Fabrizio Paoletti and John Cruz are proud to renew their unique partnership - an boutique limited run of co-made and signed guitars, infused with exquisite raw materials and the renowned trademark quality of Paoletti Guitars manufacture, enriched with John Cruz's long-experienced, iconic touch of personalized relic finish.

When the relentless quest for excellence of two custom-shop Master Builders has Made in Italy meet  the American soul, the result is a new guaranteed MasterPiece, already a must-have for the collections of the most devoted guitar lovers.

What makes a Paoletti guitar unique is the careful selection and use of aged chestnut wood, preserved and reclaimed from our 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.

The Nancy Loft SS - Paoletti - Cruz '60s Laketide is equipped with Canadian Roasted Maple neck and Pau Ferro fingerboard, Nancy's three saddles bridge and Paoletti OEM hardware.

This unique piece has two Paoletti '60s single coil red Alnico 2 pickups, 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!

Together with each of the 10 Paoletti - Cruz '60s Laketide also comes an exclusive Booklet containing insights about the project.

The first time I met Fabrizio and his creations was 10 years ago, in Bologna - Italy. We both shared stories of how passionate we were about building guitars. I just knew he was a Great guy and would become a Great builder in the industry. It was not long after that Fabrizio sent me a Beautiful Wine series guitar. I still hold this Guitar in my collection as one of my favorite pieces that I own. I am excited for this partner project, to infuse these instruments with my own appreciation and interpretation and contribute creating guitars the customers can be proud of.

You are in four good hands.
