A powerhouse SJ from the one and only Jim Olson that’s opened up handsomely since 1998—spruced up with a tree of life vine inlay and an effortless setup. Straight-grain Indian Rosewood with Cedar and Jim’s five-play neck; additional Pearl trim to make it pop; and tortoise-style bindings for a bit of a vintage nod. This Olson sounds, frankly, gorgeous. The treble overtones are powerful and articulate in particular, and the voice overall has incredible balance across the registers.

This is a stunning example of Jim Olson's work from the late 90s. The vine Inlay makes this one unique, and the voice has within it everything we all love about Olson Guitars. Brilliance and shimmer and depth and beauty. 
This beauty has an expansive and enveloping voice that I’m head over heels for. I’ve played a lot of Olsons, and this one really stands out as a uniquely expressive example of Jim’s sound from his 90s builds. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
