Thanks. He has only made 4 prior to this one, and one of them is my Olson #1301 SJ Brw/Cedar. He says just too hard to find Brw rwd that works for a neck.

Here is #1301:

Thanks. I have owned hundreds of guitars.... and my current Olson dread is my favorite to play. I am going to put the LR Baggs Anthem in this one since I will use it when I play out. My other Olson dread is going to my band mate.

I have to concur wholeheartedly. My first thought was how does someone build such a guitar and what have I missed out all these years!!!

Very, very nice! As always Jim somehow manages to exceed expectations every time.

When I was at his shop, I could tell the way it was going to sound just listening to Jim hum loudly in the soundhole. This will be the finest dread I have ever played I have no doubt.

Thanks, I am really excited. Jim knows how much I love figured Brazilian, he picked a really nice piece for the headstock. He is really such a pleasure to work with.
