Paoletti & John Cruz

Came here to be disgusted, satisfied.

If the (in)famous Essex Recording Studios guy actually plays guitar, I bet he plays a Paoletti.

Is there a link to that on the web?

What a joke. Why do they feel the need to associate themselves with this asshole? Their guitars are perfectly fine on their own.

I'm pretty sure that was a classy gag from Stef rather than a serious request to see the guitar!

Probably, it's such a lovely guitar though, who wouldn't want to see it.

Interesting brand.  I do like some of their guitars, e.g.

But others look pretty horrific, ... to me anyway.

At least they're doing something a bit different though.

Thing for me is that I’m half Italian, my Italian family is in Bologna, I’m also a big Dave Kilminster/Roger Waters fan and so now that Dave is playing Paoletti’s I really want to like them. 

But I’d rather have a Suhr …

I love the idea that they're made of chestnut wood from old wine barrels, I quite like the brass hardware, but whether or not the end result is actually appealing... I don't know.  They seem to generally be heavyweights too, which doesn't appeal.

I’m not sure I buy the chestnut wine barrel story, how do you get a strat body out of these?

Of course you could glue up a number of staves, but it wouldn’t look like this 1 piece body

Philly_Q

Good point, perhaps it's just the same type of wood they use for wine barrels.  Which is considerably less interesting.

Good point - Maybe it is fine to use such blanks for a 4x12" Cabernet - But not a guitar body unless of course you want a Wine Red stained finish, that is bold and sturdy, with satisfying dark fruit flavors

it’s only rioja n roll, but I like it

to get into the spirit of things, how about the Fender Custom Shop '80 Proof' Blues Jnr, built from whisky barrel wood

Very good. He’s from Italy though, so it’s more a case of: you chianti always get what you want.

No, I know.  That was shit.  I apologise.
