The MS-00 was developed on the insistence of Mark Stutman of Folkway Music, for whom it’s named. This mid-thirties style guitar, with its short scale, is a wonderful complement to our line of small bodied Iris. Mark is a very talented luthier who is considered to be the expert in vintage Gibson guitars. We are thrilled to be working with him on this new model!
