NGD - Circle Strings A1 Custom Koa
Last weekend I was privileged to attend the 2018 Artisan Guitar Show. While there I stopped by the guitar booth of luthier Adam Buchwald and Circle Strings guitars. I worked closely with Adam as he built a custom guitar for me about 2 years or so ago. I was thrilled with the entire build process and how the guitar came out - simply stunning. Adam had brought with him a recently completed and well appointed custom A-1 (OM) style guitar in koa with a bear claw Sitka top that was incredible. It sounded and played as beautifully as it looked and I was hooked. It found a new home and is now my second Circle Strings guitar. If you are looking for an exceptionally well-made custom guitar, and, you want to enjoy the process along the way, I can't recommend Adam Buchwald highly enough. Sorry to cut this short, I gotta go and play this guitar again...!
Specs: OM Style AAAA Koa back and Sides Bear Claw AAAA Sitka Spruce Top 25.4 Scale Length 1 3/4 nut 2 3/16 Bridge String Spacing

What a wonderfully looking-- and likely wonderfully sounding-- instrument. Wishing you many years of joy with that.
