The Story behind the Paoletti Gold Color

In the early days of Paoletti Guitars, Fabrizio developed a unique formula for a golden finish unlike any other. This wasn’t just paint; it was a carefully guarded blend that contained real metallic pigments, giving it a depth and life that ordinary gold finishes could never match.

Most gold guitars look flat. This one doesn’t. Under the sun, it shifts, shimmers, and comes alive — a dance of light and shade that reveals its true nature. That’s the magic of genuine metal within the finish, catching every ray and reflecting it back in a warm, ever-changing glow.

This formula is still crafted today in Tuscany by skilled artisans who understand the art of color as much as the craft of guitar-making.

It’s an ecological finish too, prepared in small batches and applied quickly to ensure it bonds perfectly to the wood. Every drop is precious, and every application is a race against time — but the result is worth it.

It’s more than just a color. It’s a chapter in our history, a symbol of artistry and the belief that every detail matters.
