AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
RCM BLACKTOP
Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne
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.

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.
