Keith, Absolutely gorgeous set of brazilian, and great specs and appointments. A friend of mine has just finalized her build specs with Jim, and she will be in the same group as you. I am looking forward to seeing the pictures of your build as it progresses. Congratulations!

I am happy for you!

To whoever it was who called or emailed Jim Olson to complain about your serial number, all you did was upset him.
He is an incredible talent overburdened with a high class problem of everyone wanting a slice of his time. If you have an Olson in production, be happy about it and be happy for anyone who is getting one as well instead of obsessing over such details and causing anyone to get upset for any reason.

Congratulations on the Olson guitar. However, I am very sorry to hear about the upset over the serial number.
I don't care how good someone is at their job, you can NEVER please everyone. It's always somethin'... Regards, Glenn |

I get depressed everytime I see one of these threads, knowing I will never have the means to fund one myself. I must say though, I am looking forward to the future pictures lol.

That Brazilian looks look it will make a beautiful looking, and hopefully sounding, guitar.
Coke Zero - I agree that seeing all these builds really makes me interested in getting something like that done. |

I love updates...
I joined up your back today. It is really a killer piece! And the sides are more than generous enough for a cut-away. Best, Jim

CPA,
Here's an attempt to give you a visual of what the guitar could look like using the picture of the wood for the back you posted. I hope this helps you to see what a stunner this guitar is going to be! Congrats on the build and a great guitar!

The sister to my back is the Brazilian Rosewood "Stealth" guitar on his recently sold section on his web site...but mine has the paua backstrip and the brazilian heel so it will look like the one you showed. My wife tells me that I have not been this excited since the viper: Here is the "Stealth":

Nice appointments, Keith. A time will come when all the choice BRW sets are a thing of the past. Yours will be a gem. You have commisioned one of the best luthiers to craft your guitar.
A very nice addition to your "harem". Looking forward to your future postings. Why would anyone fuss over a serial# I wonder? It's just a series of numbers to identfy something.

Bruce...I had no idea you actually did that. That is incredible!
It is amazing looking. I am amazed you took the time to do that and really appreciate it. I just cannot believe I have to wait 9-12 months....

It may seem like a while but there was a time when the waits were YEARS. 9-12 is really not that bad now
