Patina guitars PS-6 SGR R - sherwood green relic

If you're looking for an electric guitar that combines high-quality craftsmanship with an affordable price, the PATINA GUITARS PS-6 SGR R might just be your next choice.

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 making a name for itself in the entry-level and mid-range price segments.

Carefully Selected Materials for an Authentic Sound

The choice of wood types, pickups, and hardware is no accident and is typically found in instruments that are significantly more expensive. Here are some of the key features of the PATINA GUITARS PS-6 SGR R:

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

High-end finishes for an authentic vintage style

The finishes are no exception, featuring nitrocellulose lacquer similar to that used by Fender or Gibson USA, combined with luminescent side inlays on the neck. If you’re drawn to the vintage look, this guitar’s Relic finish gives it a remarkably authentic appearance.

The benefits of Paulownia: lightness and tone

Acclaimed by leading guitar makers (Suhr, Sandberg), Paulownia is poised to become a benchmark wood that stands a good chance of replacing ash. Extremely lightweight, aesthetically appealing, and a fast-growing tree, Paulownia has it all:

• Stability and excellent resonance
• Impressive volume
• Warm midrange
• Clear bass
• Mellow highs

In short, it offers the best of both worlds—ash and alder. In addition to giving the wood an elegant patina, the torrefaction process improves the instrument’s stability, sustain, clarity, and resonance, while protecting it from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mold.
