Patina - PJ-3 CAR Candy Apple Red

The Patina Guitars PJ-3 Candy Apple Red is a guitar that immediately catches the eye with its double-cutaway offset body and vibrant red finish. But behind its vintage look lies a design tailored for guitarists who want a versatile instrument full of character. It’s got that certain something that makes you want to play!

Its paulownia body ensures a lightweight and comfortable build, ideal for long sessions without the guitar weighing down on your shoulder. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish will naturally develop over time, revealing the signs of wear that make each instrument unique. The satin-finished, roasted maple neck with a Modern C profile offers a comfortable grip, whilst the rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth feel under the fingers. The 22 rounded-edge stainless steel jumbo frets add even more comfort, whilst offering excellent resistance to wear and tear.

The two custom-built Alnico V P90 pickups give this PJ-3 its distinctive character. The neck pickup delivers a warm, full-bodied tone, perfect for clean chords and more ethereal soundscapes, whilst the bridge pickup offers a crisper attack with plenty of presence.

With just two P90s, you can easily switch from a bright indie sound to thicker rhythmic tones with effects or distortion. The offset vibrato adds movement to your playing, whilst the locking tuners improve tuning stability. The luminous side markers are also a real bonus for playing comfortably on stage when the lights go down. A guitar with a true vintage soul, but designed with the needs of today’s musicians in mind!
