Owned by Cheryl Wheeler, no less! This 1995 Olson SJ, dubbed “Olive Oil” by Wheeler, is from one of our favorite periods of Jim’s career. Olsons from the mid 90s just have a special color and openness that is a joy to experience, and this one’s got it in spades. It’s been played in and opened up handsomely (thanks, Cheryl!), is in excellent playing shape with a slender neck and 1 11/16” nut, L.R. Baggs LB6 pickup, and a bombproof Calton flight case with custom Small Dog cover. Cedar top over Indian Rosewood body, non cutaway, and weighs in at about 4.75 pounds.
