Here is how Joe Veillette describes his Acoustic Gryphon High 12 guitar:
Though it's the smallest acoustic we make (and one of the smallest we've seen), the Acoustic Gryphon is no toy. Tuned to high D (2 frets lower than the 12th fret of a standard guitar) and tuned with mandolin-style unison courses, the Acoustic Gryphon's celestial, sparkling highs and punchy mid-register give it unique cut and punch, and an unusually wide range of applications. Guitarists will love being able to play mandolin-style parts in a new high register, and even guitar-mandolin doublers will find new horizons, like the ability to play guitar-like or fingerstyle patterns in a mandolin tonality.
