Beautiful guitar and a great story! You are very fortunate and I am somewhat envious. Enjoy your treasure and thanks for sharing.

I've never had the opportunity to play one of Jim's guitars. Just as well because I doubt I could afford one!
HATS OFF to a GREAT luthier who has been at the top of his profession for many years!

I really like that his process puts out the amazing consistency he gets with all his guitars. Thanks for all the nice remarks, I am truly blessed to own these great guitars. When I die, just don't let my wife sell my guitars for what I told her they cost.

Wow -- great story, and it sounds like a great experience, especially meeting and hanging out with Mr Olson.
I've only ever played one of his guitars, owned by Brian Doerksen -- a beautiful instrument. Enjoy!

Olson
Congratulations on your beautiful new 6 string Olson. I bet it sounds as good as it looks. Glad you had the chance to meet up with Jim and spend the day together. Enjoy it in good health!

The new guitar has motivated me to play more 6 string, and get cleaner with my sound.
I must admit that it is kicking my 12 string callouses right now. I know that will diminish with more playing. If you want a new Olson, I would do it sooner rather than later. I see him reducing the number of guitars he builds as he enjoys his time in the desert away from the shop.

So I have to ask Digman, any chance you are doing any local Demos?
 Sure is a beaut and I'll bet it has the tone to match. Congrats

Beautiful guitar. I think you might have been referring to my build thread regarding the Olson class of 2017. I received my SJ about 3 weeks ago and just love it! I was very happy to get on Jim's list as I agree, he isn't building many guitars these days. He was a pleasure to work with as well.
