Description
This Paoletti Stratospheric Loft HSS is a stunning instrument in every facet of design. From its striking Relic Tobacco Sunburst finish to its versatile HSS pickups, this gorgeous guitar is perfect for the working musician or the avid collector.
Crafted from aged chestnut reclaimed from 150-year-old wine barrels, this guitar projects a stunning tone with plenty of sustain and exceptional balance across the entire harmonic spectrum. The body's familiar shape makes for a comfortable playing experience, and its deep double-cutaways offer easy access to all 22 frets. And, thanks to its sleek medium "C" shaped Canadian Roasted Maple neck, this beauty plays like a dream and projects a spankin' top end.
Powering this guitar is a chiming set of Paoletti 60's pickups in the neck and middle positions that churn out a stellar array of classic Strat tones. These pickups are warm, sweet, and incredibly responsive to the player's touch, courtesy of their 7.5K Alnico magnets and 22 AWG tinned cloth wire. If you're looking for a little extra crunch, though, just engage the Seymour Duncan Little '59 humbucker in the bridge position, and this axe will deliver a hot, punchy snarl. Complete with CTS pots and a 5-way pickup switch, this Paoletti Stratospheric Loft HSS can dial in a wide range of tones suited for any performance setting.
Blending practical designs with modern performance features and striking aesthetics, this Paoletti Stratospheric Loft HSS is excellent for players seeking a top-notch boutique guitar with a fantastic sound.
