This Iris Guitars MS-00 in Natural is built around cocobolo back and sides, a strikingly figured, dense tonewood related to rosewood but with even more overtone complexity and a brighter, more percussive attack, paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top that's been roasted to mimic the dry, open, already-broken-in voice of a decades-old guitar right out of the case. The 000-style body and shorter 24.75" scale make this an exceptionally comfortable, fingerstyle-friendly instrument, with the C/D mahogany neck carve and slightly narrower 1-11/16" nut suiting players who want a fast, precise feel. Tortoise binding and a matching tortoise pickguard dress the Natural top elegantly, while nice touches like the bone pins and end pin and the added strap button at the neck heel show real attention to detail beyond the standard build. This is a genuinely exotic, tonally complex instrument for the player chasing something different, and it comes ready to go in its included TKL hardshell case.
