Italia Monza 1999 - Red Sparkle
Our users rate Reverb
Up for grabs is a gorgeous, retro-styled 1999 Italia Monza. Designed by legendary British hardware guru Trevor Wilkinson and crafted in South Korea, this guitar delivers striking vintage aesthetics backed by serious, dialed-in playability.
This isn’t just a cool-looking oddball—it has been completely overhauled on the bench to be a flawless, reliable instrument. The electronics have been fully refreshed, featuring extensive grounding work and a thoroughly copper-lined cavity. The result? It is absolutely dead silent, whether you're plugging in at a noisy open mic night or tracking in the studio.
Restoration & Setup Highlights:
• Precision Fretwork: The frets have been expertly leveled, crowned, and polished for smooth, effortless bending and low action across the entire board.
• Hardware: Equipped with a fluid Wilkinson tremolo and rock-solid Gotoh tuning machines for superior tuning stability.
• Tone: The SSS pickup configuration delivers an amazing array of punchy, versatile tone combinations. (Please note: it plugs directly into an external amp; the original detachable amp pod is not included).
Condition: This is a true player's guitar that sounds amazing but does show some honest cosmetic wear and tear on the body. Please review the photos closely for the exact visual condition. Mechanically and electronically, it performs better than the day it left the factory.
No case included.
