IA
Matching classic styling with a modern twist. The lightweight, acoustic-style construction coupled with low output pickups equates to an extremely resonant and responsive electric guitar. The IA covers a huge dynamic tonal range from crystal clean to deep down and dirty.
The ribs or sides of the guitar are hand bent from a single piece of either Cherry or Walnut to match the back.
Light as a feather, the completed guitars typically weigh only 2kgs/4.4lbs depending on hardware choices. A perfect fit for the gigging musician fed up of lugging heavy gear and also for players with back issues.
The IA takes its name from St Ia, who floated across the Irish Sea on a leaf. She landed in Cornwall and gave her name to St Ives, the town I grew up in.
