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.
