Just played my first Iris guitar and dang me! WOW!
For those who know me I'm a nit about acoustic guitars and I've been blessed to play some just stellar instruments over the years.
I recently took a 2022 Iris DF in in trade. It is Red Spruce over Mahogany. I just put a new set of strings on it and was shocked. I've not heard many guitars as responsive and powerful as this one for under $5k let alone under $3k and made in the US. I'm very very impressed!! Those guys are going to sell a lot of instruments if they can keep consistently producing guitars like this. Anyway I just wanted to share quick. Here's a quick video I did of it. https://youtu.be/NgwP6BfjcVo |
They really are terrific. If I had any holes in my collection whatsoever, I'd be looking at them.
Their AB model is one of the best looking guitars in production today as far as I'm concerned. |
2022...goes to prove that guitarists do not always keep great sounding instruments....:)

I placed an order just 2 weeks ago for an Iris ND-200 jumbo with that exact timber combination - Mahogany/Red Spruce.
Should look like this one. https://i.imgur.com/qdPMKjHl.jpg |
I consistently hear nothing but good things about Iris guitars Bobby. Looking forward to playing one someday...

I'm lucky to live down the street from them. Ben & Bucky’s Guitar Boutique is next to the factory now as well. I expect they will be getting more Iris, Circle Strings and Fairbanks guitars in stock as well as consignments and their collection of vintage electrics. I met Ben and he seems to be a really nice guy. If you decide to visit or call, please tell him I said hi!

That's pretty cool that you have been impressed by Iris guitars, Bobby! You have had a lot of stellar instruments in your hands over the years. :guitar:
I have never had a chance to play one; I am looking forward to it. :up: - Glenn |

They are just wonderful guitars. Here is the beautiful maple on a spruce/Maple OG I got here recently. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/m9...-no?authuser=0
