Dhatarattha Performance DST – Black over Paisley

🎸 Dhatarattha Performance DST – Black over Paisley (Relic Finish)

The Performance DST is a handcrafted, dual-humbucker tone machine built for players who demand vintage character with modern reliability.

This model features a quarter-sawn roasted maple neck, a rosewood fretboard, and a relic’d nitro finish in Black over classic paisley—a sleek and moody aesthetic with tonal clarity and boutique craftsmanship.

Paired with hand-wound Laohao Alnico V humbuckers, the DST delivers bell-like clarity and harmonically rich drive tones. Push/pull pots unlock Strat-style single coil tones, while full copper shielding ensures whisper-quiet performance.

Every DST undergoes a complete setup before shipping: leveled and polished frets, precise intonation, and ultra-low action. From workshop to stage, this guitar is ready.
