The Paoletti-Cruz ‘60s Laketide Limited Edition is here, and time is running out to claim one of the few remaining of the only 10 pieces made.

Born from more than a decade-long friendship and shared passion for craftsmanship, a unique collaboration was forged between two master builders, Fabrizio Paoletti and John Cruz. It began with the 2024 Paoletti-Cruz MasterPiece and is now renewed with the exclusive 2025 Paoletti-Cruz ‘60s Laketide Limited Edition — a collection of a few handcrafted jewels that combine the best of Italian artistry and American style.

Each of these rare guitars is crafted from the same chestnut wood essence once used to carve ancient wine barrels — the hallmark of Paoletti Guitars — offering a deep, resonant tone that cannot be replicated. The ‘60s Laketide model features Cruz’s custom design inspiration for the paint, meticulously applied by Paoletti Guitars. The relic touch, expertly executed by Cruz, along with vintage-inspired hardware and the two red alnico 2 single coil pickups, ensures a playing experience that is both responsive and rich in character.

Feel the ‘Sixties vibes of the golden era of rock at your fingertips. With this limited edition, you can channel the spirit and sound that shaped iconic performances, now available in a truly unique instrument.

This collection of 10 guitars is truly one-of-a-kind, blending visionary craftsmanship and Italian heritage to create a masterpiece that is as much an instrument as it is a work of art. Whether you’re a collector or a serious musician, this is your chance to own a piece of history — one that will never be available again.

The few remaining models are running out fast. This is a rare opportunity to secure a guitar that embodies not just outstanding performance and look, but the passion and legacy of two master luthiers. Act now, as once these are gone, they will never be reproduced.
