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.”

Michael Greenfield is not only one of the nicest guys in the business, but he’s absolutely one of the most talented builders. DADGAD guitar that can do everything. You can plan any tuning including standard depending on the string gauges, and you’ll be happy everywhere you go. The notes are fat and rich and the base is cavernous. Stunning and inspiring. | Scale Length | 25.5 in - 26.25 in |
