Iris works with a team of passionate guitar enthusiasts who, under the leadership of experienced luthiers Adam Buchwald and Dale Fairbanks, build modern guitars with a vintage sound and appearance. Iris guitars benefit from the extensive knowledge of the luthiers who have worked on the high-end instruments from Circle Strings, Froggy Bottom Guitars and Fairbanks Guitars, among others, and therefore Iris offers an incredible price-quality ratio. The guitars feel like a faithful companion that you have played for years, and they sound truly fabulous. Named after co-founder Dale Fairbanks, the DF is a slope shoulder dreadnought with a size similar to Gibson's J45. With a mahogany body and Sitka spruce top, the guitar has that typical sound that will give every singer-songwriter a warm feeling! To enhance the authentic feel of the guitars from the heyday, Iris Guitars goes one step further with an aged finish that gives the guitars a played-in feel. And to top it all off, Iris now offers the option to have the characteristic logo placed on the headstock in a more subdued version, partly thanks to our own Coen! The guitar comes with TFOA passport in a TKL hardshell case. Played by Radboud Withaar | Demo Gear: Ear Trumpet Labs Evelyn Stereo Microphone
