The Iris RCM-OOO ‘Blacktop’ is a refined, boutique 12-fret 000 designed for players who value balance, responsiveness, and understated vintage character. Featuring a slimmed-down body unique within the Iris lineup, the RCM-OOO delivers a dry, crisp, and punchy voice with excellent midrange definition and clarity. The Blacktop aesthetic, paired with the flower headstock logo, ivoroid binding, and ivoroid pickguard, gives this guitar a striking yet tasteful visual presence rooted in classic American flattop design.

Built with a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, the RCM-OOO offers a versatile tonal range well suited to fingerstyle, light strumming, and articulate flatpicking. Scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing enhances responsiveness and dynamic range, while the bolt-on mortise and tenon neck joint ensures stability and efficient energy transfer. Comfortable to hold and effortless to play, the RCM-OOO is a superb choice for players seeking a modern boutique guitar with traditional soul.
