Sweet, sweet, sweet. I could listen to this all day. It inspires me, sometimes to improve and sometimes to turn my guitars into firewood (grin). Seriously, I would by a CD with you playing this type music and many others you've graciously shared.

Amazingly beautiful guitar, great sound (darker than I'd expected- that's a good thing), wonderful playing. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Thanks Keith! Looking forward to hearing you play your upcoming BRW guitar -- with long nails. Tell your wife it's just the right hand -- and only four fingers!

Thanks -- I'm honoured. It's a great position indeed but one that actually costs money rather than the other way around... LOL

Thanks, Mike!

Just before the firewood stage, give me a call, ok? I'll PM you my shipping address...

Thanks for the kind words.

To my ear, the SJ has a "crying" tone while still being fairly chunky in the midrange. I really love this guitar.

Thanks!

I actually didn't have to say much to Doug. He sent me two mixes and I chose the first one. Not much to argue about!

Very nicely done. As usual, I enjoyed listening to your music. Had to listen to Druim Lochmaighe while on your SoundCloud again, love that one as well.

Thanks!

"Druim Lochmaighe" is also available on my YouTube channel (it's the exact same sound track). It's probably my favourite recording with the Kraut.

That has to be one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. It inspires me to hope that one day I could commission such a piece of visual and acoustic art for myself.

Thanks Jim. The guitar is even prettier in person.

Jim Olson built 41 guitars this year and he won't commit to building another batch next year. I surely hope he keeps going so I can add another SJ to my collection.
