As is well known we have been self-confessed Panucci fans for quite some time. Unfortunately these guitars are only produced in extremely small numbers and are therefore extremely rare. All the more we were happy when we opened the case of this '59-Inspired All-Gold with two homemade P90 pickups. The first thing that stands out here is the incredible aging. Angelo Merrienboer, the man behind the Panucci guitars, knows how to create an authentic aged look like no other, where you really think you have a guitar from the 50s in your hands. Countless hairline cracks and the playing marks are exactly in the right places. The woods used are mahogany for the body, hard maple for the top and vintage Indian rosewood for the fretboard. Together with the handwound Panucci P90s a sound is created here that simply gives you goosebumps. The absolute aha effect comes when you play the guitar on the amp. Incredibly resonant it is super direct and fast in response with a smacking tone, ...just pure Rock'n'Roll! Certainly one of the most awesome P90 Paulas we've played to date. The playability is of course unique again, the neck with the proven '59 medium profile fits perfectly in the hand and together with a dream weight of 3610 grams ensures a top playing experience. All around an absolutely exceptional guitar that meets the very highest sound, look and player requirements.
