A new twist on the Gryphon...
June 4, 2010

Since Joe just can't stop thinking of new and different things to try, this was really just a matter of time...

Veillette Nylon String Gryphon

This is our first take on a Nylon-string Gryphon!

With the same scale as the regular steel-string Gryphon  (if you could call such a thing 'regular'), this Nylon-string has a fascinating blend of Gryphon sparkle with the warmth and smoothness of a classical guitar - a very unique voice.  Classical pieces played on its full-width neck will sound unlike anything you've ever heard before - and the short scale means long intervals can be reached incredibly easily.
