Paoletti Guitars: Handmade electric guitars from Italy with an extensive custom concept
The Paoletti 112 Lounge Heavy White is a special custom store electric guitar with an unmistakable character and handmade boutique quality from Italy. All Paoletti models are characterised by their solid chestnut body, which is obtained from historicwine barrels. This construction method is based on a 130 to 170-year-old tradition, which gives each instrument from the Italian family business a unique appearance. In combination with the eye-catching Heavy Relic finish in Heavy White, this 112 Lounge model underlines the individual approach of Paoletti Guitars. A central feature of the brand is the extensive custom concept: almost all components can be individually specified on request, making each instrument truly unique. Every Paoletti is therefore not just an instrument, but an individual one-off with a high boutique standard. The models available in the store are also based on this concept and represent specific configurations within the respective series, allowing a completely personalised guitar to be made on request.
The Paoletti 112-Lounge is not only visually impressive across the board, but also delivers a great sound for all genres from blues to rock!

The chestnut body in a heavy white finish delivers a great vintage aesthetic with an individual look, which stands out from conventional designs thanks to the Offset-Design. The bolt-on roasted maple neck in a medium 'C' profile in combination with the ebony fingerboard, ensures a precise playing feel. With 22 frets and a classic 25.5" scale length, the 112 Lounge offers a familiar playing feel for a wide variety of playing styles. Kluson Deluxetuners and the fixed Paoletti OEM 6-saddle bridge guarantee robust tuning and reliable performance for jam sessions, studio recording or on stage.

Equipped with a humbucker/P90 combination, the 112 Lounge covers a wide tonal spectrum. The P-90 pickup on the neck delivers articulate sounds with a strong character, while the bridge humbucker provides assertive rock and high-gain sounds. On top of this, the humbucker is fitted with an anodised nickel cover, which also adds an elegant visual accent. The 3-way switch as well as the volume and tone controls can be used to control the setup for every application and adapt it to different musical requirements.
About Paoletti Guitars
Paoletti Guitars is an Italian custom guitar maker specialising in handcrafted instruments made from high-quality chestnut wood obtained from historic wine barrels. Each instrument is traditionally handcrafted and combines a special look with a unique character. The Italian family business looks back on 130 to 170 years of tradition and builds each guitar by hand.
A central feature of the brand is the extensive custom concept: almost all components can be individually specified on request. From body shape (Alfa, Nancy, Seicento, 112, Steel & Cigar and many more) and series (Wine, Loft, Lounge, Signature & Limited Edition) to neck and fingerboard options (e.g. individual inlays) to pickups, Hardware and Finish (color-over-color options to individual graphics), you are free to decide what specifications the instrument should have.
The custom concept from Paoletti Guitars
Both classic and unusual combinations can be realised, including different pickup configurations (e.g. SSS, HSS, P90 setups), different bridge systems or individual colour and ageing options with multi-layered finishes. Even details such as fingerboard inlays, tuners or pickguard materials can be customised.
Each Paoletti is therefore not just a Custom Shop instrument, but an individual one-off. The models available in the store are also based on this configuration concept and represent specific variants within the respective series.
