BUILD THREAD: Greenfield G2
Hi Gang -
Several inquiring minds want to know so here are the specs and details around my forthcoming Greenfield. Here are a sample of Michael's prior G2's to give the idea of what she'll look like: How do Greenfield guitars sound? Well the ones I've played kinda sound like this (really amazing and resonant guitars as you can get a sense of in these vids): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUwYV...5AA324&index=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EjmH...5AA324&index=4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ur0f...5AA324&index=0 Will post more pix as she gets underway shortly after the Montreal Guitar Expo where Michael will be exhibiting. Enjoy! Last edited by 690MBCOMMANDO; 09-19-2009 at 06:27 PM. |

That BRW back set has some real character - very nice. I love the contrasting dark and light.
Congrats and thanks much for posting. This will be fun! Phil

I just love how his bevel, rosette and impedance matched bridge tie in together visually. Quote:

Great stuff. Our Macassar ebony/lutz G4 Fan-fret just arrived. Once again the ceiling has become the floor. It's incredible!

Awesome Michael - the G4 sounds incredible. Haven't been able to play one yet but the Andy Mckee clips sound killer! Last edited by 690MBCOMMANDO; 06-17-2009 at 06:20 AM. |

Ditto on that. So many "Braz" guitars these days seem to be full of whirls, and swirls, and sapwood...stump wood...rift sawn. I am just way too "symmetrical" to go for the "Braz-on-LSD" look. Well-quartered, bookmatched would be my choice, and only choice. I know any number of builders here have said the wild-figured stuff *may* be just as stable-but I am just not convinced. If I were to pay that kind of upcharge, I'd want it to look just like these pix.

Here's a picture of the rib bevel....very cool and tastefully executed and flows well with the rest of the guitar.....

Very nice! I like the look of that braz, nice a even, just the way it should be.
So since we have alot of talk about nut widths, what kind of neck profile are you going to have on this one? Slim V or slight C shape? or something different? |

It'll be a slight C shape. Slightly thicker than a Ryan or Olson but a hair thinner than a Goodall.
