Iris Guitar Company NAMM 2025 RCM-000 Iced Tea Burst
Serial Number: 1176
Weight: 3.4 lbs.

The RCM-000 is a 12-fret 000 model with a slimmer body than any other Iris—built for comfort, balance, and tonal clarity. Named after Iris luthier Christian McAdams, whose craftsmanship and attention to detail have helped elevate the brand’s quality standards, the RCM has quickly become a favorite among players looking for a versatile, expressive acoustic.

This particular guitar was built by Iris Guitars for display at their NAMM 2025 booth, making it a standout example of the model. It features a Yellow Cedar top and a body crafted from Black Locust, which gives this guitar a bright and snappy voice, with clear articulation, good sustain, and a strong midrange presence.

A slotted headstock, 12-fret neck joint, and Indian Rosewood fingerboard and bridge round out the classic-meets-modern vibe, while the exquisitely figured mahogany neck and lightweight construction make it a joy to play.

Whether you’re fingerpicking, flatpicking, or just looking for a unique and inspiring acoustic, this NAMM-featured RCM-000 blends standout tonewoods, boutique craftsmanship, and stage-worthy looks into one exceptional instrument.
