T-style HS – 3-Tone Sunburst Satin Nitro, Wide Range Humbucker
This Dina Custom Shop build delivers an exceptional balance of vintage warmth, precision chime, and Telecaster twang. Anchored by an Alder body in a thin, resonant 3-tone sunburst satin nitro finish, this guitar is built for high-end playability and incredible sonic versatility. At the heart of this build is a custom-wound set from The Creamery, hand-crafted in Manchester, UK. Renowned worldwide in boutique guitar circles for unmatched tone, clarity, and vintage-accurate craftsmanship, The Creamery is run by master winder Jaime Campbell. Each set is individually wound to order rather than pulled off an assembly line, ensuring every nuance of note separation, dynamic touch sensitivity, and harmonic depth shines through. Paired together, the resonant tonewoods and boutique Manchester-wound coils give this instrument an inspiring, stage-ready voice.
