Patina guitars PS-4 OW - olympic white

The PATINA GUITARS PS-4 OW is much more than just an entry-level electric guitar. With attention to detail and build quality that rival much more expensive models, it is designed for discerning musicians seeking an authentic and nuanced sound.

Overview

Although Patina Guitars is a newcomer to the traditional electric guitar and bass market, the brand seems determined to make its mark in the entry-level and mid-range price segments. The meticulous selection of woods, pickups, and hardware reveals a careful approach usually reserved for more expensive instruments.

High-Quality Materials for Exceptional Sound

The PATINA GUITARS PS-4 OW is crafted from carefully selected materials to deliver a rich and balanced sound:

• Paulownia body, for its lightness and resonance
• Roasted maple neck, for enhanced stability
• Rosewood fingerboard, for optimal playing comfort
• Hand-wound AlNiCo V pickups, for generous and well-defined distortion
• Stainless steel frets, for exceptional durability
• Alpha potentiometers and locking tuners, for precise adjustment
• Bone nuts, for better vibration transmission

Impeccable finish and practical details

The finishes on the PATINA GUITARS PS-4 OW are on par with those of the leading brands: a nitrocellulose lacquer enhances the instrument’s aesthetic while preserving its tone. In addition, the luminescent inlays on the neck add a practical touch for playing in low-light conditions.

A versatile sound for all styles

With its HSS pickup configuration—including a humbucking pickup at the bridge—this guitar is perfect for fans of hard rock and even metal. Paulownia wood, often favored by leading luthiers such as Suhr and Sandberg, offers an impressive tonal range:

• Warm mids
• Clear bass
• Mellow highs

A roasting process for enhanced durability

The wood-toasting process gives the PATINA GUITARS PS-4 OW an elegant patina and improves its stability, sustain, clarity, and resonance. This treatment also protects the instrument from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mold, ensuring its longevity.
