Hi guys,
Since many of the Circa photos here are from my website, I thought I'd provide a link to my Instrument Reviews page where you can see many more. Happy Holidays.

I've only played a few of the Circa guitars, but they played well and sounded great. This guitar is my Henderson D-28 style guitar (#591), Wayne is pretty well known for his pre-war style guitars. This one is brazilian rosewood back and sides, and an adi top. It sounds as good as it looks.
