Default Sold Gibson LG-2 Western Nathaniel Rateliff - Mint

Greetings. Bought this from Wilcutt new and only been played for about 30 mins. It's THE BEST small body guitar I've ever played (and i've played quite a few) It's got tons of power with the adirondack top and super easy to play. It also has a nice LR Baggs VTC factory installed pickup. I think I'm finally coming to the realization that I'm a dreadnought guy even though I'm getting older and find the smaller ones easier to maneuver These are $3400 + tax
My loss is your gain Save yourself over $500 with tax - sold !
Thanks for taking a peek Kind Regards, Sully

From Gibson:
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 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.

Just got an LG-2 Western and they are the real deal! The Adirondack top gives it a nice punch that makes it perfect for strumming or finger style. There don’t seem to be a ton of these out in the market either so this is a great chance to pick one up. Best to you on the sale.

I'd love to have one of these. I had an American Eagle LG-2 a few years ago, this one is incredible. Good luck on your sale.

Great looking LG-2! These are a great upgrade from the standard both in build and aesthetics.
