We love John Slobod’s guitars, and this Circa OM-40C from 2024 meets our high expectations. With Madagascar rosewood and Adirondack spruce, along with ornate abalone appointments throughout, it’s clear that John is in a league of his own when it comes to fit, finish, and sound quality. This guitar is a truly wonderful marriage of tradition and modernity. We can’t imagine what it will sound like in years to come, as it has already hit it out of the park.

The cutaway design is a real testament to John's skill—it offers easy access without sacrificing an ounce of tone. It's something truly special. 
Keep 'em coming! We couldn't even hold onto this one long enough to list it before it sold. I put John super high on my list, his work is flawlessly gorgeous, and the voice on this OM-40C is particularly engrossing, nuanced, and dynamic. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
