This Olson has an extra helping of articulation and expressiveness that makes it a handsome companion for a wide range of styles. Of course it’s excellent for fingerstyle, but it also holds up well under a flatpick. Great note separation across the registers, with a top end that’s got extra oomph and glassiness. This 2016 Olson SJ Cutaway comes with Jim’s dove inlays along the fingerboard, Indian Rosewood body with Cedar top, and an L.R. Baggs LB6 pickup. Ready for a vibrant, energetic IR/Cedar Olson? It’s only a strum away.
