Iris D-WH Model Adirondack Top w/ WJ Watson

A division of Circle Strings in Burlington, Vermont, Iris Guitar Company is a small team of seasoned luthiers, dedicated to building modern instruments that capture vintage-inspired tone and aesthetics. Iris Guitars are handmade using a combination of state of the art techniques and old-world craftsmanship. Introduced at NAMM 2024, the D-WH is Iris' first attempt at a square-shoulder dreadnought. Named after Will Hylton, Iris' Chief of CNC, the D-WH has a full 25-1/2" scale length. With an Adirondack top and Indian Rosewood back and sides, this iconic template produces bold, focused tone.  We were impressed by the D-WH Iris brought to NAMM, so we ordered this one (serial #1017) with the exact same specs. It features an Adirondack Spruce Top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, and a way-cool WJ Watson western handmade pickguard. From there, the bone nut measures 1-11/16", and the neck profile is a comfortable round carve. Like every Iris, it comes with a bone saddle, and Golden Age Restora
