Who is James Olson?

James A. Olson is a legend in the world of acoustic guitar making. The Minnesota-based luthier is a cult favorite among guitar collectors around the world thanks to the instruments he’s built for James Taylor (Taylor’s Olson was once immortalized in cartoon form on a Simpson’s episode), Phil Keaggy, and Leo Kottke. Due to their high demand, Olson’s new creations start at $15,000. Source: Freboard Journal
