Internationally renowned guitarist Remi Harris takes the Ivison Guitars Hurricane for a spin!

The Hurricane combines my favourite elements of the guitars that were being made at 225 Parsons St, Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1959;

The carved top sunburst 'Standard' and the stripped back 'Junior' and 'Special' slab body guitars.

Hand built from Premium Honduran and African Mahogany with an AAA Grade Indian Rosewood fingerboard, an ABS bound & subtly carved Eastern Maple flame top - joined with hot hide glue and urea formaldehyde as per the originals - houses a matched '59 PAF/P90 set of Sunbear Pickups, hand wound for us in the UK to sound as close as possible to an original 50's spec pickup.

The one piece neck uses the vintage correct 17 degree headstock angle whilst the profile is hand carved with templates taken directly from a 1956 guitar. Genuine 50's celluloid dots are used and the fingerboard edges are lightly rolled so it feels like a neck that has been played for years.

Finished with vintage correct aniline dyes in vintage formulated nitro-cellulose lacquer then faded and lightly aged, the Hurricane is designed to look, feel, sound and inspire like guitar from the 50's but behave like the modern, boutique handcrafted guitar it is.
