Special guitars call for special strings, and the new sets available from Veillette Guitars should fit the bill. Veillette Guitars, the manufacturer known for its innovative guitars in a variety of custom tuning ranges, has introduced private-label string sets for specialized tunings.

Designed for optimum tension, feel, and tone, these strings are gauged to work ideally with the scale lengths on Veillette instruments, from the longest Baritone scales to Terz tunings and the high-tuned Gryphon 6-string and 12-string guitars. According to Veillette Guitars, years of testing and development guarantee the best possible playability, intonation, balanced output level, and winding lengths.

Each new set is available in Bronze or Nickel. Choose from the following types and sizes: Gryphon 6 and 12, .009" – .042", Terz 6 and 12, .009" – .047", Baritone 6, .014" – .070", and Baritone 12, .015" – .080".

Now owners of Veillette guitars (and soon, basses) can order the exact string sets designed for their instruments, ensuring that their guitars sound just as good as the manufacturer intended.

The following sets are available:

• Gryphon 6 and 12, .009" – .042", Bronze or Nickel
