Iris MS-00 Dark Burst Sitka - Indian Rosewood
SKU: Iris MS-00 BurstThe Iris MS-00 is a 14-fret 00 built to the proportions of a mid-1930s American parlour guitar, developed with Mark Stutman of Folkway Music - a dealer whose reputation rests on knowing Gibsons of that era better than almost anyone - and it took a Premier Gear award in 2024. This one departs from the standard mahogany build with East Indian Rosewood back and sides under a Sitka spruce top, which adds sustain and a deeper low end than a body this size usually gives up, while scalloped Adirondack bracing keeps it responsive to a light touch. The 24.75 inch scale and compact body make it an easy guitar to sit with for a long stretch. Finished in dark burst. Built by hand in Burlington, Vermont.
