Shakey Graves breathes fire into his Americana folk-rock with an LH-650 solid archtop cutaway, a carved top LH-309 with a P-90, and lots of percussion. Why does he love The Loar archtops? We asked him backstage: “Electric archtops have the tensile strength I need so I can fingerpick and my hands won’t stick,” Shakey told us.
