Pixel Nancy HS - Nicola Buttafuoco (PTN)

2025 Custom

For their latest album tour Hello World, Pinguini Tattici Nucleari (PTN) challenged Paoletti Guitars to bring their bold vision to life. Inspired by the pixelated worlds of arcade games, these custom-made guitars and bass feature sharp, geometric shapes and vivid colors, making a striking statement of creativity.

This Pixel Nancy HS model, created for Nicola Buttafuoco — AKA Butt — showcases a completely original pixelated design, yet retaining the signature elements of our Nancy models. It boasts a custom color palette that perfectly matches the style of the other instruments in the band.

The body, with its geometric contours, is crafted from our distinctive chestnut wood, while the neck is built from Canadian roasted maple, with Pau Ferro fretboard. The instrument has custom electronics and is equipped with a Humbucker and a Single Coil pickups, and a Paoletti OEM Six-Saddles Nancy Bridge.

Each of the PTN 2025 instruments is adorned with an intricate inlay on the neck, crafted from olive, walnut, and Canadian roasted maple wood. The inlays represent a world map, symbolizing the album’s themes of global networks and human (dis)connection.

Inspired by this collaboration, you too can turn your dream guitar into reality. Push the boundaries of design, color, and form, and let Paoletti Guitars help you create an instrument that’s as unique as your vision. Think big, think bold — your custom-made guitar is waiting to be crafted!
