2006 Veillette Gryphon, Koa/Sitka
Over the years Joe Veillette has worked for a long list of star clients which include the likes of Dave Matthews, Jorma Kaukonen, David Lindley, Kaki King, Ani DiFranco and many others. Often his work included designing unique instruments to fit the needs of pro musicians. One of our alltime favorite designs of his is this Gryphon high-tuned 12 string. The Gryphon is a 18.5″ scale 12 string guitar tuned up to high D, an octave below normal guitar tuning. This gives the Gryphon a mandolin-like sound, though much more colorful and musical, yet it can be played like a regular guitar. Our first reaction was utter amazement at the lush tone and we can see this being extremely useful in many settings from stage to recording. This beauty is Koa and Sitka Spruce.

To all of our loving clients who have asked us, “If I buy this one, will I sound like Al?” this Weber Beartooth A Style Mandolin is about as close as we can get you to that lofty ideal – After all, it is Al’s personal mandolin! This one is in gorgeous Flamed Maple and a hand graduated and tuned Spruce top that plays like a dream. The setup is perfect and the tone is woody and sweet, dense and rich all at once. With its chop and strength, it’s an incredibly versatile instrument and fits well for anything from Bluegrass to Celtic, or pretty much anything Al would play! Be sure and call us up quick before it’s gone…
Add to CompareNew Lambe A Style with F Holes Figured Maple/Sitka
This is an A style Mandolin in Sitka Spruce and Flamed Maple from luthier Wes Lambe. Wes is a newcomer to us here at Dream Guitars and he has set himself a high standard with everything we have seen. The build quality and voicing on this mando are fantastic – it has a great “chop” but also a warmth and charisma that we don’t often find in A styles. Volume is something you won’t have to worry about with this mandolin, you can play it sweet and soft or really dig into it if you are in a bluegrass jam.
