Patina PS-3 Lake Blue

The Strat formula reinvented with stainless steel and nitro lacquer

The Patina PS-3 in Lake Blue is an electric guitar that combines the familiar Stratocaster blueprint with contemporary upgrades typically found only in a much higher price range. With a lightweight Paulownia body, a roasted maple neck, and a nitro finish, this guitar delivers a playing experience that feels instantly familiar, but offers just a little more than you expect.

The sound of the PS-3 is defined by three custom hand-wound single coil pickups with a 7k output and Alnico V magnets. This results in a clear, dynamic character with enough body to cut through well in a band context. The Alpha potentiometers ensure smooth, responsive control of volume and tone, while the tremolo system remains stable thanks to the locking tuners with a 1:19 ratio.

The neck is quarter-sawn and roasted, with a satin finish and a comfortable Modern C-shape. The rosewood fretboard has a flat 13.75" radius that makes bends easy, and the 22 jumbo stainless steel frets with rounded edges play smoothly without needing to be broken in. Luminous side dot inlays ensure you always know where you are, even on a dark stage. The nitro lacquer, bone nut, and chrome hardware complete the package with a cool, blue look that is timeless.
