A real hype has developed around Panucci guitars and quite rightly so. Here you get sound and playability that you can otherwise only get from competitor guitars, some of which cost twice as much. Here we also have a '59 Inspired in the finest version with three extra options: the body is made of Honduras mahogany, the “super top” has a fabulous grain and the fingerboard is made of Brazilian Rosewood (including CITES). The in-house Panucci 59s are used as pickups, which emphasize the trebles more strongly compared to the famous competition from Nashville. This really comes very close to the old PAFs. The guitar also sounds incredibly woody and three-dimensional - a real joy, whether clean or distorted. The neck also nails the feel of a '59 Burst with its medium profile. Thanks to the perfectly aligned frets the '59 Inspired plays so smoothly that you'll have to find a vintage original that comes close. The cherry on top is the dream weight of just under 3.7 kg. The only downer with Panuccis: not even 30 are built each year. So it's time to grab one when the opportunity arises! The guitar is in top condition.
