Description

Presenting the Iris Guitar Company JB Model, an innovative take on the traditional OM style guitar that introduces modern design sensibilities. Exclusively crafted with a European Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides, this version stands out with a wider nut and bridge spacing, perfect for fingerstyle players who desire a touch more room on the fretboard. 

The JB Model is a champion of balance and clarity, characteristics often associated with smaller body instruments. However, it breaks the mold with its remarkable volume and depth, defying its more compact dimensions. The unique combination of a slender depth, a narrow waist, and a 16-inch lower bout allows the JB Model to deliver a robust low-end response, a clean mid-range, and a rounded treble. 

Adding a visual appeal to its acoustic excellence, the JB Model shines in an open pore, natural satin Nitrocellulose finish. This not only enhances the natural beauty of the European Spruce and Rosewood, but also provides a tactile experience that players will love. 

Comfort and playability are further addressed with the Mahogany neck and Indian Rosewood fingerboard. Golden Age Relic Brass Tuners enhance the overall aesthetics while delivering precise tuning. The Tortoise pickguard and Ivoroid binding offer subtle finishing touches to this model. With its comprehensive features and included hardshell TKL case, the JB Model is a compelling choice for any discerning guitarist.
