Iris MS-00 Tuxedo
The classic MS-00 with tuxedo white-on-black appointments!
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.
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.
Expect a guitar with tone inspired by a 30s Gibson, modern playability, accurate intonation, and touch more sparkle and sustain than and older instrument.
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.
With hardshell case.
