Hi Bill,

The G2 is definitely in the "thick tone" category. But despite the thickness, the tone remains very clear, which makes Mike G quite proud.

Very impressive instrument IMHO. Sounds as big as it looks.

Thanks Jeremy. And this tune was meant to be a "filler"...

I spent months on "La traversée" but bothed "Les premiers pas" in just a few hours...

25.7 - 28 in. is one he uses

Thanks!

Mike does call this model the "G2.2 DADGAD" indeed. Not sure about scale length though as I didn't ask for specifics. You could be right although it looked and felt like the offset was about an inch or so.

Thank you.

Any condenser mic will do... I use an AT3035 and a TLM103. Camera is a Fuji X100.

Love it. Thanks, Mau. Greenfield's always seem to have really big trebles.

Beautiful piece Mau.... are you still all set or are you now contemplating a Greenfield too?

Thanks for listening, James.

Mike's guitars all have his signature fat tone -- and the trebles sound huge indeed.

Mike is on top of my list for sure. He's practically a neighbour and his guitars are beautiful.

That being said, my Olson SJs are my main instruments and that's unlikely to change as I expect my third one later this year.

However I could perhaps find some room for a little burst G3 or a classical down the road...
