Hmmm . . . you may be asking the wrong person on that one. My general feeling when it gets up into the luthier built category is, unless it's a really whacked-out profile, I'm usually pretty happy. Most seem to gravitate toward a medium C shape, which is more or less what I prefer.

I found most of the guitars at the show to be very playable, with the body shape being the biggest comfort factor that drew my attention. To be honest, all I noticed is that the guitar "felt right." The wedge made the larger body seem OM-like and the neck shape and setup were more or less right in my "ideal" range.

What is it about the Olson that makes it more playable than others?
