2008 Olson SJ - Small Jumbo, Clone of James Taylor Signature Model Acoustic Guitar

SOLD

This guitar is a clone of the James Taylor Signature Model Special Edition which is no longer available. It has all of the same features, including AMAZING Brazilian Rosewood, just without the James Taylor signature. We absolutely adore this Olson SJ, it has the sound that made James Olson famous, brillian, rich, sensitive and powerful all at once. Truly a world class instrument in everyway. From the double-inlay Doves, with mother-of-pearl surrounding abalone, to the perfect Cedar top, this is as close to a JT as you can get but most importantly this is one of the very best sounding Olsons we've seen.

Player Reviews:

"What a guitar... This could be my favorite Olson to date. The tone is exquisite, it is complete in every register and super responsive. The Brazilian is insanely beautiful with deep, rich color that seems to come through in the voice. This is a prime example of James Olson's work." - Paul Heumiller

"One of the best sounding Olsons I've played and I've played lots of 'em. The Brazilian rosewood on this guitar is exquisite and the tone and playability are perfect What a find for some lucky buyer." - Al Petteway
