2008 Veillette Baritone 12 String Acoustic Guitar

The Baritone guitar is quickly gaining in popularity as players discover the wonderous array of colors playing in the lower register offers. From fingerstyle to accompaniment, the versatility of a Baritone can't be denied. Add a capo and you can go right back to standard pitch. The latest twist is the 12 Baritone which combines the sweet low range with the shimmer of octave strings for a new and fresh sound that is at once inspiring and practical. This sound fits in beautifully in an ensemble and also stands on its own for solo work. Joe Veillette's Baritone 12 is super easy to play as well and comes fitted with an 18 volt pickup system from DTAR. This instrument features:

Comments: "I've never played an acoustic baritone 12-string before and I have to admit it's captivating. The low pitched strings are offset by the octave strings which gives it an interesting quality and inspires new ideas." - Al Petteway

"What an amazing tonal color this guitar has. As Al says it's inspiring and will surely take your music in new directions. What's amazing to me is how easy Joe Veillette can get a 12 string to play. The 26.1" scales is also very accessible for every player, you won't feel much difference at all. This is cool..." - Paul Heumiller
