A beautiful Brazilian Rosewood Iris Guitar DF! This guitar is a showstopper constructed with solid Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and a special Stika Spruce top from the Rhode Island Guild Factory old supply stock - that's equal parts innovation, nostalgia, and craftsmanship. The DF Model is named after Iris co-founder Dale Fairbanks, this slope shoulder dreadnought gives a nod to the legacy of the iconic J-45.
This one of a kind specially constructed IRIS DF was created specifically for the 2022 International Fretboard Summit in Chicago.
The guitar has 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 and opens the tonal experience allowing the tonewoods more freedom of movement. The Katalox fingerboard on the Mahogany neck is smooth under your fingertips with a 25" scale length. Iris utilizes a bolt-on mortise and tenon neck joint, ensuring durability and improving the resonance of the perfectly aged Old Guild Stock Spruce and the uncanny tone of Brazilian Rosewood. The Guitar keeps it tuning stable with Golden Age Relic Brass Tuners, whose off-white buttons add a vintage touch. The Ivoroid binding and throw back 60’s style pickguard are just the icing on the cake, adding an air of elegance and grandeur to this already stunning instrument. Additionally, this DF has been set-up with an LR Braggs Lyric pickup added to the guitar and it functions flawlessly. Other than this adjustment, the guitar is as Adam set it up for the show.
In conclusion, this Iris DF Brazilian one-off model is more than an acoustic guitar—it is shining example of tradition design meeting innovation. This guitar comes with the original Iris hardshell case from TKL, it is an investment that is guaranteed to age like fine wine.
