Gage is coming to B.I.G. next Friday, a week from today. I will be able to meet him and try out his guitars. I can report back on my experience but that is generally worthless as what I love may not be what you love. I have heard nothing but great things about Halland guitars though.

There's definitely been some discussions on whether or not Hallands sound like Greenfields. I have no doubt that Gage's instruments are amazing. I've only seen and heard great things about them. If you wouldn't mind maybe you could ask Gage if he takes voicing/tonal inspirations from Greenfield.

At the price range you are exploring, taking a trip to a shop with a lot of high end choices might be in order. You'll likely find something many thousands less that personally really speaks to you, and get a mini guitar player holiday.

Having had this discussion with him recently, I can tell you he has departed from Greenfield’s voicing style. I’ve only played one Greenfield and one Halland, but they were pretty different. Granted they were different body shapes and woods, but they didn’t feel like they shared any common ancestry.

Update to the update! So after not being able to agree on a price with the GF at TNAG I stumbled upon another GF for sale at StayGoldGuitars from Shawn. I reached out expressing my interest and Shawn was able to give me an unbelievable deal! Long story short I am now the happy new owner of a Greenfield GF! It'll be arriving later next week. It was short but crazy ride in it's own way.

Congratulations, great news . And now I know about another dealer that offers good guitars at good prices. I had not heard of StayGold before; they look like people to watch.

Hey all hopefully these pictures show up. This beauty arrived over a week ago and I've been loving it. I've been told it's a slightly older model made in 2013 or so with EIR and Sitka Spruce. Still has that amazing Greenfield tone and clarity to it. For those that are curious I got it for under half the price of a new one and it's still in amazing condition!

I played my first Greenfield the other day and it was every bit as amazing as I hoped it would be. Michael knows tone…
