Hey Brian, that black binding against the maple is incredible. Love it! There’s a similar guitar at Schoenberg’s. A long scale 00 in maple too, but with tortis type binding. Have you or anyone here played that? Would you say that John builds along the lines with Jules Borges, or a bit more modern? Didn’t John apprentice with Dana Bourgeois and Borges before going out by himself too?
I’ve never played a Maple Circa but I’ve heard Stuart Ryan play his 000-12 and that’s one of the top tones in my head.
