Overview

Paoletti Guitars proudly presents a groundbreaking collaboration with renowned electric guitar Master Builder John Cruz, marking a decade-long journey of friendship and craftsmanship. The ‘Paoletti – Cruz Masterpiece’ Limited Edition guitar redefines musical instrument excellence with its unparalleled design and quality.

The friendship between Fabrizio Paoletti and John Cruz began ten years ago, sparked by a chance meeting at the Custom Shop Lounge in Bologna, Italy. Recognising each other's passion for guitar making, the two Master Builders embarked on a journey fuelled by a mutual love for the instrument and a desire to produce unparalleled quality and sonic excellence.

At the core of this collaboration is the popular Paoletti Guitars Alfa Loft model, crafted from Paoletti's trademark reclaimed chestnut wood and adorned with signature brass hardware. Cruz's expertise add finesse to the body finish in a refined Paoletti cream colour and Canadian roasted maple neck, creating the ‘Paoletti – Cruz Masterpiece’ - an instrument that resonates with both Italian heritage and American craftsmanship.

Paoletti Loft Series Guitars

Paoletti’s Loft Series guitars are characterised by their distressed finishes with the application of a touch of colour atop their natural body wood, giving them their distinctive rustic Italian flavour.

Comprising of road worn models all with their own unique colouring, Loft Series guitars remain true to Paoletti’s philosophy and trademark by using 130+ year old chestnut body wood.
