Lean in a bit, cuz this one’s got lots of headroom. And how could it not? It’s a James Taylor Olson Clone from 2020, after all. Heirloom-grade Brazilian Rosewood back and sides (also at the rosette and bindings), Cedar top, Abalone treatment throughout plus doves along the fretboard. A truly gorgeous guitar. Tonally, we’re impressed by how well this responds to a harder attack, given its Cedar top, but as we said this is one Olson that you can really lean into. Strong, glassy, exquisite balance across the strings. Everything we’ve come to expect from an Olson, but this one goes all the way to eleven. Jim’s fit and finish is flawless throughout, and the SJ is finished in high gloss to make these tonewoods leap out at you. Slinky setup too, icing on the cake.
