I recently sold an old Louis Patenotte for AU$600 (US$475). That was the best offer I could get. Showing a bit of age, but solid and very loud - see photo - I thought it a great guitar but for some reason (label snobbery) these do not get the big bucks.
Chicago's Alfonso Ponticelli used a Patenotte for years as his main GJ axe. It sure sounded fine in his hands. I don't think I realized how underappreciated they are...
