I'm starting to appreciate and prefer the sound of the DADGAD multi-scale.
That'll be me!

Yes I do use DADGAD tuning almost exclusively and if I was ever in the victorious position of ordering a guitar from Greenfield HQ for myself I wouldn't hesitate to ask Michael to make sure the neck was "loaded for bear" in the DADGAD department...

I love the guitar I play (a Kostal MD in The Tree), it's the perfect instrument for me and in terms of tone and response it gives me exactly what I was looking for and so much more. My MD is very much optimised for DADGAD in terms of set-up, voicing and neck carve.

I hope that helps.

PS. Joel, it was a pleasure and a privilege to be part of this build process and I look forward to hearing the voice of this wonderful guitar as it develops in the years to come.
