I'm fascinated by this one, and will eagerly follow along. Go Juston!!!
We can all demo Circa guitars under the 8’ tall oil and canvas painting of John that hangs in my living room.

This has been my approach too. I basically tell the luthier to build the guitar as if it is for them. If I like the general tonal DNA of their builds, I can't go wrong here.

Looking forward to seeing more of this build unfold!!!!
Yeah, I remember in 2009 I sent John this long spec sheet with all these crazy detailed descriptions and I think he got a little nervous. Let the luthier do their job and watch the magic happen. You gotta make sure you like their work first . . . or keep an open mind and take a gamble.
