This Iris DF is a wonderful slope shouldered dread! Such a joy to play, super responsive with plenty of bass thump and top end clarity, lightweight and handsome - this is a terrifically satisfying guitar! Here is Iris' description:
A classic slope shouldered dreadnought named after Iris co-founder, Dale Fairbanks.
“It was shortly after Adam’s conception of Iris Guitar Company that I was invited to join and help with it’s development. The first model, the OG, was soon followed by my personal favorite guitar design that we named after myself: the DF. A slope shouldered dreadnought modeled closely after depression era guitars coming out of Kalamazoo during the mid and late ‘30’s, it offers the perfect combo of grit, funk and warmth.” - Dale Fairbanks
