John Slobod brings it home with this one, and we’re so excited to offer it to you now. This 2012 Circa OM-42 epitomizes the OM ideals of versatility, dynamism, playability. The voice is lively and wide open, with a warm and transparent bass that pairs handsomely with the glassy trebles. Great note separation across the registers; really lovely string energy gives a vibrant quality to the voice that’s particularly engrossing. Visually, this is 42-style done right. Perfectly executed Abalone trim borders the top and fretboard extension, pairing with Abalone at the rosette and along the fretboard in the shape of snowflakes, diamonds, and squares—with an MOP “Circa” inlaid at the headstock suggestive of the prewar C.F. Martin block inlay. Gold Waverly tuners (engraved at the knobs), creamy Grained Ivoroid bindings throughout, rectangular pyramid bridge to round it out. On the tonewood front, the classic combination of Brazilian Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce. Our Circa OM-42 is expressive and elegant in equal measure.

This is a powerhouse for my buddy John Slobod of Circa Guitars. Just old enough to be wide awake, there’s nothing like Adirondack with some years under its belt. Not only do you get more power, but you get some of the colors in the lower end and the top end that are just not there until it’s been strummed a bit. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
