Paoletti Stratospheric Wine Series SSS

Description

A very unusual and rare guitar for us. Certainly, the very first Italian made instrument we’ve ever had in. If you need any introduction to these, Paoletti is a bespoke Italian guitar builder who produces custom shop quality instruments from reclaimed woods that are decades old. This one is from their wine series and is crafted from reclaimed chestnut wood. This is a very different beats to your average American made Strat type guitar. It features some unique appointments such as reclaimed shot gun cartridge bases as knobs, burnt wood logo and very authentic looking ‘Kluson Deluxe’ machine heads. The level of craftsmanship in this guitar is incredible. A stunning piece. Today Paoletti are making quite a name for themselves and many of the well-known guitar retailers are now stocking them. Right now, new models are retailing for £3700 – £4200 for non-limited models like this one. We have given this one the full set up treatment although it did come to us in virtually as new condition. A one owner instrument that was bought by a collector who kept it in top condition. A case queen!
