Description

Ivison Guitars is a small, boutique electric guitar company based in Worcestershire, UK.  All Ivison guitars are hand built, one at a time by Neil Ivison, from raw lumber selection to the final hand buffed ‘vintage patina’ finish using the finest quality materials available and using traditional construction methods and techniques. 

The Dakota was inspired by Neil’s love of the classic tones of Johnny Winter and Allen Collins (Lynyrd Skynyrd).  Envisaged as the soul of the radical mid 60’s, auto inspired classics with a more ergonomic, manageable vintage Single Cut feel, it features a mahogany construction with a raised centre block and ‘wings’, one piece Honduran mahogany neck, bound Indian rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, vintage 12 degree headstock angle,  aged Faber wraparound bridge and hardware and  premium CTS & Switchcraft components. This Dakota is finished in classic Heavy Aged Polaris White with authentic lacquer cracking, authentic wear marks and dings.

This Dakota is one of the latest generation examples of the Dakota with the brand new Ivison in-house manufactured pickups – a development that allows the Ivison team to tune the pickups specifically to suit the guitar. This guitar features the super sweet Ivison Freebird set, Firebird-inspired pickups, modelled on a stunning sounding mid 60’s set of mini humbuckers. A unique design in it’s own right, the Freebird sounds closer to a single coil than a full fat humbucker, with a tight bass response, less growl than a standard mini humbucker but more spank and clarity in the top end. Ivison wind them 100% true to vintage specs; 42 AWG plain enamel wire, maple spacers and nylon bobbins.

Comes with a Hiscox hardcase and certificate of authenticity.
