This
is one of Jim's earlier works made
from flamed maple with a spruce top (has yellowed over time).
It belonged to a professional musician (one owner) who purchased
it in 1992. Over its life it has been played at concerts and in
the studio (multiple CDs).

Although it shows some road wear (its a player's guitar--and shouldn't
Olsons be played and shared with others?), fundamentally it is in
good condition: the neck setting, bridge and lower bout, combined,
are all sound; a great setup. And here you have an Olson that has
opened up over 10 years: sweet, clear and balanced. |

Other
appointments include a fingerboard bound with purfling lines which
continue around the headstock; thick one-inch wide abalone fingerboard
position markers; a colorful abalone rosette; gold Schaller tuners
with ebony buttons. Underneath the saddle is an L. R. Baggs LB6
pickup (the entire saddle has an embedded pickup) with an L. R.
Baggs "Micro Drive" pre-amp inside
the body. |

The
body is bound with ivoroid with herringbone purfling on the top
and back seam. The remainder of the body, on the sides, in the cutaway
and endgraft, are inlaid with fine purfling. |

The
wear includes a few scratches on the lower bout (quarter-inch; down
to the wood), also a half dozen very small dings. See pictures:
lower bout left,
mid
and right.
The guitar is minus its former pickguard (presently in the case
string compartment)--but shows no major pick marks where the guard
use to be. There is an eighth-inch (round) mark on the neck
(down to the wood), located next to the fingerboard binding in the
2d position. There is also a small ding on the opposite side of
the neck at the 5th position, and a very small pin-size ding on
the heel. The upper
side, toward the bottom has a one-inch scratch (in the wood);
and on the opposite bottom
side there is a deep scratch (one-inch), along with a couple
of dings.
The
back has a few minor surface marks. |

Although
this SJ has its "beauty marks", it will be one Olson you
will not be afraid to take out and play outside the home. And, its
sound will not disappoint you. |
