Not sure. I know John was busy for Swannanoa. Hope this one picks up after that.

More OM-42 goodness. It's really hard to beat John Slobod's stash of wood. His Adirondack tops and Brazilian back and sides are hard to beat from an aesthetic and tonal point of view. To me, working with a luthier that has a significant stock of high quality tonewood is paramount.

Apparently I have to say more than "wow!" but I'm struggling to express myself better.

It's so cool to see how much time and energy John puts into making sure his style 42 inlays are precise. It's really inspiring to see this level of craftsmanship. One of the many things I love about my Circas is the visible effort you can see in the details. His guitars are as close to perfection as I've seen from any builder.

He even glues the bridge the right part of the top . . .

Coming along beautifully. John detail oriented techniques are top notch. Can't wait to see this one make it into your hands.
