Default James Olson Parlor - The ONLY Brazilian cutaway parlor!

This rare guitar is THE ONLY BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD PARLOR CUTAWAY Jim Olson has made. He built about 12 parlor guitars of which about 5 were Brazilian Rosewood parlors. The rest were East Indian rosewood. Jim told me in 2018 he will never make another parlor. This parlor cutaway was built for Pat Alger, the Nashville based Hall of Fame singer-songwriter. The 2nd owner of the instrument bought it directly from Pat Alger and consigned it to Mandolin Brothers in NYC (Staten Island). Owner #3 bought it in 2012 from Stan Jay, owner of Mandolin Bros.

This historically unique guitar is in superb condition and comes with a dual pickup system and original Olson hardshell case.

PRICE: $25,000 plus shipping USPS Priority Express, signature required, and you (BUYER) assume all liability in shipping. USPS max insurance is $5,000 so I am open to other shipping methods if you prefer.

Thumbs up

This is a spectacular guitar - a looker, a tone monster and a great build from one of our very best luthiers today. I played it last month, and it does everything you want an Olson to do.

Great opportunity here!
