So what do you think of this Paoletti guitar? Let me know down below!

[@Frenchmelodymaker]

Too expensive for the average guy 😢

[@RVDL]

Out of curiosity, what does the version you reviewed cost?

[@blekfut5763]

Expensive, but look chaep and in bad taste. This is typical for italian products. Too much bling-bling.

[@marquisdecarabas1312]

Would love it, but for me it is too much bling bling shee shee looks wise. Would be a diamant if it would have been designed more simple the Wood, colour and sound is very fine. And yeah...this price tag is not for people like me. I was lucky as hell when i bought a used squier classic vibe 50s tele made in china for 220€ ...thats my price range 😂

[@ppvk2610]

Wow what a guitar! Great sound options there; that is some range .. Loved that first solo. What was it again? Frankly I did find Green River better sounding on this guitar.

[@jcivantos]

I want that guitar. I contacted Paoletti after I saw this and unfortuntately they dont have that one anymore (since they sent it to you!). That’s the most beautiful guitar I’ve ever seen.

[@Hemifan4266]

I cant stop looking at the wood on the body and the different colorations in the finger board. It is stunning..

[@Blackdogmountain]

Wow! What a dream guitar, hadn’t heard of Paoletti guitars until now.

[@hijmestoffels5171]

The Paoletti sample sounds the best without any doubt. I wish I could afford one.

[@simpsimpson5175]

buy a 1980s jap awsuit tele like tokai or fernandes,, greco etc..can pick up for 500$

[@geneg7622]

You're so good, it doesn't matter which guitar you play, they all sound awesome

[@dj011392]

Man that thing is so versatile and sounds beautiful 😃

[@marions.120]

Sounds wonderful, but it’s always hard to tell because you’re playing is so great! ✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

[@alainbrisebois8334]

I was just looking at another of your videos with you playing that guitar and I was drooling ,,,looking at it . The tone sound warm but can be snapy at the same time. Congrats to you !I hope to see that beauty often .

[@vonzoomtunes9847]

Never heard these until today. Sounds amazing!

[@catzdollz9810]

Not only is it super MACHO looking, but it's crazy beautiful and desireable in its tone and clarity. The very idea that it may have once held 100's of gallons of fine wine makes it even more special. As if the relaxation and great get- together atmosphere is built in!

[@bluwng]

Holy poop that is Art and Function working seamlessly together. They have even cooler looking strats.

[@justanotherknucklehead7445]

Mine is arriving today. Good demo. Thanks

[@brettCB]

Very nice and sounds great . Love it

[@signorinistephane2513]

Very good YT channel !! Fantastic guitar this one and these of this guitar builder

[@jerrygeist1677]

Truly art from sounds an looks detailed to perfection!

[@billyclub9863]

You are definitely gonna sell some of these for them. Looks like a Classy instrument. Hopefully, they have enough class to let you keep the guitar. You gave them a Hell of a commercial. As always, great job! 👍🏼♣️

[@pharmerdavid1432]

A $5K guitar? I agree he should keep it, make the mafia come get it if they want it back..................*

[@teogeorgantas]

Such a thing of beauty! Brilliant sound! Make an other video using the humbucker pickup!

[@davisworth5114]

Really cool Telly, you sound great!

[@andrevanpoele4894]

Beautiful guitar, sound awesome!

[@TheRange7]

What a gorgeous instrument. It sounds as awesome as it looks. That has everything to do with the great player using it. Cheers

[@DavidRFIT]

Paoletti makes incredible guitars and pickups. Phil X says their neck telecaster pickup is the best ever.

[@JudgeFredd]

Beautiful guitar

[@iannicholls7476]

That sounds fantastic.

[@musiqueurbaine]

At 45 years of playing the Tele type guitar is my fav. Probably has something to do that for 35 of these years I only owned a 72 Fender Telecaster. Now I own a bunch of Tele’s, Strats and LP’s along with a few other types. Nevertheless the Tele types will always be my favorites. Regardless if it’s a Fender or not. If there put and setup well together I’ll play any. Thanks for this video. This is my 2nd viewing of your Channel! I’ve subscribed and will continue to watch. This Italian gem is now on my wish lists! Thanks again

[@1111MJR]

I am not a huge tele fan but but that Paoletti is the best sounding and looking by a huge margin!

[@johnnyxmusic]

Tasty playing! ❤❤

[@wmot206]

Beautiful guitar!

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Lovely

[@mk00918]

i'm already totally addicted !!!

[@bluangl9wingman]

Beautiful looking and sounding guitar. I like it's sound the best 👍

[@drewbarries]

So great, I liked it better than the others on every example. You do know that it’s possible to wire a Strat bridge PUP to a tone pot and turn it down.

[@durkar3791]

Paoletti guitars are class, if I ever have the money I'm definitely getting one!!!

[@ukcryptolondonbased2953]

Stunning guitar

[@DavidSchneiderIP]

Yep!

[@capomover]

My first guitar teacher was a jazz player extraordinaire and despised any electric guitar other than his lovely Gibson Super 400 big box f-hole jazz box with a single Gibson ES-150 “Charlie Christian” pickup. He used to joke me about my Fender by saying: "I thought a fender was something on a car". Then he laughed and shook his head with disgust. After decades of playing, the Fender Highway One Tele with Joe Bardens is what I finally settled on as my personal favorite guitar. But I really want to get my hands on one of these Paolettis.

[@sapelesteve]

Very nice looking and sounding guitar Thom! I was wondering how they got the wood discoloration on the guitar neck? My uncle was the manager in a Winery in Brooklyn way back when, so I am very familiar with wine barrels. Nice to see that the wood is being used to make guitars. Hope that all is well with you and your family! 👍👍🎸🎸

[@Guitarorpheo]

I have made a bunch of chestnut body guitars. It is akin to working with ash. Not (more) difficult or more expensive at all. Just uncommon. Roasting maple does not remove "impurities" but caramelizes the sugars, removes moisture and crystallises the internal resins.

[@paulodacunha8781]

All of them !

[@mattcampbell5941]

Oh wow 😍

[@chrisforrest4581]

You make that guitar sound great it was made for you !!

[@louvi99]

I think that of your three guitars, this is the one with the best sound!

[@rodrigofonseca6241]

A guitar made out of wine barrels? I want to play it and I also want to smell it. Jokes aside, that Paoletti telly is gorgeous and it sounds as better as it looks, especially on your hands. Congratulations for your amazing gift; you deserved it! 🎸🎸🎸

[@Fano2702]

Hi Pilgrim It really sounds great and has a wide range of sounds available. But it does look heavy somehow… what is the weight of your Paoletti? Thanks for your feedback - and your faboulus playing!

[@freddysnightmare8391]

very nice awesome Paoletti guitar what style ?

[@stevepelham9010]

YES!!! Very nice and It got that sound that I love and always trying to get as today fiddling on my Nr1 and it is there but the work...and will it stay? Propably not as it is one affordable guitar, those are shifting foot all the time but ok it will do. The day that I am a celeb rockstar I will demand me an Paoletti!

[@lefty5string]

it sounds better on all but ive lifted wine barrels is it about 15lbs?

[@paulmiller780]

Good to hear that custom guitars like this are made

[@Usksider]

It's a beautiful beast with a fabulous sound, no denying that. I guess we can all dream....

[@LA-zc9rg]

Did you keep it or ship it back after the review?

[@ShineDawg]

I kept hearing freddie king and hideaway throught the demo. Great gear Italy

[@jkennan]

It reminds me of George Harrison’s rosewood telecaster. Sounds great.

[@jameswitkowski6736]

Nice...!!!

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Reminds me of those early Van Nuys Schecter guitars !

[@baynesstreetblues]

Your Paoletti Wine Series SH doesn’t appear on the current website models available, nor are there current dealers here in Australia - which is a pity since this guitar is highly desirable. The sound created from the ‘aged wood’ is incredible - but probably only affordable by the wealthy or professional guitarists. For guitarists who like artwork, as well as playing an axe, this Paoletti would be a fine talking point hanging from anyone’s lounge room wall.

[@jroskott]

Did you mention the price?

[@beatleboy0195]

GUITAR SHAPE GREAT I LOVE A TELECASTER SHAPE GUITAR, THE WOOD LOOKS ABSOLUTLEY BEAUTIFUL, THE DOWN SIDE IS THE GOLD/BRONZE PLATES ANOTHER COLOUR WOULD BE BETTER AND THE HUMBUCKER IS GREAT TOO.

[@alexanderroesch2287]

Compared to the other two, the Gibson sounds like through a pillow! The Paoletti looks and sounds great!

[@signorenzo5957]

Paoletti guitar are my dream guitar, they sound excellent, they look excellent and are made in Tuscany. What's more you can ask? I hope to win the lottery for buy one. Thanks for the video.

[@kegmysta]

Still loved the fender:)

[@Stevieboy130664]

Fantastic sounding guitar. Fantastic looking guitar - except for the headstock shape...

[@jomercurio1520]

Was it heavier than the others? Sometimes it looked heavy when you held it but then other times you took it upright and turned the strings toward you and it looked light......

[@the_fleeing_dutchman]

Very nice guitar indeed, great looks and sound! But, I reckon you're talking about Fender Custom shop type prices, right? 4K euros?

[@slugtoenail]

yup

[@robmoss7580]

Compare Paoletti with good factory Tele?

[@johnnorth9355]

Sigh , back to my Squire Tele for me. (the Paoletti has the most amazingly stylish relic !).

[@johnnyxmusic]

Heck, I have an Affinity squire… And it’s actually pretty good. Except one a little height adjustment screws on one of the saddles keeps getting loose. And of course the tuners are pretty bad.

[@thomasjhansenfu7298]

great guitar broo

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Thanks brother, it is indeed a great guitar

[@pishbot]

sounds tasty bro

[@pb1005]

Paoletti è un artigiano fantastico. La maestria nella sua massima espressione.

[@tbee65]

You sound like Ricardo Montalban talking about corinthian leather lol. This is in no way a negative comment, your channel is great.

[@LaurenceMc]

Yikers! Even on my computer speakers it sounds like a beautiful dream. Quite handsome too. While it's true that a good player can make a cheap guitar sound pretty good, no one can make a bad guitar sound amazing.

[@user-jz6to8md3c]

What is the cost of this guitar.?

[@barackmycat9448]

Looks and sounds great. Just how much are these things?

[@Mitch1977]

I’d like to know what these cost also! They do sound good!

[@ChristianLarumbe]

@@Mitch1977 They're about 4K in the US.

[@Mitch1977]

@@ChristianLarumbe thank you Christian

[@DreamsongsProductions]

How much?

[@kegmysta]

Price?

[@michaelstrauss6587]

....that axe makes me want to play again....

[@electropainted]

wow soon as i win the lottery...gorgeous aged hardware. love your playing but might be helpful to hear samples of an actual clean tone and some feedback on the feel of the instrument, the weight, neck shape and finish and so on...hey you're not my regular guitar reviewer are you? ha very enjoyable btw what amp are we pairing with this wine, I mean this guitar

[@Fezzler61]

Cool axe.

[@DT-ml3xv]

Which one I like best? I like em all! Prolly cause it's the Pilgrim playing. Super Tigre quality.

[@564df6g5h4d6f5g4h6d5]

Truss rod adjustment is where? Stainless steel frets? Locking tuners, graph tech nut? glow in the dark side marker dots? Truss rod adjuster wheel at the neck heel? Belly cut, right hand relief cut. If it has all these things I might consider it. 2023 what I like.

[@valueofnothing2487]

How can it sound like a telecaster with a humbucker pickup? Wood species is not a determinate of the tone of a guitar.

[@PbPomper]

On the website you need to request info for the price. That's all you need to know :P

[@ArtLogins]

I see more and more guitars like my Fender Telecaster with a Gibson Humbucker in the neck position..... 🙂 But not quite..... 😀😀😀

[@introvert9639]

It's not the instrument but artist who makes the difference.😉

[@invalidaccount2315]

while they do have seemingly great guitars, i find it annoying their website slows my mouse wheel speed down in order to force me to read all their sales pitch.

[@killW1266]

What kind of money for that guitar right there ?

[@stratman9449]

as you said...does it sound as good as it looks...??...i'd have to try that myself with my own gear...hard to say otherwise.....

[@inlandbott]

The real question is do you get to keep it?

[@Frenchmelodymaker]

Hey man, I’ve seen a lot of Hendrix lives and one thing the bugs me is that he could get octave up tones with his wah pedal, how’s that possible ?

[@brunoornelas7240]

it could be the octavio...

[@Frenchmelodymaker]

@@brunoornelas7240 no he did not used it for Woodstock or Maui

[@Frenchmelodymaker]

@@HM-2011 I watched the live at least 3 times and no there’s just the Fuzz face, wah and univibe

[@Frenchmelodymaker]

@@HM-2011 no problemo

[@ErickvdK]

Where in a wine barrel do they find a slab of chestnut that big? I have some of those barrels, but nowhere is there a piece of wood big enough to make that body...😮 looks more like ash to me, btw.

[@mikelundquist4596]

I considered carrying these at a store that I used to work at. Pretty good guitars, but not at that price point.

[@A10011]

Aren't barrels made of thin strips of wood?

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Chet Atkins was playing a set and one guy made the comment after each song that the guitar had a great sound and he kept praising the guitar. Chet stopped the song and handed him the guitar and said to try it himself.

[@lazvt8469]

NIce guitar. Jon is JUST TOO LOUD from Singapore plays one...has a signature model even. Got my first (2) handwired amps recently....perhaps it's time to sell off some guitars and get my first custom shop guitar? Love Tele's best....this Paoletti sounds magical....kinda like my Hamstead Artist amp. Thanks for great video, GP!!

[@dreamscuba]

I liked the sound of the Paoletti the most. But, each has it's uses...

[@jameselliano1203]

Sounds like an ES335.

[@manaras]

Very expensive, but worth every cent

[@markjackson1136]

For me, still like the rich tone of the Gibson ..beautiful guitar though. Is it heavier but still well balanced?

[@bigtimbo4236]

It's a beautiful guitar and sounds great, but I don't know how it "changes everything." It doesn't "change" the fact that I love my Les Paul and Strat and will keep them.

[@briandoherty3364]

Ok- not sure what it changes, exactly, despite the title screaming that it CHANGES EVERYTHING 🤣

[@DavidRFIT]

You really have to work on the "Paoletti" pronunciation though.
