Gives a whole new meaning to the term “afternoon delight.”

With all that love for Sexauers, how did you end up with 4 Circas (and 4 more on the way) and no Sexauers?

HGF 2013 happened right after this trip. I got a chance to play work by many other builders and ended up falling for Laurent Brondel’s work. I bought a Brondel shortly thereafter and commissioned another after it.

For the Martin-style builds, I found that Circa was really the most appealing to me. The tone, playability, and workmanship are more to my liking. I’m also a huge fan of Howard Klepper’s Martin-style work. I own one of them and played an OM-33 he built.

Hahahaha

What a stash, and what a shopping trip! I am a huge 12 fret cutaway fan, as you may remember from B.I.G. 1

Enjoy the thrill ride!

Paul, it was great to meet you in Texas. Downsizing will probably happen at some point. Not sure when that will be, though.

May your downsizing be way off in the future if that is your wish

It was fun meeting you too!

Cheers

Paul
