2009 Circa Steve Baughman 7/8 Dreadnought Cocobolo/European
One of the best-sounding guitars I’ve played at Dream Guitars. The neck profile and the general responsiveness of this guitar is really incredibly satisfying. The Martin Simpson style cutaway creates extra reach to the fingerboard over the body and the simple yet elegant decorative features make it a beautiful instrument in every way. There is a fairly long wait for Circa guitars built by John Slobod and there is good reason. They are among the best acoustic guitars being made today. Here’s one that is available right now and it won’t last long. How do I love thee, Circa Guitars? John, let me count the ways. Your instruments are always works of art, and they tease inspiration out of the player as effortlessly as your setups. This Steve Baughman model is in a category all of its own. Not only is the Brazilian primo grade, or the cutaway useful, but this guitar also has an otherworldly quality to it that makes it perfect for fingerstyle of all walks.
