Origin Series • Build No. 002

The guitar that explored a different path.

Origin Series

Built in 2024, Build No. 002 represents another important chapter in the evolution of Noceti Custom Guitars.

Following my first complete scratch build, this instrument gave me the opportunity to explore a different design philosophy. It introduced a new body shape, a new headstock design, and a 25-inch scale length while continuing to build upon the craftsmanship and lessons learned from Build No. 001.

Featuring a one-piece ribbon sapele body, a solid pau ferro neck, hand-wound Noceti PAF humbuckers, and a hidden onboard Tone Bender MkII fuzz circuit, Build No. 002 blends classic simplicity with original design ideas that remain unique within the Noceti lineup.

As part of the Origin Series, this guitar documents another milestone in the evolution of Noceti Custom Guitars and will never be built again in this exact form.

History

Built in 2024, Build No. 002 reflects an intentional exploration of a different design direction for Noceti Custom Guitars.

Rather than simply refining my first scratch build, this instrument introduced an entirely new body shape, headstock design, and 25-inch scale length while continuing to develop the craftsmanship, construction methods, and custom electronics that define the early evolution of the brand.

Although this design has not yet become part of the current Production Models lineup, it represents an important chapter in the Noceti story and reflects my commitment to exploring new ideas in pursuit of better instruments.
