2007 Greenfield G4, Koa/Sitka Spruce
Michael Greenfield’s guitars have been the choice for the likes of Andy McKee, Adam Miller, Pierre Bensusan, Brooke Miller, Charlie Hunter and Paul Stanley to name a few. This 2007 G4 clearly shows why these artists chose Greenfield. Power, clarity and sonority are all aplenty within this Koa and Sitka powerhouse. Aside from having gorgeously figured Koa, this instrument is sporting some rather delightful creature comforts i.e beveled armrest, and a soundport. If you’re looking for an instrument that will provide unlimited amounts of inspiration and prove to be a sound investment, this is your axe! What more can we say?

If Michael Greenfield has ever built a dud, we haven’t seen it. Quite the opposite, in fact. We haven’t seen a Greenfield that didn’t knock us out right out the gate. Take this 2018 G1 as a great example. Effortless playability, a voice with sweetness and riches and a slight midrange bump that makes for an engrossing, complete sound–the best tonewoods you’re like to find on a modern build–ergonomic features to maximize player comfort. This G1 does it all. The back and sides are Mike’s reserve grade, 80-year-old Cocobolo, here paired with an Adirondack Spruce top, Honduran Mahogany neck, and a Laskin-inspired arm bevel. Additional appointments include a heel “swoosh” carve, florentine cutaway, clear pickguard, and custom splatter-style Calton flight case.

Another work of functional art from Michael Greenfield. We adore every Greenfield guitar we’ve had the honor of playing; Michael’s signature is flawless construction methods and a vigorous, comprehensive, enveloping tone. This small body G3.2.2 model from 2019 brings all of that in a petite package, and here further outfitted with a 26-25” multiscale setup, African Blackwood body, and Alpine Moonspruce top. Rodgers tuners, arm bevel and Michael’s “Palm-A-Way” bevel to boot. Elevated fingerboard, trademark pinless bridge, and all wrapped up in a bombproof MainStage flight case.

Bigleaf Maple body, European Spruce top, 15 inches across the lower bout and rigged with a Kent Armstrong humbucker–this 2007 Greenfield Archtop is a sight to see. In hand, the smaller body feels extra comfortable; you can really snug up with this one in your arms. Ebony pickguard, bridge, and tailpiece provide some dark contrast to the honey amber hues present elsewhere. Michael has only ever offered a small handful of archtops–this is only the third we’ve ever seen–and we’re proud to offer this one to you now.

Greenfields are a category all their own. Michael has such a consistent touch with all his instruments; each one has great string-to-string balance, mixes up well, with equal richness and clarity to individual notes. And in 2011 the master outdid himself yet again with this G1. Upgraded with heirloom grade Brazilian Rosewood that’s over 200 years old, plus a 30-year-old German Moonspruce top–what more could a modern musician ask for? Why not a Laskin-style arm bevel and florentine cutaway, as well as a heel swoosh carved heel for lefthand comfort. The Brazilian Rosewood is so unique on this G1, it was salvaged from a center beam in Brazil and is midnight-dark with black-red warmth right in the center. Coincidentally, the voice has that in spades too with a rich, rich, rich midrange to pair up glass trebles and articulate bass.
This is a lifetime kind of instrument: the Greenfield G1.

A complete and balanced meal. This 2019 Greenfield G2 is appetizer, main course, dessert, and half the bar to boot. Such a sweet, rich, expressive creature! Mike finished this one in 2019, so it’s close to new and still looking the part. 80-year-old Cocobolo Rosewood back and sides are paired with an Alpine Moonspruce top, plus Greenfield’s DADGAD multiscale setup (26.25-25.5”); upgraded silver Rodgers tuners; combo arm bevel and palm away bevel. Gold EVO frets ensure many more moons of music before you’ll need to worry about a fret dress, and with Mike’s surgically precise fit/finish and design this G2 performs like a well-oiled machine. Wrap this beauty up in a custom splatter paint jobbed Main Stage flight case, and you’ve got an heirloom creation for a lifetime’s inspiration.

Quick, crisp, expressive, and energetic. These are the first words that come to mind the moment after the first notes fade away, which admittingly is a loooong moment. This 2019 GF model from Michael Greenfield is outfitted with Wenge back and sides and Moonspruce on top, plus his glassy setup and play feel and a florentine cutaway. Fit and finish is flawless throughout, and gold Gotoh tuners at the headstock pair up with a spalted rosette and Ebony bindings for a gorgeous look. To our ears, the Wenge body lends an evenness and clarity to the voice that the Moonspruce amplifies, giving the guitar smooth depth and lively dynamic range. Well cared for, this 2019 GF is in great playing shape; oh so ready for more action.

Why limit yourself to a measly six strings? When a 7-string Greenfield G1 sounds oh so good. a multiscale setup of 27 inches to 25 gives you an immense range to cook up new musical ideas, and Mike’s effortless playability makes this ‘hoss oh so easy to navigate. Florentine cutaway for upper fret access, a subtle heel swoosh carve to make those top frets even easier to reach, and an arm bevel for creature comfort. Reserve Grade Figured Ziricote back and sides offer a smooth, balanced flavor to the extended range of this 2017 G1, while stiff Adirondack Spruce on top keeps projection crisp and articulate, all the way from the high e to that fierce low B.
A new definition for the term “powerhouse.”Other keywords: Michael Greenfield, 278, spanish cedar, gotoh, accord, adriondack, tone halo

This guitar took center stage the second we opened the MainStage case. I mean, c’mon, with a Michael Greenfield G2 from 2020 we expected no less! Michael’s handwork is flawless, and his instruments showcase it to perfection. The curves of this G2 are inviting, with a Florentine Cutaway and Laskin-style arm bevel on top, and the body woods both come from Greenfield’s private reserve tonewood treasure trove. This Brazilian Rosewood is chocolate-dark and deceptively straight-grained. We’d have thought we were looking at an instrument from the 20s were it not for the pinless bridge, EVO frets, carved heel swoosh on the Honduran Mahogany neck—well, maybe we wouldn’t mistake it for a prewar Martin after all. On top Michael voiced a reserve set of Alpine Moonspruce for maximum balance, elegance, and power. This G2 excels as a fingerstyle guitar. It also excels with a pick. The tone ties bass, mids, and trebles together in a balanced chord that’s characterized by clear note definition and sustain.
A piece of functional art, built for longevity. This is a lifetime, heirloom Greenfield G2.Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, guitarbuilding, fingerpicking, canadian guitar, modern guitar, bespoke guitar, klein, 318

We’ve played a number of Greenfields over the years, and have always been impressed by the power, dynamic range, and beauty of his builds. And here we’ve got just such a build from 2016 with some incredible tonewoods! “Fallen Giant” Guatemalan Mahogany back and sides adds clarity and liveliness to the bass, but with an Alpine Moonspruce top Michael pulls out sweet, sweet overtones in the treble register and some sumptuously colorful mids. Michael manages to thread the needle between dry and juicy, giving this G2 a wiiiide dynamic range for both fingers and picks. A 25.78” scale means you can tune down into D or C and still get good snap and string feel. A Laskin-style arm bevel and “heel swoosh” neck heel are the creature comforts of choice here, plus Michael’s silk-smooth setup for effortless playability.

This force of nature came in—and went right back out the door to its happy new home. We’re sad to see it go, but we know it’ll be cherished for years to come.
We love Michael Greenfield’s work, hands down. His stated goal in voicing a guitar is for “FAT tone,” and we’re here to tell you, he nails it every time. This is his biggest model (if you don’t count his Harp Guitar of course), the G4.2, with his DADGAD fan fret spread at 26.25-25.5”, Laskin-style rib and arm bevels, and Michael’s Palm-A-Way cutaway alternative at the upper bout. An Adirondack Spruce top pairs with African Blackwood (both from Michael’s reserve stash) for a balance of thunderclaps and precision. This guitar has gears, as Paul would say. The multiscale setup lends itself handsomely to DADGAD, of course, but we were simply in awe of the responsiveness and projection when playing down in C9 territory. It’s really a work of functional art that fills the room and gives meaning to the phrase “lost track of time.”Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, guitarbuilding, fingerpicking, canadian guitar, modern guitar, bespoke guitar

Crisp and clear, with power and drive—this 2018 GF from Michael Greenfield is the image of the modern flattop. This is not your battle scarred Dreadnought from the 70s, this beauty is a sleek, well-oiled machine. Michael is one of our favorite builders, hands down, and we’re not alone. Just ask the likes of Andy McKee, Pipo Romero, and Brooke Miller.
At first glance, we’re drawn to the generous curves of the bouts, and Michael’s flawless fit & finish. Tightly figured Mahogany back and sides pairs up with Swiss Moonspruce on top for a dry, crisp clarity that’s especially lovely for those faster pickers out there; note decay is quick, so they don’t muddle into one another as you rattle out a stream of 1/16ths. The bass register is a lively one for thumbpicks, nail, and pads. We loved playing this one down in D tunings; with a 25 5/8” scale length, this Greenfield GF maintains a good, snappy string feel at lowered tunings.
This is the kind of guitar for which even flubbed notes sound good. Please, take this one of our hands before one of us decides to take it home for ourselves!Other keywords: lutherie, luthier, guitarbuilding, fingerpicking, canadian guitar, modern guitar, bespoke guitar

We’ve got a new miracle child in the shop today, folks: a 2015 Greenfield G2. Hot off the presses, this beastly fierce guitar is already an old hand belting out tunes with Greenfield’s trademark sound: rich and resounding, huge and vocal. Featuring a gorgeously dark set of Indian Rosewood for the back, sides, and headstock backplate, and a creamy European Spruce top, the G2 has a dark and expressive fundamental with otherworldly sustain.Trebles which shimmer like sunlight over water, a low E string muscular and confident, a setup like glass for effortless playability–these are industry standards in Michael Greenfield’s work, and this G2 has got them all in spades. With the addition of an arm rest bevel, Florentine cutaway, and heel block “swoop,” this G2 is even easier to play, and responds beautifully to both an aggressive or delicate attack. It excels in DADGAD, where the depth and scope of the tuning work wonders on the European Spruce top, or in Standard, where the low-end develops an articulate snap. Exhibiting excellent pianistic seperation for fingerstyle, and great note presence and attack for flatpicked passages, there’s little this G2 can’t accomplish. Sealed in an Accord flight case for reliable protection, you won’t ever have to worry about the eggs cracking in this carton.

Michael, Michael, Michael, you’ve done it again. This 2018 Greenfield G2 is proof of the golden era of modern lutherie: flawlessly built, resonant to a T, effortlessly playable. This is a well-oiled machine for fingerstyle, strumming, whatsoever your guitar heart desires. African Blackwood back and sides pair up with an Alpine Moonspruce top, arm bevel, and florentine cutaway. EVO frets for longevity, 25 3/4” scale for a crisp, defined bass response that carries right on down to C# without batting an eye. It’s just incredible. The voice is characterized by the massive, juicy, enveloping flavors that we’ve come to expect from Michael Greenfield: individual notes are very, very strong—chords ring out like entire instruments unto themselves. We cannot recommend this G2 more highly.

While playing music professionally in the 1970s, I began setting up and repairing electric guitars. By the 1990s, this evolved into a career repairing and restoring vintage and antique guitars. Having had the opportunity to examine so many of those iconic pre-war and early 20th century instruments was an invaluable education. I was able to examine, measure, play and HEAR those wonderful guitars!! It also pointed out the issues that typically need service down the road, which I attempt to engineer out of my own instruments. Maintaining the guitars of so many musicians nurtured my understanding of how to address the needs of players with varied repertoire, styles and musical needs. I bring all of this to my craft and my current work. My goal is that you are not just satisfied but THRILLED with your new guitar.
