Veillette Swift Electric Guitar
The Swift is a sleek and elegant take on a classic configuration. Dual
humbucking pickups and a hard-mounted metal bridge, 22-fret neck (24 for
baritones), and dead-simple switching and controls make for a guitar
that feels immediately familiar and comfortable. The contoured body
shape, curved from edge to edge, reduces weight and lets the right arm
cross comfortably over without 'cutting' or discomfort.
In the standard wood combination: poplar body, maple top, and wenge
fingerboard, the Swift is a crisp, responsive, and lively sounding
guitar. Chords remain clear and distinct, and the strong midrange works
beautifully with overdriven amps.
The Swift also retains our classic bolt-on neck joint, using a steel
machine bolt for long, clean sustain, rugged roadworthiness, and easy
maintenance.

Veillette Gryphon High Tuned 12
The newest Journeyman, the Gryphon High-Unison 12-string, has
already made waves as a fascinating new style of guitar with a wide
range of applications. This 18.5" scale guitar, which is tuned almost
one octave higher than a regular guitar, is strung with mandolin-like
unison pairs. These doubled strings provide incredible punch and �cut�,
with amazing and complex high overtones that bring to mind instruments
like the tres, cuatro, and bouzouki.
The Gryphon uses custom LaBella GR-12 strings

- Comments: "I'm in love with the
sound of this little 12-string. I'm
saving my money to get one for
myself. It's so easy to play and it
would be the perfect addition to any
recording project or live concert
setting."
"This is really something new and
exciting. This instrument offers a
wondrous mandolin type of sound only
much more complex and musical, with
wonderful sustain and it can easily
be played by any guitarist. It's a
clever new design from Joe Veillette
who has worked with more star
players than most luthiers, so he
knows what really works for players.
We were floored by the beautiful
voice and how easily it fit in with
guitar, vocals, anything. This is a
new color for your musical palette
and one everyone in the audience
will adore. The construction is
perfect and the DTAR 18 volt pickup
sound incredible. It is very
exciting for us to introduce the
Veillette Gryphon High 12 String."

Veillette Standard Tuned Guitar 12
Standard-tuned 12-string features a 24.1" scale, a change from
the "standard" which makes the instrument fundamentally easier to play.
The reduced string tension results in playability that most 12-string
players would never imagine possible, even with heavier gauge strings.
Intonation in the upper ranges is also dramatically improved over the
average 12.

Veillette Baritone Guitars
A specialty for many years, the Veillette Baritone models have attracted
a long list of adventurous players, including Ani DiFranco, Kaki King,
"Skunk" Baxter, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford, Eddie Van Halen, and many,
many more.
Veillette Baritones are designed for maximum playability and
comfort, and scale lengths are chosen to optimize these factors for each
model. The Baritone 6-string's 27.7" scale has plenty of tension and
length for the fullest possible sound, without excessive, uncomfortable
fret spacing. The Baritone 12-string's 26.1" scale length is a little
shorter, to compensate for the added tension and fretting pressure of
the high octave strings.
The rich low-end voice of these guitars is perfect for solo
artists, singers with a naturally lower range, or any guitarist who
wants huge, full, powerful tone and extended range.

Veillette Nylon String Guitars
Nylon-string guitars address one of the biggest challenges in
live performance - how to get a high quality, responsive amplified sound
from a nylon-string guitar. Feedback, body and fret noise, and reduced
freedom of movement are usually facts of life for nylon-string players.
Standard-tuned Nylon-string guitar resolves these issues,
using the same template as Veillettes steel-string instruments, with
some specifically nylon-string detailing. The flat fingerboard, 2" &
1/16"nut, and 648mm scale are immediately comfortable for the
nylon-string player. Feedback and extraneous noise are things of the
past. Even high-volume performance situations, such as latin bands,
large auditoriums, and other demanding situations are no problem - a
full-range, natural-sounding nylon-string sound can be had at any level.

Veillette Nylon Baritone Guitars
Baritone Nylon-string takes these elements to a new level,
with a rich low range that is at once tight, strong, and clean sounding,
with a 'bounce' that blends perfectly with the upper ranges. Solo
guitarists benefit from the added depth and warmth, and basslines in the
lower range sound big, round, and distinct. The 26.1" scale and custom
strings on this model guarantee clean bass and excellent tension.

Veillette Jazz ArchTop
Featuring semi-hollow construction, 25" scale, wenge/ebony
bridge and dovetail "trapeze" style tailpiece, the "Jazz" archtop is
designed to deliver the "plugged" tone of a fine archtop guitar, without
the feedback and fragility. The 20-fret neck allows the pickup to be
placed in the classic "L-5" position, for a clear, fat sound. The top is
carved Western red cedar, with black binding. The standard Veillette
features like the zero-fret and the incredibly strong machine bolt/tee
nut neck joint combine with a broad range of available pickups.

Veillette Elan ArchTop
The Elan Archtop guitars are a perfect combination of the warm
sweet tone of a fine semi-hollow guitar, with effortless playability,

acoustic presence, and the full-featured electronics make the the Elan
well-suited for any situation.

and the incredibly strong machine bolt/tee nut neck joint, and is
