Opened up and singing like sweet baby James himself, this 2002 Olson SJ Cutaway is dressed up and ready for action. Indian Rosewood body with Cedar top, classic 5-ply neck and slinky setup, then upgraded with specs to match the James Taylor Signature model with Abalone trim, downward facing MOP doves on the fretboard to contrast the doves flying upwards from the bridge wings. We’ve only seen a few Olsons with these downward-facing doves, and the look is striking. Tone wise, this one has great balance across the registers, and an extra dose of sparkle not only in the trebles, but also the mids and a touch of the bass. Add an LB6 pickup and tweed case, and you’ve got the complete package.

For me, this one has both James Taylor and Phil Keaggy vibes. The fretboard doves appear to be flying down to meet with the doves on the bridge flying up.
I love how easy this one feels in hand. Great playability, and rigged out with gorgeous Abalone and two sets of dove inlays, and I'm happy to hear how opened up and articulate the voice is.
