Paoletti Guitars Stratospheric Loft HSS

Hand-Made, Custom Boutique Electric Guitar

Crafted from 130-170 year old reclaimed Chestnut!

Paoletti Instruments was established by Fabrizio Paoletti in 2005. These custom boutique electric guitars are inspired by the most iconic designs in rock history and each one is meticulously handcrafted in Italy using ancient Chestnut wood from the Paoletti Family's Chianti barrel reserve. Like many of the finest creations, Paoletti Guitars grew from a strong understanding of the past and an artist’s thirst for creativity. Based in Tuscany, Italy, the Paoletti family were producers of fine Chianti during the 19th Century. With reverence for the past while at the same time wanting to make the best use of the materials at hand, Fabrizio Paoletti began tapping his supply of the 130-170 year old Chestnut wood, formerly used to craft wine barrels for the old family business. He quickly realized that this well-seasoned wood gave his instruments a unique and impressive sound.

Adding to this impressive sound are Paoletti’s proprietary pickups, which are handmade and manufactured 100% in house. Each pickup is wax potted and wired in with 22 AWG tinned cloth wire. On board of this model , Mr. Paoletti has chosen to feature 2x Paoletti 60's – 7.5K Alnico 5 single coils, and a Paoletti Rock II - 8.1K Alnico 5 humbucker. CRL switch and CTS pots ensure an accurate selection of your desired tone. This particular Stratospheric Loft HSS also features a Roasted Maple Neck with Rosewood fingerboard, as well as the distinctive distressed look with brass pickguard.
