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.
2011 Veillette Terzilla, Terz Acoustic 12-String Mahogany/Sitka
“I’m proud to have planted a seed with Joe Veillette to make a Terz instrument, and to see it come to fruition here is just wonderful. I’ve long been a fan of Terz guitars as I’m a songwriter and find inspiration in instruments with a unique voice. Tuned low, like a Baritone, or tuned high, like Joe’s Gryphon or this Terzilla, you are instantly inspired to do something new and that’s a powerful thing.” – Paul Heumiller
From the Veillette website: “The Veillette Terz 12 is a powerful and intriguing hybrid of many different concepts. Tuned up to the player’s choice of G or A, and strung with unison pairs, the Terz 12 blends the full, wide sound of a 12-string guitar with the clean shimmer of a mandolin or bouzouki thanks to the Mahogany back and sides and Sitka Spruce top. The sound of the higher tuning and shorter scale (21 7/8″) is powerful and complex – bursting with harmonics and ‘cut’, and perfect for layering over other guitars, doubling, or accompanying singers or instruments with a naturally higher range. With its fast, tight, and defined lower register and thick natural chorus, the Terz 12 also excels for solo fingerstyle playing, particularly for the adventurous guitarist seeking something beyond just another standard 6-string. “

2001 Veillette Gryphon Poplar/Quilted Maple
This is the very first production version of Joe Veillette’s wonderful Gryphon High Tuned 12 String design. Joe personally played this guitar for some time. The Gryphon is uses a 18.5″ scale tuned up to high D to create a wonderful mandolin like chime, only warmer and tuned in the same intervals as guitar, so any guitarist can play it immediately. This Prototype is a solid body version made from Poplar with a Quilted Maple top and matching headplate. A maple neck fitted with a Wenge Fingerboard that matches the Wenge Bridge/tailpiece. The single cutaway allows full access to the highest frets. An Alvarez P.V. pickup system provides separate saddle elements and an onboard preamp with contour and 3 Band EQ. This is a superb gigging Gryphon and has the history of being first ever Gryphon, a design we feel is one of the most exciting and fresh in years.
2006 Veillette Gryphon Mahogany/Sitka
This early Veillette Gryphon is the sister guitar to Dave Mathew’s second Gryphon. Made at the same time from same materials.
