From the man himself: “My name is Michael Greenfield and I am passionate about tone. Great tone. FAT tone. I believe in squeezing every last molecule of tone out of my guitars.” Michael, we believe it. This practically new 2017 C1 Classical is a heady brew of energetic trebles and chocolaty rich bass notes—and this Greenfield still has more waking up to do. Indian Rosewood and Alpine Moonspruce never looked so good. Not only has Michael managed to build a guitar that’s complex and dynamic right off the bench, he’s done so with a number of creature comforts to keep the modern player happy.
Ebony armrest, elevated fingerboard, 12-pin bridge, and the pièce de résistance: a fully adjustable neck that can be tweaked on the fly, at full tension. All it takes is one twist of a hex wrench at the center of the fretboard extension and the action will glide up or down as needed. The neck carve retains the traditional Classical D shape, but Michael’s added some contemporary curves to the cheeks that are easy on the hands, and very familiar to a steel string player. Simply put, this Greenfield C1 means business. By the sounds of it, business is good.
