The ND-200 is named after Nick Durkee, the very first builder hired at Iris Guitar. It’s the biggest and boldest guitar we make; a fitting tribute to the person who helped us build everything that followed.
The ND-200 features a 25.5” scale and the large body size allows for ample air movement within the instrument, enhancing its volume and projection. In addition to its powerful bass, the ND-200 produces clear and pronounced mid-range tone, ideal for both rhythmic strumming and intricate fingerpicking. This combination of deep lows and clear highs make the ND-200 a versatile choice for many musical genres, including folk, country, blues and rock, where its robust sound can easily fill a room.
