Formerly known as the Stratospheric, the Alfa model is Paoletti's S-Style guitar featuring 130-150 year old reclaimed chestnut body and superb custom hardware appointments. It is available in SSS, HSS and HH configurations and in both the solid body "Loft" and thinline "Lounge" variations.

How Does It Play?

The Medium C carve from Paoletti is a great profile. It’s a full C shape, but with rounded shoulders for extra comfort. The string action sits at just over 4/64” on the low E string and right at 4/64” on the high E string, measured at the 12^th fret. This one also has the bridge pickup wired to the 2^nd tone pot for further sonic sculpting.
