A modern fingerstyle machine from the workshop of the one and only John Slobod of Circa Guitars. Ridiculously beautiful Mahogany graces the back and sides of this 2014 000, paired with a German Spruce top. You’ll notice a not-so-common cutaway on this one—the dramatic Florentine falls away much deeper than most, giving you even more comfortable access to the higher registers of the guitar. And thanks to John’s acoustic wizardry, it sacrifices nothing in tone or presence. A masterfully built instrument through and through.

The deep Florentine cutaway not only looks stunning but gives you complete access to the upper register without losing an ounce of tone. The mahogany and German spruce pairing produces a voice that’s open, rich, and full of nuance. It’s a joy to play and a perfect example of John’s mastery. 
I mostly know John for his traditional builds, so when a spicier example comes along you know I'm interested. At its heart, it's still a Hog-Spruce 000 of course, but with that deep cutaway and EVO frets, there's a level of modernity that gives the model some fresh air. It's got legs to stretch in different directions, and so feels at home both for trad music and contemporary fingerstyle play too. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
