Ivison Korina Dakota

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. This Korina Dakota also evokes the spirit of those late 50s futuristic models,  featuring a 3 piece Korina body construction with a raised centre block and ‘wings’, one piece Korina neck, bound Indian rosewood fingerboard with celluloid dots, vintage 12 degree headstock angle, a pair of exceptional hand wound Sunbear Vintage Wind PAF Humbucker pickups, aged Faber wraparound bridge and hardware and  premium CTS & Switchcraft components.

Comes with a Hiscox hardcase and certificate of authenticity.
