A PS4 Designed as a "Modern S": Classic Spirit, Today's Improvements

The Patina Guitars PS4 OW embodies the idea of a modernized "S" style electric guitar: familiar ergonomics with performance-oriented choices. It features a very current recipe combining a paulownia body (lightweight and resonant), a torrefied maple neck (stability, snappy response), and a gear package built for intensive playing: stainless steel frets, locking tuners, and simple yet effective electronics (1 volume, 2 tone) to stay intuitive on stage and in the studio.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

With its "Modern C" neck, relatively flat radius, and 22 jumbo stainless steel frets, the PS4 OW is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a precise, durable, and comfortable instrument over time. However, it remains accessible to motivated beginners looking for a stable, easy-to-setup guitar capable of evolving with their technique.

The HSS configuration makes it very comfortable in styles that often switch registers: pop, funk, rock, blues, indie, worship, as well as heavier genres (hard rock, punk, modern heavy rock). The vibrato (tremolo) adds an expressive palette for wide vibratos, nuances, and more "singing" effects.

Sound Character: HSS Handwound, Fast Attack, and Great Versatility

The paulownia body generally provides a lightweight feel and lively response, with good acoustic resonance that translates into a sharp attack when plugged in. Paired with the torrefied maple neck, the instrument is responsive with immediate dynamics: ideal for precise rhythms, chord playing, and passages where articulation matters. The rosewood fingerboard balances the tone by adding a touch of warmth in the highs and a comfortable feel.

Regarding pickups, the custom handwound HSS set broadens the sonic range: single-coil positions are perfect for detailed clean tones, defined arpeggios, and funk/pop rhythms. The humbucker, rated at 7k / 16k depending on position, delivers higher output and density for overdriven tones, solos, and riffs. The Alnico V magnets provide a sound that is both powerful and precise, with presence in the mix. The Alpha pots and 1 Volume, 2 Tone controls allow quick tone shaping: you can move from a snappy crunch to smoother saturation simply by adjusting volume and tone knobs.

Finally, the 22 jumbo stainless steel frets (with rounded edges) contribute to the "premium" feel: smooth bends, clear attack, and increased longevity. The relatively flat radius helps maintain room for bends and supports a modern action without excessive fret buzz, provided the setup is appropriate.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original specifications, use a set of Daddario EXL 110 strings in 10-46 gauge (matching the indicated setup). For a 6-string electric guitar, a standard 6.35 mm jack cable and picks are perfect essentials for both stage and home use.
