• Comments: The Gryphon is a short scale 12-string guitar tuned up 10 half steps to DGCFAD. It easily adapts to any open tuning as well. This Avante version of the Gryphon is very close to the custom shop models in both sound and playability, for a fraction of the price. They put a lot of design savvy, time and effort into these instruments, and they are spot on. This is a serious performance and recording tool that will offer an entirely new and different pallet of sounds to players interested in exploring.
