Iris MS-00 12-Fret All Black Relic

Since its debut in 2022, the Iris MS-00 has enjoyed growing popularity. This model was developed in close collaboration with Mark Stutman of "Folkway Music" and subsequently named after him. Mark Stutman is known as an expert on vintage Gibson guitars of the 30s and 40s, and his knowledge was instrumental in the development of the Iris MS-00. Inspired by vintage 00 models, this instrument skilfully captures the charm of the coveted role models.

We have chosen some individual specifications on this fantastic model. The 12-fret construction teases even more bass frequencies and sound volume out of the small body. The guitar is also wrapped in an all-black relic finish! The relic is a light aged finish that is characterized by fine lacquer cracks. To create a nice contrast, the bindings and pickguard are kept in white.

The perfect guitar for fingerpicking, blues or light strumming! With its all black relic finish, you actually feel like you're holding a real vintage guitar in your hands!
