Product Fundamentals
- <p>The Rathbone No.2 Orchestra Model is a beautifully crafted electro acoustic guitar inspired by the classic OM body shape that helped define the modern steel string acoustic guitar. Originally designed to provide greater projection and tonal clarity for musicians moving away from banjos in dance orchestras, the Orchestra Model remains one of the most versatile and balanced acoustic guitar designs ever created.</p> <p>Combining an all mahogany construction with a comfortable Orchestra Model body and onboard electronics, the Rathbone No.2 delivers warm, expressive tone with impressive projection, dynamic response and excellent playability for both fingerstyle players and strummers alike.</p> Main Features <ul> <li>Classic Orchestra Model body shape</li> <li>Solid mahogany top for warm, resonant tone</li> <li>Sapele mahogany back and sides</li> <li>Mahogany neck with comfortable modern scale length</li> <li>Rosewood fretboard and bridge</li> <li>Bone nut and saddle for enhanced sustain and tuning stability</li> <li>Built in 3 band EQ preamp with onboard tuner</li> <li>Open gear chrome machine heads</li> <li>Gloss lacquer finish</li> <li>Fitted with D'Addario EXP-16 strings</li> </ul> Classic Orchestra Model Design <p>The Orchestra Model body shape has become one of the most respected acoustic guitar formats thanks to its balanced tone, comfortable size and excellent projection. The Rathbone No.2 captures the spirit of these early designs while offering the playability and response modern players expect.</p> <p>Its compact yet highly responsive body delivers impressive volume and clarity without the bulk of a larger dreadnought style guitar, making it ideal for home playing, recording, live performance and songwriting.</p> Warm And Expressive All Mahogany Tone <p>Featuring a solid mahogany top paired with sapele mahogany back and sides, the Rathbone No.2 produces a warm, vocal and richly detailed acoustic tone. The all mahogany construction enhances midrange presence and delivers a punchy, focused sound with excellent dynamic response.</p> <p>The longer 25.5 inch scale length increases string tension slightly compared to shorter scale guitars, helping produce greater projection, stronger articulation and enhanced tonal punch.</p> Comfortable Modern Playability <p>The neck joins the body at the 14th fret, giving the Rathbone No.2 a familiar modern playing feel while maintaining the classic OM body proportions. The comfortable neck profile, smooth rosewood fretboard and carefully balanced body design make this guitar ideal for extended playing sessions.</p> <p>Whether you’re fingerpicking intricate arrangements or strumming full chords, the Rathbone No.2 responds with clarity, warmth and impressive articulation.</p> Ready For Stage And Studio <p>Equipped with a built in 3 band EQ preamp and onboard tuner, the Rathbone No.2 is ready for amplified performance straight out of the box. Shape your tone easily for live performance or recording while maintaining the guitar’s natural acoustic character.</p> Specifications Body &
