Short Description:

A Beautiful Iris DF Natural with a Sitka Spruce Top!

What We Think:

The Iris DF Natural #1463 is a brand-new instrument that captures the heart of handmade craftsmanship with a voice that feels instantly familiar. Featuring a Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, this guitar offers a warm, articulate tone with remarkable balance and clarity. Its scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing brings out a lively responsiveness, while the open-pore satin nitro finish allows the wood to resonate with a natural, unrestrained character. Every element — from the bone nut and saddle to the vintage-style brass tuners and tortoise appointments — reflects Iris’s dedication to quality and simplicity. Light in weight yet rich in sound, this DF Natural plays effortlessly and sings with soulful resonance straight out of the case. Complete with a sturdy TKL hardshell case, it’s a timeless companion for players who appreciate authenticity, tone, and the unmistakable feel of a finely crafted American guitar.

Manufacturer Description:

A classic slope shouldered dreadnought named after Iris co-founder, Dale Fairbanks.

“It was shortly after Adam’s conception of Iris Guitar Company that I was invited to join and help with it’s development. The first model, the OG, was soon followed by my personal favorite guitar design that we named after myself: the DF. A slope shouldered dreadnought modeled closely after depression era guitars coming out of Kalamazoo during the mid and late ‘30’s, it offers the perfect combo of grit, funk and warmth.” - Dale Fairbanks
