SOLD 2016 Circa OM42 deluxe
SOLD is among the most beautifully and tastefully built guitars that I have ever played.*
Circa OM42 Deluxe, 15 inch wide lower bout almost identical in dimensions to the Martin OM size, mastergrade Adirondack spruce, figured Brazilian Rosewood, bookmatched brazilian rosewood bindings, paua abalone purflings on the top in OM42 configuration that follows the fretboard extension, paua abalone rosette, paua abalone snowflake fretboard markers, OM45 Deluxe style paua abalone inlays on the pickguard and bridge, fossilized walrus ivory bridge nut, pins and saddle, brazilian rosewood veneer on headstock overlay, torch inlay on headstock overlay done with paua abalone, the frets have been Plekked by T J Thompson, custom grey Calton flight case. All the inlaying work was done by hand by John Slobod who is the solo luthier behind Circa guitars and it is flawless in execution. In fact the whole guitar is built with such skill that it is not boasting to say that you will not find better fit and finish and workmanship by any luthier or shop or factory in the world than this. Tone wise - tone is difficult to explain with words given how subjective it is but the circa is a guitar that has all the power and percussive bass authority of the prewar Martin type of guitars but with amazing clarity at all times and a cloud of harmonics or overtones around the strong fundamental. It is the most physically responsive guitar i hv ever played in the sense that the body of the guitar will literally pulse with every note you play. The price is ON HOLD not inclusive of shipping. Please contact me by PM if you are interested in the Circa.

I'm speechless.
 This is *holy crap* awesome. The variety and depth of coloring in that abalone purfling is beyond beautiful. Absolutely amazing piece, has to be in the top 3 most beautiful guitars I've viewed on the AGF in the years I've been here. GLWS

Hello mcduffnw
I have just bought a traugott that was much more expensive than the circa and which surprisingly occupies an overlapping tonal territory. The circa is more percussive and traditional sounding while the traugott is even more clear and having even more note separation. The cost of the traugott has led me to put up most of my small collection for sale but also to find the polar opposite of the traugott in order to complement it - a super thick overtone and reverb heavy guitsr with a cavernous bass. So I'm thinking that selling the circa will finance the purchase of such a guitar. Otherwise i wouldn't want to ever sell the circa which is one of the best guitars i have ever played.

I have had trade plus cash inquiries. I would be interested in exploring that kind of deal if it concerns a Ryan cathedral in brazilian rosewood or a guitar with thay kind of qualities. Please take note that I am not interested in any other kind of ryan guitsr other than a cathedral model.
