I have a Olson Ollandoc hollowbody guitar for trade. It has a beautiful burled mahogany top, sides and back loaded with the Olson pickup and switch system. It plays great and is an awesome sounding guitar.

Other features:

• Burled Mahogany top, back and sides
• Ebony tailpiece
• Gotoh locking tuners
• Brass saddle bridge
• Strap locks (included)
• Seymour Duncan SH-1 pickups

[Monson]

Not my thing.

A Trey guitar!

I like it. A couple details are a little odd, but that’s okay.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Overall, I like the idea of this but not the aesthetic of this particular one.

and that head stock…

Less binding would help.
Maybe a different colour.

 

[Chicken Man]

I like people who play those, but it doesn't fit my style, both in terms of playing and appearance. A cool guitar.

 

[Gorgon90]

Love the look of the burl but that bridge arrangement puts me off.

 

[DinoMikeSr]

Wish it had a center block. Beautiful guitar. I would pop a different bridge on it.

For what it is, a Languedoc copy. Not what I would buy, but...

 

[Denverdave]

Not my thing.

 

[Chad]

I don’t want a copy of the Phish guitar.

This.

Can’t speak to whether or not it’s a quality instrument. If it is, then I think the price is very solid. And it would fuck.

I can’t see myself getting it, though. Maybe if they make one with P90s and no zero fingerboard inlays.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Not my thing,either, but it has some appeal.

 

[jp_nyc]

It’s ugly at $10,000; making it cost $1,800 doesn’t make it any less ugly.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

I'm a big fan of the concept behind Languedocs, but barring the wood itself, I've never really liked the actual look/profile of the guitars. To that, if I wanted a high-end compact hollowbody guitar Artinger would be my choice. It's unclear if they still make guitars, but they've definitely made some gorgeous instruments.

 

[Honkridge]

Does it come with a jar of Grey Poupon?

 

[Machinegunner]

A poop brown uggo.

 

[LittleSnakes]

Doesn’t really do anything for me

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Too many knobs and switches and a bulbous tailpiece.
Otherwise I quite like it.

 

[PunkKitty]

Nope
