Patina PS-3 Olympic White

The Strat Formula Reimagined with Stainless Steel and Nitro Finish

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

The PS-3's sound 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 in a band context. Alpha potentiometers provide smooth, responsive control over volume and tone, while the tremolo system remains stable thanks to the locking Sperzel-style 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 ends 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 finish, bone nut, and chrome hardware complete the package with a classic look befitting the name Olympic White.
