Description

Jr Leather - Richard Fortus Signature #1

Paoletti Guitars is proud to announce Richard Fortus Signature guitar, created according to the personal specifications of a great musician.

What makes a Paoletti bass unique is the careful selection and use of aged chestnut woods, preserved and reclaimed from our 130+ year old wine barrels. The vibrations that a chestnut body generates is one of a kind in frequency, harmony, and offers tonal sustain across the full harmonic spectrum.

Richard in 2001 joined legendary hard rock band Guns N' Roses and began touring with the band and recording for the bands long awaited “Chinese Democracy” record.

Paoletti Pickups are handmade and manufactured 100% in house. Wired to the guitars electronics with a 22 AWG tinned cloth wire. Each pickup is coated with a wax layer to maintain integrity and to protect from any external interference. And best of all, they're built to last!

The guitar is equipped with Richard Fortus custom wiring electronic.

Some interesting specifications of this model:
Reclaimed Chestnut wood body, Hard Maple (TOP QUALITY FROM CANADA), with a caramel roasting process which makes it more stable and reliable, Italian Leather Top and double waxed handmade pickups to prevent noise on stages.
