Neck Profile & Fretting Philosophy — A Mastery of Precision
At Paoletti Guitars, we adhere to a unified philosophy when it comes to neck profiles and fretting, ensuring consistency and excellence across all our body shapes. Our commitment goes beyond mere design — it allows us to deliver exceptional customer service while achieving a level of precision that rivals the finest PLEK machines.
Available in two profiles — Medium C (24 mm at the 1st fret, 25 mm at the 12th fret) and Slim C (22.5 mm at the 1st fret, 23.5 mm at the 12th fret) — our necks are offered in 3+3 or 6-in-line, reverse or standard configurations, with a radius of 12” or 10”.
Crafting the Perfect Neck
Our approach is rooted in innovation. Paoletti Guitars proudly utilizes machinery custom-designed by Fabrizio Paoletti himself, exclusive to our workshop and not available on the market. Each neck undergoes a meticulous, step-by-step process that guarantees precise intonation, sonic power, and rich harmonics from the first to the last fret. Our commitment to craftsmanship is evident in every detail, resulting in a neck that not only performs flawlessly but is built to last.
Making the Difference
Unlike the traditional PLEK method, which adjusts the guitar after assembly, we take a more refined approach devoted to millimeter precision. Micro-corrections are applied gradually throughout each phase — from the shaping of the radius to the careful bending and fitting of the frets into their slots, every step is optimized for accuracy. Our machinery, finely tuned for precision, ensures that every neck meets the highest standards of quality.
Proven Excellence
We put our process to the test by having over 20 guitars evaluated by one of our official dealers equipped with a PLEK machine. The outcome? The machine only performed a final check, as the necks were already so perfectly calibrated that no adjustments were necessary.
This is a testament to the precision we achieve in-house, ensuring that each guitar is ready for the stage or studio without compromise.
