Patina Guitars

This is a no-brainer when it comes to giving you - our customers, access to great quality gear without paying over-the-odds. 

Patina Guitars offers affordable nitro finish electric guitars designed for players who want vintage tone, feel and character without the custom shop price tag.

Designed and engineered in Europe, built to exacting standards in Asia, Patina Guitars deliver the tone, feel and character of vintage instruments without the custom shop price tag.

Nitrocellulose finishes. Stainless steel frets. Alnico V pickups. Premium features normally reserved for instruments that cost the same as a used car. We make them standard.

Every Patina is hand-finished in genuine nitrocellulose lacquer, normally found only on vintage and high-end guitars. Real nitro breathes and ages honestly, checking, wearing, becoming uniquely yours.

We pair it with hardware most brands save for their top tiers: stainless steel frets that won’t wear out, locking tuners, modern two-point tremolo, bone nut, Alpha pots, and custom-wound Alnico V pickups voiced for clarity and bite.

The shapes are from the golden age of guitar making, built with modern precision. Some models are lightly reliced for that authentic vintage look. Others arrive untouched, ready to earn their character through playing.

The guitar you’ve been waiting for just became the guitar you can afford.

Vintage soul. Modern value.
