A division of Circle Strings in Burlington, Vermont, Iris Guitar Company is a small team of highly-skilled and seasoned luthiers who are dedicated to building a modern instrument that captures vintage-inspired tone and aesthetics. Iris guitars are handmade using a combination of state of the art techniques and old-world craftsmanship.

The MS-00 was designed with mid-'30s small-body guitars in mind. It has a 14-fret body with slope shoulder a short scale (24-3/4"). The MS-00 was developed on the insistence of Mark Stutman of Folkway, for whom it’s named. Mark is a very talented luthier who is considered to be the expert in vintage Gibson guitars, which show clear influence on this model.

We ordered this MS-00 (serial #522) in Natural Finish with Ivoroid binding and a Tortoise pickguard. It features hand-scalloped Adirondack Braces, a Sitka Spruce Top, and Mahogany back and sides. It produces lively, small-body tone with impressive balance. It has a 1-11/16" nut width, and the string spacing is 2-7/32" at the bridge.
