I know, I guess I'm a bit of a super fan. It doesn't hurt that John's fun to work with.

I remember when that 'burst Circa popped up on the classifieds. It took everything I had to not move on it. Yours is going to be special. Love the fact that you've got a lot of variety in your Circas!!!!
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build progress!

I always keep my eyes peeled for used Circas. I wish I could have afforded the OM-42 that was on sale here for months.

Love the sunburst, and the mahogany is drool worthy.

19.5 is a good idea, though it would be breaking new ground to move away from whole numbers. But why not?

Seriously, congrats on this one (and the others you posted, the beautiful Maple 000, and that Brazilian...), the set looks fantastic! |
Been there, my friend. I had to wait a few years before my OM build started in 2016 and put these deposits down ages ago knowing I would want more. Schoenberg gets Circas every once in a while and that really fuels the fire!

I don't think it's Hibdon, Bob, but I'm not sure. John told me it was acquired 10 years ago. He's been saving it for his very favorite client . . . but then I talked him into allowing his second least favorite client to use it.
