Greenfield Instruments
SOLD 2005 Greenfield G3- We've been anxiously awaiting this, our first, Greenfield guitar.

  • Comments: "Michael Greenfield's unique designs feature such tone enhancing ideas as radial back bracing, reverse spanish cedar kerfing, parabolic soundboard and a Klein inspired impedance matching "string through" bridge. Each of these design points adds real value to the mix and adds up to something special when you play the guitar. This instrument is energetic, responsive and articulate. It has a great focus and clarity accented with warmth and richness. The Lacewood is eye-catching for sure and the rosette is elegant and classy. Every time I look at this guitar I find another detail that is mind blowing. We're excited to have our first of many Greenfields."– Paul H.
