I thought about doing a matching neck, but I hesitate to deviate from the recipe of the guitar I really liked. I think it looks a little better, but I like the light weight of mahogany.

The flames maple with the warm brown mahogany neck is sweeeeeeet.

Good call, IMO. I'd love to have a Circa 00-12 made with these woods.

Been waiting for this one. Love my new Circa OM. Had debated switching to these specs but stuck with German/Madrode. I guess that means I’ll need another. Looking forward to watching this develop.

You made the right choice with the OM. That spec is a classic. But, yes, you’ll need a 000-12c as well. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Don’t forget sustain...
“000-12c is a fantastic guitar because it has the punch of presence of an OM but with a deeper bass and more girth.”
I agree and the shorter neck puts the bridge ‘more better’ in the middle of the top and you get better sustain from the shorter neck, especially if you have a wider neck and a multi-piece neck.

the longer scale length - 25.4.

I’m talking about the bridge position relative to the body, not the scale length.

Fantastic, Juston! It's nice when you and your builder have an exact point of reference for how you'd like your guitar to sound. In this case, it couldn't be more ideal - He built it! I agree on sticking with mahogany for the neck. Don't muck with the recipe. . . .

A big pile of X braces from a Steinway piano. My X brace is in there somewhere.
I guess when you don't have much of an update, a picture of brace stock is about the best you can hope for.
