I'm really tempted to go up to one of the guys and ask if the LP standard has a maple cap, and what size? It's either that or another question that's even harder to figure out.

"What do you mean a maple cap? LP's are mahogany guitars. But if you're looking for maple we have this great 335" Laughing

"You know that the 335 is carved out of a slab of wood, and hollowed out, right?"
See THAT reaction.

A soup cracker being sandblasted?

Wow, I need to work on my comparisons. I'm getting crushed in comparisons next to you guys....
It's like fighting a battle with a man without arms or legs with a nagging sense to hide when confronted...

Craig wrote:
Just as a way to clarify: I do not currently own an RM Olson guitar, but I have one on custom order whose arrival is anticipated in February. There is also a batch of 6 special guitars which are in production now. These are Les Paul Custom clones done as a tribute to the late, great Randy Rhoads. Robert did these by request especially for members of the Agile Guitar Forum. He also produced a Gibson ES-335 clone for a member of AGF and it turned out beautifully. And his acoustics... well, more good reviews!

I say this because I feel that Robert is a very rare breed of person who enjoys being able to help people get a good guitar for a fair price, even when it's custom made! In my experience with him on AGF, he has always been patient, tolerant, and open to suggestions. Having access to the owner of a guitar company is very uncommon, and even more so the willingness to actually LISTEN to his customers and what they want. That was the reason that I felt comfortable enough to send him a deposit on my custom.

Here is the link to R. M. Olson & Co. I really recommend checking it out, and he currently has his own discussion forum as well on his site:

http://www.rmolsonguitars.com/

If there are any Olson owners out there, feel free to post up a review for us to tide us over till we get our guitars. And rest assured that I'll have a review up once I get my custom in my hands.

Thanks guys!


Hello. My name is Tony I recently recieved my custom ordered lefty LP from Robert, and I have to say, (as I stated on the Agile forum) this is hands down the best deal you will get on a custom guitar. The guitar looks fabulous and plays just like she looks. I can't wait for the RR guitar to arrive! My experience with Robert has been very pleasent. He was always quick to respond to any questions I had about my guitar. I'm hoping to order a few more guitars from him and would encourage anyone to buy one of his guitars. Olsons are not only affordably priced, in my opinion, his quality is superior to anything on the market at double his prices. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about my experience with Robert and his guitars, either on this here forum or you can e mail me at darkshore2003@yahoo.com thanks!!
