Music

Nathaniel Rateliff's music, both solo and with the Night Sweats, incorporates a uniquely appealing blend of folk, soul, Americana, and R&B. His new Gibson LG-2 Western is also a blend of Nathaniel's own vintage Gibson LG-2 and Country Western. The smaller-sized mahogany body and Adirondack red spruce top deliver a vintage-approved tone. The 24 3/4" scale-length bound mahogany neck features split parallelogram inlays, and the headstock is crowned with a mother-of-pearl Gibson block logo and Crown inlay, a nod to the Country Western, while the nickel Gotoh Keystone tuners and black bridge pins are reflections of Nathaniel's personal guitar. The volume and tone controls of the onboard LR Baggs VTC electronics are mounted at the bottom of the soundhole, per Nathaniel's preferences; the LR Baggs pickup makes the Nathaniel Rateliff LG-2 Western stage-ready, right out of the included hardshell case.Model: Nathaniel Rateliff LG-2 WesternFinish Color: Vintage SunburstFinish Type: Gloss Nitrocellulose LacquerBracing: Traditional Hand-Scalloped X-BracingTop Wood: Solid Adirondack Red SpruceBack & Sides Wood: Solid MahoganyNeck Wood: MahoganyNeck Joint: Compound Dovetail Secured with Hot Hide GlueNeck Shape: Historic VNeck Dimensions: .890 1st - .960 9thFingerboard: Indian RosewoodFingerboard Inlays: Pearloid Split ParallelogramScale Length: 24.75"Width at Nut: 1.725"Nut Material: BoneBinding: Multi-ply Top, Single-ply Back and FingerboardElectronics: LR Baggs VTCControls: Volume and Tone Controls in SoundholeBridge: Rectangular with Closed SlotSaddle: BoneHardware: NickelTuners: Gotoh KeystoneCase: Gibson Hardshell (388DRW)COA: Included
