This SJ comes to us as a well preserved example of Jim Olson’s handiwork from the 1990s. A build date right in the middle at 1995 puts this beauty at 29 years young today, and it’s still going strong and ready for action. Indian Rosewood body with Cedar top, and both have been trimmed out with addtional purflings and Abalone for a striking, outstanding aesthetic. You’ll find an intricate series of fleur-de-lis position markers and at the bridge wings extend the pearl motif; ditto for the headplate trim. The end result is a dressed-to-the-nines ’95 Olson SJ.

A true classic. I can’t count how many times I have listened to James Taylor and been swept away by the sound of his Olson guitars. Magic. 
Very smooth and balanced across the registers, with some added warmth and mellowness in the mids, makes for an easy playing, easy listening experience. The additional pearl work is handsomely executed along the fingerboard, plus top and back trim. | Scale Length | 25.4000 in |
