You know, I love Olson guitars, they are awesome. Look at that silking in that top, nice nice nice. I can't wait to get all my subscription stuff. Hope it's soon. |

I just got my first one. What a great looking magazine. Can't wait to get it home and pour over it for an hour or so. Great pictures of those guitars. This "hobby" is gonna ruin me for real work. Between the magazine, books (bought the Romanillos and Bogdanovich books today.), and this forum, I can't get enough. Too much to learn. Not enough time to work. |

Hey Waddy T, that's what my sister in-law (my wife has an adopted sister who is now 19) use to call me back when she was 6. Now she just calls me a pain in the butt ![]() |

It's probably been mentioned before, but, who does Olsen's inlay? Outstanding work, all around! |

That's probably the most exquisite, classiest, cleanest guitars I've ever seen. What a phenomenal piece of work. I didn't see any specs on it for woods used, scale length, etc., but it sure is a thing of beauty. Craig S. |

Billy, in the past Jim Olson had Larry Robinson do his inlay work but now that he has a Fadel CNC, I'm sure he does it all himself. Maybe Paul Woolson knows as he had a recent visit with Jim. Craig, Jim is pretty partial to WRC and EIR for standard material. The body specs are hard to locate, but His SJ's are 15" lower bout, 4-5/8" at the tail and scale is 25.3+/- I believe. Jim does build really awesome guitars and they sound great too. |

I liked the compound radius fingerboard jig, it was so simple that I finally may make one too. |

What does everyone think about the double neck harp guitar? I get two main thoughts on this; 1. A work of art! 2. An engineering feat well beyond my scope of understanding! I’ve not read the article yet. This is just my first impression by the photos. Also, though I’m not much of a player, still I have to wonder how you play such an instrument? Robert |

It is really great, but where do you go to get harp guitar playing lessons? |

Arnt: what type of jig is it? ie, swing for the 'board, swing for a router, sander setup? I've built (need to test, tomorrow probably) Rick Micheletti's version, pretty simple overall, should work a treat. |
