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.

Like all of Michael's guitars, this one has full and rich string energy. Being a smaller body design, I hear more crisp top end that works really well for fingerstyle. 
This one has the organic quality of opening up and breathing after a few minutes' play time. Really makes you appreciate how dynamically Mike voiced this G1. Glassy sustain, and an easy kind of balance between the strings that makes fingerstyle sing oh so well. | Scale Length | 25.25 in |
