This Sitka/mahogany Merlin is loud and sweet. Tuned an octave above standard tuning. This model has become a real favorite for studio players, working musicians, and anyone looking for a real alternative to mandolins without the learning curve or the tight fingerboard spacing

Here are three of the best players we know, and two of our coolest instruments:

Christie Lenee, Vickie Genfan and Kaki King with an Avante Gryphon and a Woodstock-built Veillette Gryphon.

If you had one of these, you might play as well as they do. No guarantees, of course, but you could have a great time trying!

We've got Avantes, including afffordable "B"-stocks, or you can order something from the custom shop.

We had a great visit with Steve Miller yesterday. He picked up his new 6/12 doubleneck Swift (more on that later), and we did some tweaking

on a few of his Martins, Strats and Veillettes. It’s always great seeing him! That’s Jimmy, Joe and Rowan behind Steve.

Vince Gill playing the Avante Elan 12 string. It's a shapely cousin of our Gryphon D to D guitars. Tuned up to B to B or A to A in unison pairs like a capo on the seventh or fifth fret. With a 20.2” scale and a lower bout under 13”, it is a compact guitar with a big sound. Players like Vince Gill, Al Di Meola, and Dave Matthews appreciate their unique tonality and playability. Available and ready to ship. Call us at 845-679-6154

A great video of Steve Miller playing his Veillette Terz 12 string (tuned A to A) with Marty Stuart, blending nicely with the rest of the band. Steve also uses his Terz with his band and for solo performances.To see the rest of the video, click this link  https://youtu.be/gt78UQAkifE and go to our YouTube channel.

We have a Terz 12 string in the works which will be available in a few weeks. Mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck, and Sitka spruce top, finished in Tobacco Burst.
