PATINA PT-3 Black Electric Guitar
The PATINA PT-3 Black delivers classic single-cutaway simplicity with the bite, snap and twang this style of guitar is known for. Its two custom handwound Alnico V single-coil pickups produce clear, defined tones that cut through a mix without becoming thin or harsh.
From clean country lines and blues rhythms to gritty rock and driven lead tones, the PT-3 responds with plenty of character. A lightweight paulownia body, satin roasted maple neck and straightforward controls make it a practical guitar that feels familiar from the first chord.
Everything this guitar needs. Nothing it doesn’t. Vintage soul. Modern value.
Classic Single-Coil Bite
The PT-3’s custom handwound Alnico V pickups capture the direct, responsive sound players expect from a traditional two-pickup single-cutaway guitar. The bridge position offers plenty of bite and twang, while the neck pickup provides a warmer sound for blues, rhythm work and smoother lead tones.
A simple one-volume, one-tone control layout makes it easy to shape your sound without unnecessary complication.
A Finish That Ages with You
The Black nitrocellulose finish is designed to develop natural checking and wear over time. Instead of remaining perfectly uniform, it will gradually take on the marks and character of the way you play, making every PT-3 increasingly individual.
Its paulownia body also keeps the guitar comfortably lightweight for rehearsals, recording sessions and long sets.
Comfortable from the First Chord
A quarter-sawn roasted maple neck with a satin finish provides a smooth, broken-in feel without the stickiness sometimes associated with gloss necks. The familiar Modern C profile suits a wide range of playing styles and hand sizes.
The rosewood fingerboard has a 13.75-inch radius and 22 jumbo stainless steel frets with rounded edges. These durable frets provide a smooth playing surface while resisting wear and developing fewer dead spots over time. Luminescent side dots also help you stay oriented when stage lighting is low.
Simple and Dependable Hardware
A fixed bridge provides a solid foundation for tuning stability, sustain and straightforward maintenance. Chrome locking tuners with a precise 1:19 ratio make string changes quicker and help the guitar stay in tune through bends and energetic performances.
A bone nut and double-action truss rod complete a practical setup designed for reliable everyday playing.
