Styled after the rarest of Gibson’s 1930s L-shaped models – the 14 fret rosewood Nick Lucas Special – the Iris MS-00 Deep Body features Indian rosewood back and sides, an Adirondack red spruce top, and a body depth that tapers from 4-1/2” to 4-3/16”. Like all of our MS models, the guitar is built with solid linings, a vintage-inspired neck carve, and a bridge string spread of about 2-5/16”. It’s an incredible guitar, with a heavenly feel, great looks, and – most importantly – beautiful tone.

A light and careful build, top-tier materials, a thin lacquer finish, and a well thought out blueprint are the ingredients to Iris’ famously good tone. This Deep Body MS-00 offers all that and then some, with the note separation, power, and bass handling of rosewood; the snap, clarity, and dryness of red spruce; and the inviting warmth of a shorter 24.75” scale length. It’s a dark-but-defined guitar, that offers an enticing balance of fundamental presence and sweet overtone color.

The neck carve is full and round, much like a 50’s Gibson, but with a 1-3/4” nut. Neck thickness is .875” at the 1st fret and .915” at the 9th. Rosewood fretboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, simplified headstock logo, Stew Mac Golden Age tuners with aged-white buttons. Firestripe pickguard, single-ring rosette, ivoroid bindings, and satin finish throughout.

This Iris MS-00 Deep Body comes with a hardshell case.

The newest guitar model from Iris guitars and one that’s close to our hearts here at Folkway, the MS-00 was designed in conjunction with Folkway Music’s founder, Mark Stutman. Inspired by the L-00 models built by Gibson in 1933, the MS-00 features similar dimensions and scale length to an L-00 made between 1933 and 1942 but is built with Iris’ unique top bracing that mixes scalloped tone bars and straight X brace for a perfect mix of warmth and power. These instruments are sonically the closest cousins to a 1933 L-00 that are currently being manufactured.

Built with a red spruce top and bracing, solid linings, wide bridge string spacing, a comfortably chunky rounded vintage carve, and a scale length of 24.75” the MS features a suite of design elements that are unique to this model among Iris guitars. The MS-00 is finished in a beautiful sunburst satin lacquer and features ivoroid bindings, firestripe pickguard, and vintage-style three-on-a-plate open-geared tuners.

With plenty of power across the strings, excellent bass-end presence, thick, round, and forward trebles, and a perfect balance between fundamental and overtones, this MS-00 is giving some of our vintage L-00s a run for their money!

The classic MS-00 with tuxedo white-on-black appointments! <br/><br/>

When Iris Guitars were consulting with Folkway’s Mark Stutman about their soon-to-be L-00 inspired guitar, it was decided to offer the new model with a packaged set of upgraded features that would be unique to the MS-00 – features that are inspired by the L-00s that were made in 1933. <br/><br/>

This guitar is a Stutman-spec MS-00, which means that it’s built with an Adirondack spruce top and mahogany back and sides and is assembled with solid – rather than kerfed – linings. The neck is carved with a 30s style soft V profile, the nut is 1-3/4” wide and the strings spread out to 2-5/16” at the bridge. White bindings and pickguard, and a bone-black lacquer round out the package. The MS models are also spec’d with the simplified flower Iris headstock logo. <br/><br/>

Expect a guitar with tone inspired by a 30s Gibson, modern playability, accurate intonation, and touch more sparkle and sustain than and older instrument. <br/><br/>

The neck has a soft V carve with rounded shoulders and should appeal to V-neck and C-neck players, alike. Neck depth at the 1st fret is .950, and it tapers to .985” at the 9th. <br/><br/>

The Iris ND-200 is a 17” Jumbo designed with a surprisingly light build to offer up Iris’s biggest and bassiest sound. The guitar features a mahogany and red spruce body with super-light tapered and scalloped red spruce X bracing, a small maple bridge plate, and a 6”x1” rectangle bridge. With its 25.4” long scale neck and super-thin finish this is both the liveliest and warmest J-200 sized guitar you’ll ever play. The tone is appropriately massive, too, with oodles of bass and sub-bass, and a really low body resonant frequency that makes itself felt with every strum. It’s a pile of fun to play, and it looks incredible.

Mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, 1-11/16” nut width, .855” deep at the 1st fret. Excellent playability and fretwork, comfortable rounded 50’s style neck carve, and great set-up with 12-53 strings. Bone nut and saddle, Golden Age bell-end tuning machines, firestripe pickguard.

Based on the Kalamazoo KG-11 model of the 1930s, the Iris SG-11 features the truncated body and familiar sunburst and firestripe looks that define that iconic budget vintage flattop. Iris has evolved on the KG-11 blueprint with their SG-11, and has added X bracing, a truss-rod, and full body bindings to the recipe. The result is a fabulously playable and great sounding small-sized flat top that’s a knock-it-out-of-the-park next-level reimagination of a classic.

Spruce and mahogany body, mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, ivoroid bindings, sunburst lacquer finish, firestripe pickguard, and open-geared tuners. Small rectangle bridge, bone nut and saddle.

Rounded neck carve with a nut width of 1-3/4”. 24.75” scale, 2-1/4” string spread at the bridge.
