Iris Guitar Company DF Model Acoustic Guitar, Adirondack Spruce Top, Burst
Behold the Iris Guitar Company DF Model Acoustic Guitar, a showstopper that’s equal parts innovation, nostalgia, and craftsmanship. Named after Iris co-founder Dale Fairbanks, this slope shoulder dreadnought gives a nod to the legacy of the iconic J-45.Â
Firstly, let’s admire the choice of materials that gives this model its acoustic signature. An Adirondack Spruce top forms the face of this guitar, known for its resonance and ideal for players who require a wide dynamic range. This is complemented by the Mahogany back and sides, a classic combination that results in a balanced tone with crisp highs and meaty lows. The guitar is adorned with an open pore, natural satin Nitrocellulose Iced Tea Burst finish that brings out the wood’s natural beauty and enhances the instrument’s aging process.Â
In the hands, the guitar’s profile and playability stand out. The Indian Rosewood fingerboard on a Mahogany neck is smooth under your fingertips, enabling speedy navigation across the 25″ scale length. For its unique tonal transfer, Iris utilizes a bolt-on mortise and tenon neck joint, ensuring durability and improving resonance.Â
Keeping your tuning stability in check are Golden Age Relic Brass Tuners, whose off-white buttons add a vintage touch. The Ivoroid binding and Firestripe pickguard are just the icing on the cake, adding an air of elegance and grandeur to this already stunning instrument.Â
In conclusion, the Iris Guitar Company DF Model is more than an acoustic guitar—it’s a testament to where tradition meets innovation. Complete with a hardshell TKL case, it’s an investment that’s guaranteed to age like fine wine.Â
