Ivison Korina Dakota One Heavy Aged TV Yellow

Description

This Dakota One from Ivison Guitars is based on the Korina Dakota One specification best known for being wielded by Guns n’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus, who was instrumental in working with the Ivison Guitars team on the design of the guitar. The pairing of the high/mid tone sweetness of Korina, with the snarl and spank of the Ivison Freebird pickup is an inspired combination. The result is a real stripped down rocker of a guitar that demands to be played with gusto. The TV Yellow finish on this version of the Dakota One has been heavily aged to create a played-in vibe that lets the amber beauty of the korina wood to show through.

Comes with a Hiscox hardcase and certificate of authenticity.

As a special bonus, we’re also including a £200 custom handcrafted premium leather Ivison Aviator guitar strap, by Lost Soul Leather, with complementary pale yellow stitching and stamped with the guitar serial number, free with this Dakota!
