If there would be an Italian Custom Shop it certainly would be in Florence. This is the home of Fabrizio Paoletti and he makes incredible guitars! Good enough for people like Richie Sambora, Richard Fortus and Phil X. We encountered these guitars recently and were really blown away by them. Fabrizio is completely dedicated to his art: Part craftsman, part artist and part musician, He’s really the best at what he does, and he pours all of his passion, hard-earned knowledge and skill into every instrument he builds. We are now dealer for the Benelux and there are more of these guitars coming in soon!
