Description
The PS-3 delivers the iconic sound and feel that have made the three single coil, double cutaway design a timeless favourite. Renowned for its snap, chime and unmistakable “quack” tones, this guitar excels in both crystal-clear clean sounds and tight, articulate driven tones. Whether you’re laying down rich rhythm parts or expressive lead lines, the PS-3 offers unparalleled versatility.
Its roasted maple neck with a smooth satin finish paired with a rosewood fingerboard feels naturally comfortable, inviting you to play with ease from the very first note. The lightweight paulownia body finished in nitrocellulose lacquer resonates freely and ages gracefully, developing unique character as it naturally wears over time. Stainless steel jumbo frets ensure durability and smooth playability, while the stable tremolo bridge and locking chrome tuners keep your tuning rock-solid – even during aggressive bends and vibrato.
Custom hand wound Alnico V pickups deliver a perfect balance of clarity, bite and warmth without harshness, ideal for capturing vintage soul with modern reliability. Luminescent side dot inlays provide excellent visibility on dimly lit stages, so you stay perfectly oriented no matter the environment.
Everything you need for authentic vintage tone and dependable performance is here, with nothing superfluous. The PS-3 is your perfect partner for both studio and stage.
