Default SOLD 2016 Greenfield G1 moon spruce Malaysian blackwood

Here is the mother-load from Greenfield guitars. I can tell you this is one of the best acoustics I have played and it pains me to let it go. This is a 2016 G1 dadgad fan-fret model and its a replica of the guitar he built for Tony McManus. I have attached a copy of the spec sheet so you can see all the options on this baby. Moon Spruce top and Malaysian blackwood back and sides. This is his most popular wood combo and its in near mint condition. Try to find a newer Greenfield like this. They don’t come up for sale often. The craftmenship is impeccable. It's very open and has breathtaking overtones that add a real lush character. I love how the notes sustain and sustain.
A new one like this would cost you about $24,500 with a long wait. This is a special guitar for a couple of reason besides the amazing tone and playability. It was used on Al Petteways recent CD “The Collectors Passion”. Al used it on 2 cuts(Rebeccas Waltz and Spindrift) which should tell you a lot about what he thought about this guitar. You can stream these tracks on iTunes or spotify and I will include a new sealed CD to the lucky buyer.

This guitar also shows up in Michaels video Making A guitar that’s on YouTube.
He was just finishing up this guitar when the video was shot so you can see it being set up right at he end.

The only modification to the guitar is the addition of a K&k pickup. Very non-invasive and did not change the acoustic tone . Sounds amazing plugged in by the way.
A few standard measurements:

Scale length 25.4’’
Body length 19.3/8’’
Lower bout 15.375’’
Upper bout 11.5’’
Depth 4.375’’

Selling for $19750 plus shipping and any fees.

Default 2016 Greeenfield G1 fan

By the way, when Al Petteway did his recent cd, his two favorites guitars on the recording were the Traugott bk fan fret and this Greeenfield!

so it will be a keeper for someone

I own a 2015 G1 very similar to this. After you play one of these you will look at every other guitar differently. I couldn't stop with one. I have a second Greenfield (G3) on order. GLWS.

Out of curiosity, what are the scale lengths?

Thanks,

Somebody please buy this masterpiece. You have no idea what you are missing until you play the first note.

What a magnificent guitar...pure sonic bliss! I've recently commissioned a Greenfield, so this one isn't in the cards for me; but, whoever purchases this beautiful instrument is a one lucky soul indeed...GLWS!
