The Crucianelli Supreme is a vintage Italian-made electric guitar featuring a distinctive silver sparkle pearloid celluloid covering, chrome hardware and the unconventional styling associated with Italian guitar manufacturing of the 1960s.
The body features a plywood construction with a decorative celluloid covering, paired with a three-piece maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. A 24.75" scale length, 21 frets and relatively wide 1.75" nut provide a distinctive playing feel, while the zero-fret design establishes the open-string height independently of the nut.
The Supreme's construction reflects the experimental approach to electric guitar design adopted by Italian manufacturers during the 1960s, combining striking finishes with unconventional hardware and electronics arrangements.
