King's tone. 
Larry spent five days with B.B. back in '87 and got to play Lucille several times. How well does he think the Custom Shop did at reproducing it?
Custombucker pickups, bumblebee tone caps, TP-6 tailpiece all come together to give a one-of-a-kind playing experience. The thrill is here.
