This construction method is a variation of the traditional thinline construction. A steel plate is set on top of an half chambered body. The steel top brings round metallic sonorities to the instrument.
GOOD WOOD = GOOD TONE
A lot of attention is paid to source premium quality wood for all our instruments.
The body is made in mahogany. It is a fine grained wood with great musical properties. The tone is warm and full with good sustain. The mahogany is associated with some of the most famous rock music of our time.
The neck is made in maple (Canada), a very hard, heavy and dense wood. The tone is very bright with long sustain and a lot of bite.

MADE IN WILD
Our guitars are 100% made in France. We believe in the true artisanal values and all Iron Top instruments are handcrafted the old fashion way in our workshop.
Our only goal is to deliver premium quality instruments and everything is designed, crafted, painted, wired, set, tuned in France. Even the pickups are hand-wound in Paris!
BOLT-ON NECK
The slower transference of acoustic energy from the non-glued neck yields a little more pop and attack from the string—in essence, it decouples the strings from the body and neck. The snap and pop of the bolt-on guitar neck emphasizes note definition. It adds a sharpness and firmness that contribute to a cutting tone, often called “twang”
NECK / IRONTOP
The Standard Thin is our most popular neck profile. Its medium “C” shape will feel comfortable to most players.
Fingerboard : Brazilian Pau Ferro (Rosewood substitute to respect the CITES agreement and the European Union wood species protection regulation 338/97)
