Another fine Olson to grace our shop! This 2000 SJ further proves that Jim Olson found a lutherie sweet spot in his voicings early on and has steadily built on that impressive foundation since then: the voice is bell-clear and balanced, and the low and fast setup toes the line to a T for both fingerstyle and flatpicks. This single-owner Olson has seen some serious time on stage with its former performing owner, and has opened up handsomely. With a K&K Trinity pickup and mic (plus external preamp), this Indian Rosewood-and-Cedar SJ is a force to be reckoned with both on the familiar stage and the intimate recording booth.
Like to play in DADGAD? So does this Olson! The bass really roared once we dropped our tunings and the trebles remained crisp and present. Moreover, this Olson will travel safely from cab car to music hall, from the airport to the studio, wrapped up in a custom Calton flight case.
Loud, loud, loud--and that's just the first note! This Olson also has a great balance for fingerstyle, and the Cedar top gives the voice some extra warmth in the trebles. 
A great example of Olson's guitar building with the logo inlaid in marquetry and the guitar set up perfectly for fingerstyle playing. It has couple of love taps on the front but that just means you can play it live without having to worry about dinging it. Hard to beat. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
