Not a Charis passes through our shop that doesn't leave our jaws hanging and our hands itching for one more minute with that butter-slick neck and that resounding projection--this "Heart's Home Series" SJ is no different. Bill Wise's technique lends each guitar with scientific precision and laser-cut articulation between the strings. Blessed with Pau Rosa back and sides and a Cedar top, what we have here is an SJ with all the expressiveness of a 00 and the power of a Dreadnought--while simultaneously maintiaining a flawless separation of notes. Fingerstylists, of course, will love the articulation and even presence of each register, but there's also an ease of playability and aptitude for projection and sustain which flatpickers recognize as essential for a guitar to faithfully broadcast chords, leads, fiddle tunes, and overtones. Here's something on which both kinds of players can agree: this SJ handles dropped tunings like no guitar's business, lending the guitar an even more full-bodied voice. Packed up securely in a Cedar Creek hardshell case, this Charis is ready to go anywhere and play any tune.
Don't worry, other guitars will still sound alright after you play this one--but there's no denying that none of them will quite sound like this one, either. Dollar for dollar, Bill's guitars are astounding, almost surreal in their lightweight construction and defiantly enormous voices. 
If you like Olson guitars, you'll probably like this Charis SJ. It has a great balance in tone and volume and plays very smoothly. Great guitar! - Accessories
