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.

While instruments in production are being worked on, we assemble all the hardware and small parts in these boxes in our setup area. The plan is to have everything we need when the instrument comes back from finish. It’s an interesting peek into what's going on this week in the shop. Looking at this week's array, we marvel at how fortunate we are to be building instruments for Slash, Steve Miller, and Dave Matthews (DMB) along with great stores Alto Music (NY) and TrueTone (Santa Monica) in the bunch.
