Patina guitars PS-3 FRD - fiesta red

The PATINA GUITARS PS-3 FRD is an electric guitar that combines tradition and innovation, offering impeccable quality at an affordable price. It’s a true opportunity for musicians of all skill levels looking for an instrument with a vintage style and exceptional performance.

Overview

Although Patina Guitars is a newcomer to the traditional electric guitar and bass market, the brand—judging by the quality of its products—seems firmly committed to establishing itself in the entry-level and mid-range price segments. The selection of woods, pickups, and hardware is meticulously considered, elevating these instruments to the level of much more expensive models.

Carefully Selected Materials for Optimal Performance

The PATINA GUITARS PS-3 FRD stands out for its high-quality materials:

• Paulownia body
• Roasted maple neck
• Rosewood fingerboard
• Hand-wound AlNiCo V pickups
• Stainless steel frets
• Alpha potentiometers
• Locking tuners
• Bone nut

The finishes are equally impressive, featuring a nitrocellulose lacquer comparable to that of major brands like Fender or Gibson USA, as well as luminescent inlays along the edge of the neck.

A Revolutionary Wood Species for Superior Sound

Acclaimed by the world’s leading luthiers, Paulownia is poised to become a benchmark wood that has every chance of replacing ash. Extremely lightweight and visually appealing, Paulownia offers impressive resonance. Here are its main tonal characteristics:

• Warm mids
• Clear bass
• Mellow highs

In short, it combines the best of both worlds—ash and alder—producing a rich and nuanced sound.

The Benefits of Toasting for Increased Durability

In addition to giving the wood an elegant patina, the torrefaction process improves the instrument’s stability and sustain. This technique also protects the guitar from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mold, ensuring exceptional longevity.
