Here's an exquisite OM from John Slobod at Circa Guitars. The Flamed Koa back and sides on this beauty speak for itself. The voice is big, open and mature. The Engelmann Spruce top pairs nicely with Koa to create a versatile voice suitable for many style. The cutaway is Brazilian Rosewood for an interesting contrast. Excellent playability, excellent tone; an excellent instrument.

Player Reviews:
"John Slobod is an extremely talented builder who is now well known for making very responsive guitar built in a prewar style but with modern accuracy and quality. This OM is very cool, crafted from stunning woods and with great tone. We don't see many preowned Circa guitars, so here is your chance. " - Paul Heumiller
"The tone of this Circa OM is woody and bright, much like a prewar OM-18. The guitar is extremely light and responsive. A pleasure to play." - Al Petteway
