"Everything about The Dakota oozes quality and classic craft, with a wonderful feel and sounds to match. Another Level."

GUITARIST MAGAZINE, JULY, 2025

The Dakota was inspired by my love of the classic tones of Johnny Winter and Allen Collins (Lynyrd Skynyrd).

Envisaged as the soul of the radical mid 60s, auto inspired classics with a more ergonomic, manageable vintage Single Cut feel.

"A Modern Classic in the making"
