The Most Valuable Woods on Earth With Luthier Michael Greenfield

April 7, 2024

Michael Greenfield is an extraordinary human being who creates extraordinary guitars. A dear friend since our first meeting at the Montreal Guitar Show in 2009 Michael has been a guide and confidante in the fascinating and often bewildering world of the luthier-made guitar. With a client list that includes rock and roll royalty such as Keith Richards and Paul Stanley as well as fingerstyle visionary Andy McKee - Greenfield guitars have a hard-earned reputation as some of the finest acoustic instruments in the world. With and eye for detail and exacting standards that come a previous background in Michelin star hospitality Michael has a deep understanding of the materials he uses to create his guitars - who better to look at some of the most valuable woods (don’t say tone woods) on earth. Join us as we explore Brazilian rosewood, quilted mahogany from The Tree, Pernambuco and moon-harvested Swiss Spruce in this first episode of season 2 of Luthier Stories by Michael Watts.
