As far as condition, the closer to mint the better. With or without a cutaway. Feel free to reach out if you have an SJ that you’ve been thinking about selling. Thanks in advance.

Your not going to get a bargain price on a near mint to mint Olson SJ...your going to pay premium money, because that is the going market price on them at EVERY condition level...and you almost never see an Olson SJ on the market that is less than near mint to mint. "Road Dog" Olson SJ's are almost non-existent. James Taylor's and Phil Keaggy's original Olson SJ's are really the only ones I have ever seen that have very noticeable wear and tear on them from decades of touring and recording use.

While I suppose there is a chance that you can find one super clean for a killer deal price, at the very least, you are not going to have to work super super hard at finding one, and likely having to wait a very long time to find one at below high market pricing.

Good Luck...but DON"T hold your breath good sir...
