About this listing
Nathaniel Ratelifffs signature model, featuring Country Western-inspired design elements. This guitar was introduced as the signature model of American singer-songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff. It features an Adirondack red spruce top and mahogany sides and back. Combined with traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing, the design is inspired by vintage Gibson small-body acoustics. The neck features the Historic V profile, combined with a short scale length of 628.65 mm and a nut width of approximately 43.8 mm. The fingerboard is made of Indian rosewood and features split parallelogram inlays. The headstock is adorned with a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and crown inlay, giving it a distinctive look that sets it apart from the standard LG-2. It is equipped with an LR Baggs VTC pickup system. Volume and tone controls are located inside the soundhole, and the signal is output via an endpin jack, making it suitable not only for unamplified playing but also for live performances and recording sessions where an amplifier is used. In addition to the excellent playability afforded by its compact body, this guitar features an attractive combination of Adirondack spruce and mahogany, along with exclusive decorative accents throughout. It is a distinctive Gibson acoustic guitar that combines a vintage-like aesthetic with a practical pickup system. There are scattered scratches and dents, and the instrument shows some signs of wear.
