Patina PS-3, Sherwood Green Nitro Overview
The Patina PS-3 captures everything players love about classic triple single-coil double-cut guitars while adding thoughtful modern upgrades. Built with a lightweight paulownia body finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer, the PS-3 delivers lively resonance, crisp attack and an open response that develops character as the finish wears and ages. Its elegant finish pairs vintage-inspired style with understated modern simplicity, while the classic SSS pickup layout produces the familiar snap, sparkle and expressive in-between tones that have shaped decades of recordings.
The quarter-sawn roasted maple neck features a satin finish that feels immediately comfortable and naturally broken in, while the rosewood fretboard and jumbo stainless steel frets support smooth bends, accurate fretting and exceptional durability. Handwound Alnico V pickups deliver articulate cleans, focused driven tones and detailed note separation. A stable tremolo bridge and locking tuners provide dependable tuning control through bends and expressive vibrato use, while luminous side dots improve visibility during live performances.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionClassic triple single-coil character
The PS-3 delivers the unmistakable sound associated with triple single-coil electric guitars, offering crisp articulation, bright attack and expressive in-between pickup tones. Its custom handwound Alnico V pickups provide the snap and chime needed for clean rhythm work while retaining enough body and focus for overdriven tones and lead playing. In-between positions produce the familiar quack and glassy textures that have become essential across blues, indie, funk, pop and rock music. The pickups remain detailed and responsive without becoming overly sharp or brittle, helping the guitar sit naturally within a mix.
Lightweight body with nitro resonance
Constructed from paulownia, the PS-3 feels lightweight and highly resonant, making it comfortable for long rehearsals, gigs and recording sessions. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the body to breathe and resonate more openly than heavier synthetic finishes, contributing to the guitar's lively acoustic response and dynamic feel. Over time, the finish will naturally develop checking and wear that reflect the player's individual use, giving the instrument unique visual character. This carefully applied nitro finish enhances the guitar's understated vintage-inspired appearance.
Comfortable roasted maple neck design
The quarter-sawn roasted maple neck is designed to feel smooth and immediately familiar from the first time you pick it up. Its satin finish removes the sticky sensation often associated with gloss necks, making for a comfortable playing experience. The Modern C profile balances comfort and speed, while the rosewood fretboard and 13.75" radius allow smooth bending and controlled vibrato. Luminous side dot markers provide improved visibility on darker stages, making it easy to see what you're doing at gigs, no matter what the lighting conditions may be!
Built for reliability and performance
The PS-3 combines vintage-inspired feel with modern hardware upgrades aimed at dependable professional use. Jumbo stainless steel frets resist wear far more effectively than traditional nickel fret wire, maintaining accurate intonation and smooth playability over years of heavy use. The tremolo bridge is designed for stable operation and reliable return to pitch, while chrome locking tuners with a 1:19 ratio improve tuning consistency during bends and expressive vibrato playing. Loaded with D’Addario EXL110 strings straight from the factory, the PS-3 is ready for studio work, rehearsals and live performance immediately.
