Default Olson SJ against Charis SJ Comparison video

Hi Guys ,

Just had the Charis SJ sent in ..it was Jon's( Grace Guitars) former guitar. I managed to get it setup and I was wondering why not i just shoot a video to compare...

of course the comparison would not be fair as one has a cedar top and the other an Engelmann Top..

but what the heck..just for fun ...

the charis has a new bracing pattern that Bill Wise employed..it has a brace just below the bridge plate followed by two fan braces below it .

here is that comparison video

for those who just want to watch how the Charis sounds here it is..
