We've got Avantes, including afffordable "B"-stocks, or you can order something from the custom shop. Call us at 845-514-4722 or email us at info@veilletteguitars.

![]() 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, Veillette Elan, Gryphon. December 23, 2024
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
