This 2012 Olson SJ is a note-for-note match to the James Taylor Clone specs, with Indian Rosewood back and sides and a Cedar top, Abalone birds, Gotoh tuners, and Florentine cutaway—and it packs a rich and energetic voice to boot. Aside from a few marks, this baby is in primo condition, and it offers a well developed and dynamic response beyond its years. In short, this Olson is pretty darn perfect. Included is an L.R. Baggs LB6 pickup and Calton flight case.
