Gibson Nathaniel Rateliff LG-2 Western

La musique de Nathaniel Rateliff, à la fois en solo et avec les Night Sweats, incorpore un mélange particulièrement attrayant de folk, de soul, d'Americana et de R&B. Sa nouvelle Gibson LG-2 Western est également un mélange de Gibson LG-2 vintage et de Country Western de Nathaniel. Le corps en acajou de plus petite taille et la table en épicéa rouge Adirondack offrent un son approuvé par le vintage. Le manche en acajou d'une longueur de 24 3/4" comporte des incrustations de parallélogramme divisé, et la tête est couronnée d'un logo en bloc Gibson en nacre et d'une incrustation de couronne, un clin d'œil au Country Western, tandis que les mécaniques Gotoh Keystone en nickel et les broches de chevalet noires sont le reflet de la guitare personnelle de Nathaniel. Les commandes de volume et de tonalité de l'électronique LR Baggs® VTC embarquée sont montées au bas de la rosace, selon les préférences de Nathaniel ; la LR Le pick-up Baggs rend le Nathaniel Rateliff LG-2 Western prêt pour la scène, dès sa sortie de l'étui rigide inclus.
