Introduction

Michael Greenfield has been in the business of making guitars for over 20 years and playing them for twice as long! After servicing and restoring many instruments he decided to setup shop professionally in the 1990s. The experience that he gained through repairing older instruments provided Michael with an insight into what makes great guitars great but also what makes certain guitars fail. After many years of careful study Michael has set out to improve upon the guitar and make instruments that are truly worthy of the concert stage.
