Although I think it might be dangerous to play the show with your new Olson. I know if it were me...we're on stage...drummer counts off...everyone hits that first chord and I'm standing frozen with my tongue down to my knees ogling that beautiful instrument. |

Guitars were meant to be played... and this one will be too. No room for a closet queen. I have played my current Olson dread on every single gig I have ever played in the past 2 years. And will plan on playing this dread for a very long period of time at my gigs. Then again, I try to avoid the heavy bar cramped scene for gigs. I will probably starting bringing another dread to some gigs to mix it up. Sometimes I bring another guitar if I want to look like a rock star LOL. Woops, rock stars don't have guitars this nice! Besides we don't have a drummer! Just two female and two male vocalists, and the two males play guitars and I also play fiddle, mandolin and harmonica. I do most of the singing except when I have a fiddle or mandolin in my hands, that is hard for me to both sing and play one of those!

I love the orange...I'd checked out a Calton a while back and that was my color of choice as well (it's great to be a Florida Gator) One of these days I'm sure I'll bite the bullet. My guitars up to this point have been nice, but replaceable so I don't need the ultra protection Calton affords, but I can certainly see why you'd shell out to protect an instrument that's sure to be a special one! |

Instead of going on a weeks vacation to the caymans, I think I'd rather hang out with Jim for a week.
I'd be happy to sweep the floor every night. Just give me a cot & a blanket, & I'll slum it by the days work.

Jim's shop is very well organized and is an impressive shope for sure.

Keith,
I'm beyond speechless looking @ your Olson! After gauking on jims website for years looking @ all the galleries of special guitars, I'd have to rate your Olson as one of the tops of all time in my book.
