IN A NUTSHELL
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.
‘My happy Iris Family. 12-Fret Smeck, ND-200 2021 Sarah Ryan limited edition, AND AB model with maple back & sides. Lots of love for these awesome builds. At these price points they really can't be beat. Been a player for a little over 50 years and have owned a lot of great guitars. I will say these are my favorite ones I've ever owned!” — Iris Owner Jim Miller
new model: the D-WH
The newest addition to the Iris guitar line-up, the D-WH is our first square-shouldered dreadnought. Named after our very-own Will Hylton, head of CNC, the D-WH comes with a 25.5” scale length and features a southern-plains style pickguard.
The D-WH is now available to order through any of our authorized dealers!
now available: flower logo
We’ve added a new option for the headstock logo for all Iris models! This new minimal design, that we refer to as the “Flower” logo, was debuted at the 2024 NAMM show as an answer to some dealer requests and now allows customers to pick a favored option when ordering their Iris (at no additional cost!).
While we still love our original headstock logo, and it remains the default option across all models, we’re thrilled to have an additional option that still fits with the unique Iris aesthetic.
