The Iris DF Acoustic Guitar pays homage to co-founder Dale Fairbanks with its slope-shouldered dreadnought design reminiscent of a late 1940s J-45. Crafted with a Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this guitar offers a warm, open tone with balanced trebles and the classic slope-shoulder thump. The small rectangle bridge, scalloped tonebars, and medium-length scale further contribute to its rich sound.
Visually, the DF model is adorned with a deco firestripe pickguard, ivoroid bindings, sunburst top finish, and three-on-a-plate Golden Age open geared tuners, along with the new Iris 'Flower' headstock logo. A tremendous handmade slope-shoulder with vintage vibe in spades! Includes hardshell case.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!
