Paoletti Guitars partner with master builder John Cruz on Ltd. Edition Nancy Loft '60s Laketide
Last year Paoletti Guitars and Master Builder John Cruz came together to create the ground-breaking Loft Alfa - Ltd. Edition Cruz Masterpiece, marking a decade-long journey of friendship and craftsmanship. Now Paoletti and John Cruz continue their partnership with the release of the Nancy Loft SS - Paoletti - Cruz '60s Laketide
The friendship between Fabrizio Paoletti and John Cruz began over ten years ago, sparked by a chance meeting at the Custom Shop Lounge in Bologna, Italy. Recognising each other's passion for guitar making, the two Master Builders embarked on a journey fuelled by a mutual love for the instrument and a desire to produce unparalleled quality and sonic excellence. This collaboration culminated last year with the release of the Loft Alfa - Ltd. Edition Cruz Masterpiece
For nearly four decades, John Cruz has crafted instruments for music legends like Bono, Carlos Santana, Slash, Duff McKagan, John Mayer, Richie Sambora, and many more. His globally recognised guitars reflect meticulous craftsmanship, enhancing each musician's artistic expression.
The Nancy Loft SS Paoletti-Cruz '60s Laketide is expertly crafted from iconic aged chestnut wood, reclaimed and preserved from Paoletti's historic wine barrels. This distinctive material generates a unique frequency and harmony while delivering rich tonal sustain across the full harmonic spectrum.
Designed for durability, this limited-edition guitar features two handcrafted Paoletti '60s single-coil Red Alnico 2 pickups, meticulously manufactured entirely in-house. The neck is expertly crafted from Canadian roasted maple and paired with a Pau Ferro fingerboard.
Limited to 10 guitars, each Paoletti - Cruz '60s Laketide comes complete with an exclusive booklet.
Nancy Loft SS - Paoletti - Cruz '60s Laketide Limited Edition guitars are available to buy from authorised Paoletti Guitars dealers in the UK & Ireland now.
