iVee Jr-Special Manggani II #100
Ivan Mulia makes guitars unlike anything else out there. With workmanship that is on a level that seems almost impossible, it is apparent from the moment you are near one of these guitars that you are in the presence of magic. Yet in spite of their other worldly quality iVee guitars are clearly the products of down-to-earth passion. There's no "artisan" intimidation factor here, just honesty in its purist form.

Every curve of the etchings and the placement of every fret is somehow "musical." And that's even before you plug one in or pick one up to play it.Ivan Mulia of iVee guitars is truly Indonesia's best kept secret.Some cultural background from Ivan MuliaIt is known that the Hindus called Sumatra Swarna Dwipa (the island of gold), the place that became their destination in their search for gold.
