Iris DF 'Tobacco Burst' Acoustic Guitar

Established in 2018 by luthier Adam Buchwald, Iris Guitars builds modern, handmade instruments inspired by Depression-era and mid-century designs, all-solid tonewoods and genuine hand craftsmanship at a price usually reserved for factory-built guitars. The Iris DF 'Tobacco Burst' Acoustic Guitar is a vintage-inspired slope-shouldered dreadnought that draws on the iconic late-1940s J-45 design, giving players a warm, open tone with real midrange punch and resonant depth.

A solid Sitka spruce top over solid mahogany back and sides gives the DF a sound suited equally to strumming and fingerpicking, while scalloped Adirondack spruce bracing adds extra resonance and projection. Visually, the guitar pairs a classic deco firestripe pickguard and ivoroid binding with a traditional tobacco sunburst top for genuine vintage charm. Golden Age relic brass tuners, a bone nut and saddle, and a comfortable 1-11/16" nut width round out a guitar that's ideal for players who want vintage looks and tone with everyday reliability, and it ships in a protective hardshell case.
