Model O
SJ / Auditorium
-
The TL Model O is a hybrid blend of a Traditional OM and an Olson SJ shape. It is the perfect instrument for all styles of music. They have a full voice with a lush and full harmonic range. They have sympathetic resonance and sustain for days. These guitars are the pinnacle of my building experience.

Model SC
Small Concert
-
Designed around a broken hand-me-down Olson Sj Cedar top that Jim had already installed the Rosette on, the SC is essentially a Model O with an inch taken out of the center. It is similar to a 00 or 0 body shape from the early 1900’s. With either a 14 or 12 fret neck it is the perfect small body guitar. It is pure Fingerstyle perfection.

Model C
Wee Jumbo
-
The Model C is a scaled down Model O, think 90%. It’s the perfect couch or traveler guitar. It has a full concert voice and build level. Featuring a balanced tone, harmonic sustain and all of the beneficial ergonomics that come with a small instrument, this guitar is the ideal companion for a serious player that wants to keep their instrument close.
