I was super excited to become a dealer and order these Iris guitars … hand made in Vermont under the seasoned watch of Adam Buchwald (formerly with Froggy Bottom) and Dale Fairbanks (Fairbanks Guitars), simply yet elegantly appointed with satin finishes, with a nod to vintage depression era flattop tones and at a very reasonable price point.
This is the MS-00, in a Cremona burst with an ivoroid pickguard, designed with the aid of Mark Stutman. This one is customized with a 1 3/4 nut. Beautiful sunburst. Scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing, a bolt-on mortise and tenon neck, 2 7/32 bridge spacing, Indian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, open pore sating nitrocellulose finish, bone nut and saddle and Golden Age relic brass tuners. With TKL case.
Iris says: “This mid-thirties style guitar, with its short scale, is a wonderful complement to our line of small bodied Iris.”
Here is a nice demo:
