Circa 12 Fret 0028

Condition: new - never been sold.

I commissioned this breathtaking 0028 directly from John Slobod, widely regarded as one of the country's premier builders of Martin-style guitars. As a dealer for Circa guitars, I'm particularly proud to offer this spellbinding instrument that represents John's mastery at its finest. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a pristine, master-grade instrument without the typical wait time associated with Slobod's sought-after builds.

This Circa 0028 represents the pinnacle of modern acoustic guitar craftsmanship while paying homage to what we most appreciate in fine vintage guitars. The master-grade red spruce top is exceptionally responsive and articulate. At the same time, the 40-year-old Amazon rosewood back and sides provide a complexity of tone that only perfectly aged tonewood of this caliber can provide.

The triple binding on the headstock and neck adds refined elegance that complements the classic herringbone purfling. The boxed end graft shows attention to detail that serious collectors and players will truly appreciate.

What truly sets this instrument apart is its powerful, rich voice with an incredible dynamic range. The pyramid bridge, with its custom mushroom pins, is a visual treat and contributes to the guitar's impressive sustain and projection. The traditional 12-fret neck joint gives this 0028 a warm, round sonority with gorgeous overtones that bloom beautifully.

This guitar delivers everything you could want in a high-end acoustic — exquisite craftsmanship, premium materials, stunning aesthetics, and, most importantly, a voice that will inspire your playing for a lifetime. It is a truly exceptional instrument worthy of the most discerning player or collector.
