Paoletti Stratospehric Loft Series Guitar, Black Over 3-Tone Sunburst
Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud 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. This one comes from their Loft series and has a beautiful finish over finish vibe that we have been really digging. The black over 3-tone sunburst almost looks like the guitar is on fire, in a really cool way.
The playability is absolutely off the charts and this is one of the smoothest playing bolt-on guitars we've come across. It feels like a handmade guitar in all of the best ways. The meticulous attention to detail is immediately evident. This is much more than just a wild looking guitar. It really gets the job done! The fretwork is something to marvel at and the neck is expertly carved from top to bottom.
As far as the tone, it sounds like an old-school strat through and through. The bridge pickup is plenty bright but doesn't sound like an ice pick going through your ear drums, which is awesome. The neck is rich, warm, and creamy. The middle gives you some twang and spank while still having a good bit of bass response as well. The pickups are handmade, which gives them a lot of the same sort of magic that was found in some of the most iconic Strats of yesteryear. With every aspect of this guitar, it's extremely evident that each person that had a hand in building this takes immense pride in their contribution. Everything is done very precisely and carefully thought out.
Handmade by some of Italy's finest luthiers, this is a truly pro-quality instrument with incredible tone and easy playability to back up its rad looks.
