Description

Established in 2018, Iris Guitars merges modern techniques with vintage-inspired aesthetics to build exceptional instruments. Founded by luthier Adam Buchwald, Iris Guitars produces high-quality, handmade guitars for everyday musicians, drawing on Depression-era and mid-century designs with all-solid tonewoods and genuine hand craftsmanship at a price point usually reserved for factory-built guitars.

The Iris OG is the flagship model that launched Iris Guitars into the spotlight, and this example wears a striking Relic Blacktop finish with aged lacquer checking and patina for authentic vintage character. Built with an all-solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, it offers a comfortable 25" scale and smooth C-shaped neck profile with a warm, dry voice and impressive midrange response suited to strumming and fingerpicking alike. Ideal for players after a genuinely vintage-feeling dreadnought with modern build quality and consistency.
