I am waiting on Jim Olson. He is working 20 hours a day so as soon he sends me more, then they will get immediately posted. My sense is it is not so far away.

Last time I was speaking to him he was already in the spraying booth filling the guitars. I cannot believe how hard this man works. Many of us do, but most of us take a day off on occasion (like a Sunday). |

Well Keith, looks like yours is the one with the logo on the back, yes?
And Karl, yours is the Yin Yang, right? Beauties all!

Yes... you can tell by the darker wood neck on mine....I think the 4th Olson ever built with a Brz rosewood neck.

I am amazed how Jim executed it. He said it took him almost a day because the thin circle broke a few times when he cut it. I like it that it's invisible (except for me and you all |

did you also notice that Jim chose the darkest of all mahoganies for mine? I really like your dark Braz neck, but it was beyond (!) my financial possibilities |

Keith, I can only echo the thanks for always sharing your love of Olsons. I always look forward to the next pics.
I find it fascinating seeing different luthiers "workflow" and build strategies. Of course this thread has also shown so much of Jim's years of experience and craft in streamlining the build process (as well as the creation of specific tools and jigs) in critical areas to enable him to build fine guitars which are still expertly handcrafted. Wonderful thread. Last edited by Racman; 10-29-2010 at 09:44 AM. |

I see mine three necks down from Keith's. It also has an inlay on the back of the headstock.
