Paoletti Nancy Loft HS Guitar, Pau Ferro Fretboard, Relic Black

Player's Perspective

We're absolutely stoked to welcome Paoletti Guitars into the family. Handmade over in Italy, these are absolutely extraordinary boutique guitars with a unique take on a tried and true, classic design. The black over sunburst finish along with the tasteful aging and beautiful split brass pickguard design are all very artistically and tastefully done.

The playability is absolutely off the charts. It truly feels like a handmade guitar (because it is) in all of the best ways. The meticulous attention to detail is immediately evident from top to bottom. This is a guitar that really gets the job done and sounds absolutely phenomenal while having supreme ease of playability! The fretwork is something to marvel at and the neck is expertly carved from top to bottom.

The humbucker is modeled after a PAF and it sounds absolutely fantastic. There is an incredible warmth from it as well as dynamic response all while staying incredibly articulate. You get a warm, rich, full, and creamy tone out of that neck pickup that is to die for. Meanwhile, the single-coil in the bridge is going to give you all of that classic T-style twang that you could possibly ever want. It's bright and has lots of spank but it also isn't overly shrill. Some bridge single-coils can sound like an ice pick going through your eardrums, but not this one. It's got plenty of brightness to it while still being incredibly musical.

Handmade in Italy by master builder Paoletti Fabrizio, these really are special instruments that have that "masterbuilt" feel to them. Who needs a Ferrari when you can have the Ferrari of guitars?

Details

What makes a Paoletti guitar unique is the careful selection and use of aged chestnut woods, preserved and reclaimed from our 130+ year old wine barrels. The vibrations that a chestnut body generates is one of a kind in frequency, harmony, and offers tonal sustain across the full harmonic spectrum.

Here is a Paoletti Loft Series which features our signature Chestnut body, Roasted Hard Maple neck and Paoletti Handmade pickups, Single coil and Paoletti PAF pickup.
