Happy Monday, friends! ☀️

This week on Vintage Guitar Legacies, we’re proud to introduce master luthier Jim Olson. A true American craftsman, Jim’s lifelong curiosity and precision took him from tinkering with Schwinn bikes in small-town Wisconsin to building some of the world’s most coveted acoustic guitars. 

From a humble basement workshop to crafting instruments for legends like James Taylor and Phil Keaggy, Jim’s 40-year journey with Olson Guitars is nothing short of extraordinary. ✨

This old Martin D-28 has soaked up decades of music and memories. Sometimes I imagine Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, or Justin Townes Earle strumming these same strings, each leaving a bit of their spirit in the wood. More than just wood and steel, this guitar is a vessel of stories and songs, keeping those voices alive every time it’s played. 🎸

Full episode featuring the Steve Earle Martin D-28 is out now! Don’t forget to check the full episode on our YouTube channel! 👍
