  • Veillette Avante Gryphon by sam Wise, Acoustic Magazine, January 2016.
    We couldn't put the Gryphon down, and when we did, we were soon picking it up again. It's a fascinating instrument, easy to play, yet challenging and intriguing.
  • Avante Gryphon 12-string by Art Thompson, Guitar Player Magazine, June 2015.
    Despite its compact dimensions the Gryphon Avante 12 delivers a robust acoustic sound and has no problem being heard alongside full-sized flat-tops.
  • Avante Gryphon Review by Joe Gore, Premier Guitar Magazine, March 2015.
    The most beguiling facet of the Gryphon's tone is its glistening, bell-like high end. I can't think of a better way to powder a track with magic fairy dust.

    In this day and age when young guitarists are constantly reinventing the instrument, it's easy to see how the Gryphon might be a tool of sonic evolution.
  • Avante Gryphon by Adam Perlmutter, Acoustic Guitar Magazine, January 2015.
    Until recently a new Gryphon cost more than $4,000, but now Veillette offers a Korean-made version at less than half that price.
