3 2016 OMs (Circa, Merrill, Dudenbostel)

I also wish I had a Henderson OM, TJ OM, a Franklin, a Walker OM to compare w/ haha.
I shouldve bought a pair of 42 style Hendersons 5 years ago... now they are so expensive.

Some will prefer the Borges, some will like the Circa more.

Great information, thanks. Sounds like I would prefer Circa based on what I typically listen for when trying new guitars.

Beautiful collection btw. Those style 45s are gorgeous!

Hi Fsgeek, who is your MOST favorite guitar builder if you are asked to pick ONLY one? And why?
I know it is a difficult question and not easy to answer.

Thanks!!

My question also!

Lol...
We all have different tastes...
If Id only pick one builder, Ervin Somogyi should win
My taste has evolved over the years. And I really like Ervin Somogyi's and Jim Olson's non traditional guitars.
For traditional guitars, its Blazer and Henkes. I have played several and all were stellar... The Merrill and Dudenbostel I have are probably in the top 5 best guitars Ive played.
My Circa is barely 2 mos old and will only get better.... who knows after a few more months it can be my favorite guitar

Happy New Year
