His instruments are also sold in some of the most prestigious guitars stores in the country. One of Nickerson's guitars is currently on exhibition at the Smithsonian as part of the exhibit of the Blue Guitar Collection of instruments commissioned by Scott Chinnery.
Norman Guitars:
The village of La Patrie, Quebec is the home of Norman guitars. La Patrie was settled in 1875 and many of today?s Norman employees can trace their ancestry back to the original settlers. The courage and survival of these pioneers is amazing considering the daunting combination of dense forests, mountains and incredibly harsh winters. We pay tribute to these brave folks here. You?ll see actual pictures of early La Patrie, many of them dating back as far as the early 1900's. It?s a heritage of which we are proud and which has produced a community of hard-working people dedicated to the craft of guitar making.
Olson Guitars:
Jim offers three full-sized body styles: SJ (Small Jumbo), Jumbo, and Dreadnaught. Shown here are an SJ (front), two Dreadnaughts and a Jumbo (right) with a variety of woods and finishes. The most popular Olson model is the SJ with a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides; one is shown on the left, and two on the right along with a spruce-top Jumbo (center). First built for Phil Keaggy in the mid-1980s, the popularity of the cedar-top SJ grew further when James Taylor purchased two (one with a cutaway) along with a Dreadnaught. The SJ is also very popular with a Sitka or Engelman spruce top.
