Many luthiers attempt to combine tradition with modernity, very few succeed in this endeavor. However John Slobod delivers time after time– This 000 Cutaway from 2015 showcases this flawlessly. Here we have a 12-fret small body guitar with the look and feel of a classic fingerstyle guitar but the makeup of something more. Panamanian Rosewood with EVO Frets are not apart of your grandpa’s flattop. This guitar feels right at home with travis picking, flatpicking, you name it. On the other hand it leaves nothing desired for the more modern picker. This instrument does it all, it’s comfortable, dynamic and so enthralling. Hard to put it down.

No one does it quite like John Slobod! This Circa is one of the sweetest honey pots I've had the pleasure of playing in quite some time. How you squeeze so much juicy bass out of this 000 package, I don't know, John, but I'm sure glad you do.
Wow do I not want to put this one down. Extremely lively and responsive, notes firing out of the soundhole almost before I even plucked a string. This is an intensely enjoyable guitar. Please buy it before my temptation takes over. 
I am slightly prejudiced when it comes to Circa guitars, but this is the ultimate Fingerstyle guitar, in my opinion. It's versatile and the body size is perfect for solo or ensemble playing. The tone is balanced and clear and the playability is excellent. If you like the vintage Martin vibe, this is a winner. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
