Want To Buy: Olson SJ or Olson Dreadnought

[brianlcox]

I have a cedar topped SJ from 1997. I know you would prefer a spruce topped model, but you have been looking for a while without success. Let me know if you're interested.

Best,
Brian

I google Olson Guitar for Sale every day. It picks up most of them.

Dream Guitars usually has the most for sale, and they only have 2 right now.

Good luck with your search. Why no cedar top ?

Is that the one built by Jim’s Brother, David?

If you are willing to move beyond Sitka or Red Spruce to Engelmann, this was listed earlier today. Meets all your other preferences (e.g., EIR). Seems like a viable option given it's not a Cedar Soundboard.

That's a beauty! SO expensive! No doves though....

Having owned multiple Olson's, I think this price is right where it should be for a pretty basic SJ.

I've been watching an early Dred Olson hovering under $14k now. The 2 Olson parlor size guitars have been on the market for a long time. I guess it's all about the SJ size and the James Taylor connection.

Oh I'm not saying it's not a fair price, just expensive generally.
