The Iris Guitar Company, located just north of TME in Burlington, VT, is making some beautiful-looking, vintage-inspired flattops that combine first-class worksmanship and powerful, woody sound. The "DF" is their slope-shouldered dreadnought, providing the throaty, midrange chunk that any fan of the old-school jumbo would recognize at first strum. It feels silly even calling this guitar "used," because clearly -- it hasn't been played more than a couple times. "Certified pre-owned" would be more like it! We expect this one will sell fast, so grab it while it's in stock.
