Southern Guitars is proud to be an “Authorized Dealer” for Ivison Guitars. Neil Ivison builds some of the absolute finest guitars we’ve had the pleasure of playing! Incredible playability, tone, feel, and the fit and finish is top notch!
The Hurricane combines my favorite elements of the single cut guitars that were being made at 225 Parsons St, Kalamazoo, Michigan in the late 50s - the maple topped sunburst and the stripped back, slab body guitars.
