Iris D-WH Natural

Established in 2018 as a division of Circle Strings, Iris Guitar Company is a small team of highly skilled and seasoned luthiers who are dedicated to building a modern instrument that captures vintage-inspired tone and aesthetics. Iris guitars are handmade using a combination of state of the art techniques and old world craftsmanship. The model line represents our interpretation of depression era flattops, admired guitars from the mid century, and are meant to serve the everyday musician. For this, we have taken measures to provide an instrument that is simple, reliable, and elegant all at an affordable price point. In fact, you're probably going to want two Iris guitars at this rate.

Introducing: The Dread Will Hylton, D-WH Model, named after our Chief CNC Wizard (his real job title). Being the first square-shoulder dreadnought by Iris, with an advanced scale length, the D-WH produces strong and focused tonal qualities. Iris’s take on a classic proves to be bold and sturdy, just like Will Hylton.
