Veillette Guitars Introduces the Acoustic 12
January 8, 2003
New for 2003, Veillette Guitars is proud to introduce the Acoustic 12 fully acoustic guitars. The Acoustic 12 is available in standard and baritone versions.
The Standard-tuned guitar's shorter 24.1" scale allows perfect tension all the way up the neck, even with heavy strings tuned to standard pitch. No more tuning down to capo up: this was designed to be an easy playing acoustic 12-string guitar. The Baritone version features a slightly larger body and 26.1" scale for full, clean low end and easy, comfortable action.
Both guitars feature a one-piece 22-fret mahogany neck that is attached to the body at the 14th fret with a unique neck joint arrangement that provides remarkable stability using only a single machine bolt.
The Acoustic 12 incorporates an asymmetrical body shape with a cutaway for unhindered upper-fret access, and dual offset soundholes, which maximize structural integrity, and allow for the maximum amount of continuous vibrating surface.
The Acoustic 12 comes standard with mahogany back and sides, Sitka spruce top, and Indian Rosewood bridge, fingerboard, and binding. Maple or rosewood backs and sides are available by special order. The guitar comes with a satin polyurethane finish. Traditional lacquer is also available as an option. The instrument ships with a custom Veillette gig bag.
Each Veillette guitar is individually hand-crafted in Woodstock, NY
The guitar is available with the Alvarez System 500A transducer/preamp, with controls for volume and 3-band semi-parametric equalization.
Retail price for the the Acoustic 12 is $1950, $2350 with Alvarez piezo system.
