The rib bevels are very comfy as you would expect. I played Michael's 100th guitar (The Phoenix) at the 12th Fret in TO - 25.78" scale, arm & rib bevels, cedar/mahogany - easily one of the best I've played. The tone and feel were exquisite.
Andy's new Greenfields look and sound incredible, and he is quite smitten with them (I covet his fan fret G4!!). And yes, the talented and lovely Brooke Miller owns several G's - her first was a G4, but she has two G2's now. I've seen and heard both up close and they are superb. They are close the beauty of Brooke herself, but not quite there

Doesn't Greenfield have a lead time of about 3-4 years? Did you get someone's slot, or have you actually been waiting that long?

This has been in the works for some time now. Michael's lead times are well reflective of the quality and demand of this builds. And now, the time is upon me (us)

WOW!
Another very intersting build! I'm a old traditionalist dread/OM kind of guy, but with those woods that G2 is interesting indeed. What kind of voicing are you going with, vintage, modern, Greenfields own? Some people say high end guitars are all bling, and status and overpriced..............and some people know better! Nice stable!

OK, a little off-topic here but....if someone drops out, shouldn't everyone else behind him be moved up? Assuming another person doesn't "buy" the slot directly from the original customer, of course. Sorry, I really don't know much about the custom build process!

Thanks everyone. I'm going with the Adi top on the left, Michael says it taps out better although both are superb.
As for voicing, I think that Greenfields have their own unique, very transparent voicings as the youtube vids suggest. |

The BrRw is very nice certainly and will be a great addition to the Blackbird Ryan and the new Olson (you may be cornering the market on straight grained, quarter sawn BrRw for new guitars) and the Adirondack spruce is very beautiful as well. Good choices!

What a treat to get to check this build and see the magic, I've played a couple of his guitar and I agree, they are amazing... Love your choice of ADI also, many fingerstyle builders been staying away a bit from ADI, seems like also some kind of Euro spruce etc, ADI rocks when built thin and correct! Some of my favorite fingerstyle guitars are ADI...

Fortunately I was able to find one in a Goodall Traditional dread that is pure magic. That one happens to be for sale in our AGF Classifieds now. |

Congrats! Greenfields are beautiful guitars. I've only had the chance to play one, and it was almost a year ago, but what a wonderful guitar...
I look forward to following this thread! Kindly, Danny |
