These build threads are wonderful,
Thanks to Jim for providing you such great photo's of the build. I had the opportunity to play a Olson SJ cutaway, Rosewood/Cedar that Steve Swan had for sale several years ago. It was an Incredible guitar!! Had that wonderful dry/clear/airy tone that the best old vintage guitars possess. It was just beyond my budget, Otherwise |

Olson build
I really don't understand what all the hype is about. Looks easy enough to me.....I'll just run out back to*my shed a whip one up. If anyone else wants one just send your deposit.

Keith, Such great photos...Jim is so careful about doing the best that he can on each guitar he builds! I'm absolutely convinced that you will love what he is building for you as much as I love the one he built for me in his last batch! He is truely a master at the top of his game. Congrats and enjoy the rest of the wait!
Vic

So here we go...just a very small sample....but this lets one of the big secret out of the bag......
Yes...that is a Brazilian Rosewood neck made by the hands of Jim Olson... how lucky am I! This is the third Brazilian Rosewood neck he has ever made. This guitar gets more amazing every time I see it...and there are a few more surprises in store. What a work of art. My neck and guitar together - that is going to be AMAZING I still cannot believe it....Wait until you see the fretboard inlays!
