This small instrument has a unique tone with a natural chorus effect that recalls mandolin, bouzouki or the high strings of a 12-string guitar. Designed by Joe Veillette, the Gryphon has a short 18 1\/8th-inch scale length and twelve strings that are tuned in six unison pairs. The Gryphon is designed for D tuning, basically the equivalent of capoing at the 10th fret of a guitar in standard tuning. When played with a flatpick, it’s easy to play mandolin-style parts and when fingerpicked it has a lovely, chiming bell-like sonority. You can put a capo on the second fret, which puts it a full ocate above standard tuning, making it perfect for doubling or layering parts in the studio or in jam sessions.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Avante Gryphon has a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides. The fretboard and bridge are rosewood and the neck is mahogany. It’s fitted with a piezo pickup with volume and tone controls that are adjustable through the soundhole. The nut measures 1 15\/16” , a comfortable width for playing the doubled strings. The Gryphon is light-weight and it’s well balanced in your lap or on a strap. Includes a hardshell case.","brand":"Veillette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43743795511495,"sku":"VEIAG12NAT-2050","price":1449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1701031.jpg?v=1781331312","url":"https:\/\/www.gryphonstrings.com\/products\/veillette-avante-gryphon-12-string-acoustic-electric-guitar-new-16724","provider":"Gryphon Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
