Up for sale is this 1998 Olson SJ. It features: 

  • Indian rosewood back/sides
  • Cedar top
  • SJ body w/ Florentine cutaway
  • Ebony bridge, fretboard, and headplate
  • Schaller tuners
  • Tortoiseshell binding
  • Herringbone backstrip and top trim
  • Abalone rosette
  • 1 and 3/4" nut, 2 and 1/4" spacing
  • 25 and 3/8" scale

Here's a lovely SJ from revered luthier Jim Olson. This one should make quite a splash, with the EIR/cedar combo, Florentine cutaway, and excellent condition. It has that SJ sound that made Jim famous and James Taylor fall in love with his guitars. It's sparkling, balanced, and dynamic, with even response. I'm going out on a limb here and doing an auction (which I haven't done in years), but keep in mind this guitar is for sale elsewhere. So please make an offer! Comes with original tweed case, which is missing a latch but still works fine. 

Please note that any sale price over $10,000 USD will need to be completed via bank wire transfer. 

Cosmetically, this guitar is in very good to excellent condition. It has one scrape on the top (pictured), and a bit of finish bubbling around the B-string tuner. Otherwise, you can tell it's 17 years old but that it's been babied that whole time. 

Serial #: 738
