Olson James Taylor Signature 1 Clone 2017, Cedar & Indian Rosewood

Jim Olson and James Taylor—need we say more? The original JT Signature guitars came out in 2002, a limited run of 100 standard and 20 special edition models that are now very hard to find. The series was revived again in 2017, and the "Clone" JTs like this one sport the same tonewoods, feel and voicing of those earlier models. Jim paired cedar and Indian rosewood, a perfect combo for a soulful fingerstyle master like James. It's lightweight and effortlessly responsive, delivering up those shimmering arpeggios with perfect ease. The abalone purfling, rosette and backstrip, and the MOP bird fretboard inlays add a beautiful touch, and an L.R. Baggs Element pickup comes pre-installed.
