Now here’s an Olson that stands apart from the crowd! Very well-known for his Small Jumbos, Jim also has built a number of full-size Jumbos, and this gorgeous sunburst number from 1985 proves to us that he’s just as capable with the bigger size. Wide awake and quick! This one features a three-piece Indian Rosewood back, Sitka Spruce top, and some good-looking snowflakes in MOP at the fretboard and bridge wings. The red sunburst is an uncommon feature for an Olson, and we love how it lets the Sitka grain shine through. Being from 1985, this one has some play wear and the fine finish checks appropriate for a guitar of this age, and our repair staff recently went over it for a clean bill of health. Looking for the big centerpiece to your collection? This Olson Jumbo is just the supersized ticket.

Here is a classic James Olson guitar from 1985. Sublime and powerful, the Jumbo shape makes it uniquely bold yet it is super responsive to a light touch. Collectible and timeless. 
I really had some fun with this one. First, I love jumbos. Second, I love older guitars that have been played in. This one's got both! And a wider, fuller neck than one usually sees on an Olson, which my big hands loved. | Scale Length | 25.4000 in |
