PATINA PS-7 HSS Relic Lake Placid Blue Electric Guitar
The PATINA PS-7 HSS Relic combines classic double-cutaway versatility with the look and feel of a well-played favourite. Its Lake Placid Blue nitrocellulose finish features authentic-looking wear and checking from day one, giving you vintage character without worrying about that first ding.
Two custom handwound Alnico V single-coils deliver shimmer and clarity through the neck and middle positions, while the bridge humbucker adds the muscle needed for heavier rhythm work and lead tones. From sparkling cleans to gritty rock sounds, the PS-7 remains clear and responsive.
Everything this guitar needs. Nothing it doesn’t. Vintage soul. Modern value.
Vintage Character from Day One
The relic nitrocellulose finish gives the PS-7 the appearance of an instrument that has spent years on stages and in studios. Beneath the finish, its lightweight paulownia body keeps the guitar comfortable during long rehearsals, recording sessions and gigs.
Comfortable Roasted Maple Neck
A quarter-sawn roasted maple neck with a satin finish provides a smooth, played-in feel straight out of the box. The Modern C profile feels familiar without being overly chunky, while the rosewood fingerboard and 13.75-inch radius offer plenty of room for chords, bends and fast lead playing.
Its 22 jumbo stainless steel frets have rounded edges for added comfort and lasting smoothness. Luminescent side dots also make it easier to find your position on dark stages.
HSS Versatility with Alnico V Tone
The handwound HSS pickup configuration gives the PS-7 a broad tonal range. The neck and middle single-coils cover glassy cleans, blues and funk, while the powerful bridge humbucker brings extra punch for rock, alternative and higher-gain styles.
Alpha pots and a familiar one-volume, two-tone control layout make it easy to shape your sound without unnecessary complication.
Reliable Modern Hardware
Chrome locking tuners with an accurate 1:19 ratio make string changes quicker and help support tuning stability. A bone nut, tremolo bridge and double-action truss rod complete a practical setup designed for regular playing.

Who Is It For?
The PATINA PS-7 is ideal for players who want the familiar feel and flexibility of an HSS double-cutaway guitar with genuine vintage-inspired character. Its broad pickup range suits blues, pop, funk, indie, alternative and rock, while the modern neck and hardware make it a practical choice for regular gigging.
Our Take
The PS-7 gets the balance right. It looks convincingly aged, feels comfortable immediately and offers enough tonal range to cover almost any setlist. The roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets and locking tuners are particularly impressive additions at this price.
