Although it's the smallest acoustic Joe Veillete makes (and one of the smallest we've seen), the Acoustic Gryphon is no decorative bauble. Tuned to high D (2 frets lower than the 12th fret of a standard guitar) and tuned with mandolin-style unison courses, the Acoustic Gryphon's celestial, sparkling highs and punchy mid-register give it unique punch and cut, and an unusually versatile range of performance possibilities.
