News from our Shop Get the first look at the latest new instruments, works-in-progress, artist updates, and other Veillette news! A new face and a new sound for our Gryphon! February 3, 2010 We are very proud to introduce the Oval-Hole Gryphon!
This piece, the first of its kind, is destined for Terra Guitars: Based on our Oval-Hole Studio shape, this Gryphon doesn't just look different - it has a very different voice from our original 'moon-hole' design. The low end is wider and more 'open' sounding, with a little more volume and 'chop' to the rhythm sound. The high end trades away a little sparkle in exchange for a meatier midrange and stronger attack. We are thrilled with how this turned out, and there will be more coming! We're also very pleased to be expanding our range of available sounds and options, to really accommodate the needs of all our players. There's more exciting news coming along - it's going to be a good year!
Some very exciting new Specials! January 22, 2010 Hi everyone, Just a quick note this week, to mention that we just posted a couple of very cool new instruments on the "Specials" page.
Both are Standard 12-strings, and together they represent 13 years of evolution of Joe's electric 12-string design. We'll be doing a roundup of NAMM news and photos soon, but until then we'd like to thank all the players, dealers, and fans who came by the booth and made it a great show!
The Alpha Family January 8, 2010 With NAMM on the way, here's a preview some of our Alphas that will be out there with us. Come see us at Booth 5276
From left to right, we have: These are loaded with Duncan Vintage Rails pickups and our own crystal piezo, blended through a custom Eclipse preamp. Poplar bodies, maple necks, wenge fingerboards, and a simple satin finish round out the package. These guitars are all about function - maximum tonal possibilities, outstanding playability and comfort, and no frills - just some of the best-sounding working guitars you'll ever come across.
Acoustic Guitar reviews our Parlor 14" 6-string! November 25, 2009 This month's issue of Acoustic Guitar features a great review of one of our newest models, the Parlor 14" 6-string.
Writer Charles Saufley and editor Teja Gerken both had very nice things to say about this piece, praising its "very vocal and harmonic-rich tonal palette", as well as its "concise fundamental tones and a subtle overtone glow". Read it all, and watch a great video of Teja playing the guitar here: http://www.acousticguitar.com/article/default.aspx?articleid=24751 Pick up an issue on the newsstand too for more great articles and reviews. Many thanks to Acoustic Guitar! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
Juliet the Cat promoted to Art Director November 25, 2009
In the midst of a photo shoot, Juliet decided this bass needed some company. The self-timer was already counting down...
Some old friends and some new guitars... October 28, 2009 A quick snapshot from last weekend's Woodstock Invitational guitar show...
From left to right: For those who don't know - John Sebastian is a legend as a solo guitarist and songwriter, and as the leader of the Lovin' Spoonful. Larry Campbell is one of the industry's greatest multi-instrumental 'secret weapons'. After playing lead guitar for Bob Dylan for about a decade, Larry is now working closely with The Band's Levon Helm and many others. These two guys are among the most satisfying and tasteful musicians you'll ever hear. Hearing them playing some sweet Veillette acoustics makes it that much better.
