Patina Guitars

Patina Guitars bring genuine nitrocellulose finishes to a price point where they’re usually hard to find. Designed and engineered in Europe and built in Asia, the range takes familiar, vintage-inspired electric guitar shapes and adds features more commonly associated with premium instruments, including stainless steel frets, locking tuners, bone nuts and custom-wound Alnico V pickups.

Every Patina guitar is hand-finished in nitrocellulose lacquer, allowing the finish to develop natural checking, wear and character over time. Players who want the aged look straight away can explore the 6 and 7 Series, which feature road worn nitro finishes, while the 3 and 4 Series arrive with a cleaner nitro finish that can build its own patina through years of playing. Across the range, you’ll find SSS and HSS Stratocaster-style guitars alongside dual single-coil Telecaster-style models, combining golden-era inspiration with modern hardware and playability.

Explore Patina Guitars online or in-store at Riffs & Licks Music if you’re looking for an affordable nitro guitar without stepping into traditional high-end or custom shop pricing. Whether you’re chasing a clean nitro Strat-style or Tele-style guitar, or the broken-in character of an aged road worn nitro finish, Patina offers vintage soul with modern value.
