We are extremely excited to offer you this 2010 Olson SJ today! This masterwork has got all the sweet spots covered: Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, Western Red Cedar top, Olson’s trademark 5-piece neck of Mahogany, Maple, and Rosewood. Olson’s bindings are all Brazilian Rosewood—as is the rosette, in a beautiful radial arrangement of grain patterns—and everything’s trimmed with Abalone and wood lines. Olson’s doves demarcate the Ebony fretboard, and rich Brazilian Rosewood adorns both the top and bottom of the headstock. Rosewood bridge: check. Ebony Gotoh 510 tuners: check. Perfect fit and finish: check.
All of those beautiful components, when assembled with Olson’s calibre of Luthierie, yield a guitar which puts all others to shame. To call an SJ a ‘sound cannon’ is almost cliché—but this is an SJ which sets the bar at an almost unreachable level. Each register, from low to high, absolutely sings; it’s like there’s three or four guitars playing at once. The tone is rich, decadent, vibrant. Everything, from note separation to setup, is perfectly balanced. It’s practically perfect.
This guitar comes with an L.R. Baggs LB6 pickup.
Jim's is basically a household name among contemporary builders, and that's because his precision techniques squeeze every last ounce of tone and projection out of his builds. The guy's a machine: no mistakes. This SJ is a fine example of that, and it showcases some unique woods: the Brazilian Rosewood in this guitar came from a salvaged architectural "beam" that Jim was able to purchase during a trip to Brazil. Old growth, straight grained and quarter sawn, it sports the characteristics many consider the "grail" of Brazilian�and that cup contains some of the sweetest liquid music you'll ever hear. 
I love this little beauty. I immediately started getting many ideas about what i could use it for. It's fun to play and sounds great. | Scale Length | 25.25 in |
