Paoletti Stratospheric Loft HS Heavy White 2021

Guitars from the Italian boutique workshop of Fabrizio Paoletti have a special status. Not only do they have a unique look, the materials used are also of the highest quality and absolutely unique. Paoletti uses preserved chestnut wood for the bodies, which is obtained from wine barrels that are over 130 years old. This not only looks spectacular, but also gives the instruments their unique sound. All made by hand, of course.

Here is a Paoletti Strat-style model, which, with its somewhat unconventional pickup configuration, should be of particular interest to guitarists from the harder camp, but can also be used universally.

Made in Italy, year of construction: 2021.

Chestnut body in “Heavy White” Relic finish with vintage style tremolo, CTS 250 K Volume switch pot in rifle cartridge design and three-way hot switch.

Roasted Canadian maple neck (“Medium C” profile) with likewise roasted maple fingerboard (12" radius), 22 Dunlop 6110 jumbo frets, bone nut, reversed headstock and Kluson Modern Deluxe tuners.

Pickup configuration: Paoletti 60's 7.5 K Alnico 5 single-coil pickup on the neck. Paoletti Rock II 8.1 K Alnico 5 humbucker pickup in the bridge position - switchable to single-coil via push/push coil split.

Weight: 3.5 kg.

Comes exactly as pictured in a Paoletti rectangular case, including certificate, manual, strap and other accessories.
