This Used Veillette Jazz 14 Hollowbody is in on consignment and it is in very nice shape. There are 6 or 7 small dings in the top but none of them are blatant. The neck is straight, the frets are sin good shape, and the truss rod functions properly. Included with the guitar is the original Veillette Gigbag.
The Veillette Lyric is a fairly small bodied archtop, making it both comfortable and fun to play. Its midrange is lively, open, and very vocal — excellent for complex chords and fast solo passages, where note definition is essential. Fat, strong trebles and a well-defined low end give the guitar a clear and balanced voice through its whole range, perfect for everything from solo chord-melody to big-band rhythm playing.
The solid Cedar top is curved into a "radiused" arc shape, yielding a stiff but lightweight face that reacts similarly to a carved archtop plate. The adjustable height floating bridge and custom-designed wooden tailpiece contribute to a fast, responsive attack, and offer excellent adjustability and serviceability.
The carefully targeted top thickness and bracing pattern are designed to minimize feedback while still delivering the responsiveness, feel, and "air" that only a true hollowbody can offer. This guitar has smooth curves and a 14" lower bout. Comfortable, but large enough to deliver a rich full sound.
