Add to CompareNew Circa D-42 Brazilian/Engelmann
John Slobod and his Circa Guitars have become a hot commodity in the guitar world. Slews of pro players have purchased Circa guitars including our own Al Petteway, Steve Baughman, Tony McManus, Ed Dodson and many others. These players are the best in the world and they choose guitars for tone, playability, reliability and quality, in that order. John Slobod has all of that in every guitar. This ravishing D-42 Sunburst is a stunner. The abalone really shines against the deep, dark burst. The top is old Engelmann Spruce and while not a bluegrass cannon, Engelmann gives this box a wonderful warm strumming voice and a richness that will suit singer-songwriters, accompanists and fingerpickers perfectly.

Add to CompareNew Circa OM Beeswing Mahogany/European
Here we have a brand new Circa OM from John Slobod. Our own Al Petteway plays one of John’s guitars and this OM is a KILLER! Beeswing Mahogany and Master Grade European, this is a loud, strong guitar with pure vintage tone. All of us just love it. It is articulate and very strong and super easy to play as well. The Torch on the headstock and John’s impeccable craftsmanship make it a dream.
Luthier John Slobod began his career in 1993 at the Timeless Instruments guitar building intensive in Moosejaw, Canada. When John left Timeless, he went to work for Dana Bourgeois at Pantheon Guitars in Lewiston, Maine. At Pantheon, he hand carved many necks, voiced hundreds of tops, and did the binding work and final voicing on almost 4000 guitars. John left Bourgeois to work with Julius Borges and Eric Schoenberg in 1998. He also began his own line of vintage inspired instruments using traditional materials and construction methods under the name Circa Guitars.
Our own Al Petteway got a Circa Guitar from John a while back and we were very impressed with the tone and the craftsmanship. John Slobod has some of the finest skills we've seen and build a precise and clean guitar. But he also has amazing tone and is able to draw from the great guitars of the past to create his modern voice.
