We wanted to write about this a week ago but were too stressed that a design-blog-reading burglar (well, you never know) would see it and try and break in.
This is a Greenfield G4 acoustic guitar that has been made for the European market by Canadian luthier Michael Greenfield. It’s made of African Blackwood and Adirondack spruce, has a total of three bevels and in case you’re wondering if your screen has gone wonky, don’t - those frets are intentionally fanned.
The reason why we didn’t want to write about it until it left the studio? It’s price. Somewhere north of £20,000 ($32,000).
Anyway, the photos are taken, the guitar has left the building without any cracks, bumps or need to check the contents insurance.
Here’s a Greenfield G4 in the hands of the rather talented Mr Andy McKee. Strangely he seems to be able to play his a little better then we can. More practice needed.
