Manufacturer's Description from Iris

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

About Manufacturer

IRIS GUITARS are the new production model manufactured by Circle Strings and Fairbanks Guitars. After many years of custom guitar building, we are proud to introduce an affordable, high-end acoustic guitar line, MADE IN THE USA, that is the perfect tool for any beginner or professional musician. Making an affordable, high end acoustic guitar is not an easy task at such a small level. Because of this, this is a bare bones model with basic appointments to excite even the serious guitar aficionado. If you have been interested in a Fairbanks or Circle Strings guitar, but can't afford it, this is the perfect introduction to our guitars. Our goal is to make the best guitars we can for the player.
