Smile Fabulous Circa
Mark,

I see you can't keep away from Ziricote guitars. I am still loving the Ziricote Hamblin GC that you sold me. Thanks again. That Hamblin GC is a perfect fit for me, both in terms of size/playability/looks and tone.

Your Circa looks spectacular. Congratulations. I can't wait to hear your impressions after living with the Circa for a while.

All the best.

Great to hear from you, John! I miss that Hamblin. It’s a killer guitar but I definitely lean more traditional. I think I’m in good hands. If you ever sell the Hamblin please reach out!

Circa guitars made these days are among the best available. The builds John has been doing in the last several years capture the essence of vintage Martins in such a satisfying way. You’re going to love yours. I heard they’re going to name a city in Maine in his honor - Slobodabad.
