Iris Guitar Company SG-11 Acoustic Guitar w/ Ivoroid Tuxedo Binding/Pickguard, All Black
The Iris Guitar Company’s SG-11 stands as a compelling homage to the depression-era budget guitars, exuding a vintage charm. The model is named after the company’s head of setup, Storm Gates. Its compact, square-shouldered design is a nod to the past, appealing to blues guitarists with its sweet, distinctive snarl. Enhanced with an x-bracing, it offers a fuller mid-range, making it an essential addition to any serious guitar player’s collection.
This particular iteration of the SG-11 comes in an all-black finish, contrasted with white binding and a pickguard, giving it a striking, tuxedo-like aesthetic. The body, top, back, and sides are all crafted from Mahogany, known for its warm, rich tones, and well-rounded sound. The Indian Rosewood fingerboard and Mahogany neck ensure a comfortable and smooth playability.
The SG-11 features Golden Age Relic Brass Tuners with off-white buttons, contributing to its vintage aesthetic while offering reliable tuning stability. The 25″ scale length and 1-11/16” bone nut fit comfortably in hand, promoting long hours of playing with ease. The scalloped Adirondack Spruce bracing enhances the sound projection and overall resonance of the guitar.
The guitar’s depth, measuring between 3-3/8” – 4″, combined with its slim body design, results in a comfortable playing experience without sacrificing on sound quality. Its hardshell TKL case ensures it stays protected during storage or travel.
