Hi folks, I haven't been posting here much recently, been very busy building guitars (a good thing of course!) so here's a couple that i'm taking to The Guitar Show with me this weekend which will be available for sale:

'58 DC in Aged & Faded Cherry:

My new 'Fillmore' Model named in tribute to my hero Steve Marriott, it's based on a '63 Coronet that @guitars4you owns and was kind enough to let me take the vitals from...

Aged Shoreline Gold:

Played the Coronet at the recent Brum Show - It looks supa cool - I own the original that Neil 'borrowed' to take down the dimensions etc - You can argue all day long about the merits of a vintage guitar, but the Ivison Coronet played superbly and far more 'slick 'n' fluent' than my original version - Congrats

What would be the time frame from ordering to getting the finished guitar?

IvisonGuitars · March 2020

Thanks for the kind words chaps!

@fnpt ;At the moment, I'm working on an approx. 4 month build time from placing an order.

99% of my builds are built to order but I do have Cherry '58 DC above available now at £2299 inc Hiscox case plus shipping.
