Joe Veillette builds a Baritone 12 String that is easy to play and offers up a full voice. The Mahogany and Sitka body has generous bass response and great clarity. It employs a zero fret that makes the action nice and easy in the first position. The sloped treble shoulder allows good access to the high frets and the pickup sounds amazing. With it's 26" scale you can move between many tunings from Standard, D whole step down, to C and even B tunings. Great fun.

Player Reviews:
"Joe Veillette builds a superb baritone 12 with tone and feel far beyond it's price tag. This is a satisfying instrument that is sure to inspire moods and songs you might not otherwise find. I love baritones and I've seen many players rejuvenated by exploring their beautiful voice." - Paul Heumiller
"Great and unique Baritone sound. It is very easy to play and has a nice balanced voice." - Al Petteway
"These Veillette 12-strings are always a blast to play, and this baritone immediately took me in a few new directions. Playability on this one is excellent, and I particularly like the clarity in the bass and mid frequencies. Not too boomy -- just right. Great fun." - Al Schlimm
