Want To Buy: Olson SJ or Olson Dreadnought

[Cheval]

Hello,

Looking to purchase a Olson SJ or Olson Dreadnought.

Only want a Sitka or Adirondack top. Must have EIR or Brazilian back and sides.

Thanks

Just came here to find this ad and post about these as well. Pretty interesting. One was his brother's and one was his post man's. Haha.

Stevie has one at Mighty Fine Guitars, a 1990 Olson dread. Not sure on top wood, though it could be sitka. B&S are EIR for sure.

Thanks guys. I reached out to Carter Vintage twice and no response. Also I am aware of the one at Luthiers but not interested in Peacock fretboard inlay. Not my thing.

Also Mighty called twice and left messages and no response either.

Looking specifically for Sitka or Adirondack top. No European, Cedar etc. prefer EIR or Brazilian.

Thanks for looking out for me.

Sitka and 'hog (since you said EIR preferred...)

I've played it and can vouch for its sound and condition. Happy to report further the next time I visit.

I played the Dread at Carter’s earlier this month. A bit worn, but it’s sound was pretty unreal. I believe it was built for his brother or something.

Thanks for the update. Still looking bump
