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 head plate. 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 pre amp 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.
