This Iris Guitar Company AB model comes to us from our friends in Burlington, VT, and is named using the initials of founder Adam Buchwald as its moniker. Launched in 2020, this instrument is the third installment of guitars the company has built.
Modeled from the deep-waisted silhouette of Gibson's iconic J-185, the small jumbo-style body of this guitar boasts a Sitka spruce top, paired with a less usual big leaf maple back and sides. The natural finish of this guitar was a brilliant choice by Iris, as both the top wood and the back and sides tell a story with little interruption by their finish. The big leaf maple's woodgrain paints a gorgeous image on the rear of the guitar, with grain stretching in every direction. The entire body is also surrounded by a tortoise binding, matching the pickguard.
The neck, attached to the body with a bolt-on Mortise & Tenon joint, sports a bone nut with a width of 1-11/16”, and a 25” scale length. On it, a dark, tightly grained Indian rosewood fingerboard features Iris' very small, plastic dot inlays. At the top of the neck, the headstock highlights the Iris logo, as well as Golden Age-style tuning machines for a vintage touch. With no electronics present, the bracing of this guitar is responsible for working with the top, back and sides wood to create a resonant projection that can be heard clearly. In this case, scalloped, Adirondack spruce bracing is in charge of that.
The "open pore " natural nitrocellulose lacquer finish on this guitar allows the wood to project without being choked by its finish, and promises an instrument that will age gracefully. With dimensions including a Body Length of 20-3/8”, Total Length of 41”, Lower Bout of 16-1/8”, Upper Bout of 11-3/8”, Waist of 9-3/8”, and a Depth of 4-5/8”, the AB guitar offers a comfortable and ergonomic playing experience.
