Oliver Jr. Live

Excellent Little Guitar

My Oliver Jr arrived in perfect condition and is beautiful to look at and sounds great. I wanted a smaller "1940's sounding" guitar to play old time blues. This one does it perfectly. Mahogany really gives it a good tone. Build is flawless, string setup perfect. Quality is obvious. I think it's a bargain for what you get.

Nice guitar

Travel sized with big sound. Liking for the most part getting used to the smaller neck, i like it. Easier to barre chords. Some slight buzzing at high frets but i think its geting better. Break in period perhaps? Staying in tune nicely after first couple days. I live in high humidity climate and its spring with lots of variability in temp and humidity. Probably reaking havoc on thsi poor guy.

Incredible Value - Excellent Instrument

I am a full-time professional guitarist based in New York City. I was in the market for a short scale or mini guitar, preferably mahogany, in order to make a high strung/nashville-tuned guitar. I decided to take a shot on the Oliver Jr. Live since it seemed like a good candidate. For a hair over $300, this guitar is shockingly good. It stays in tune, has good fretwork and sounds solid with Nashville tuning strings on it. The Fishman pickup is a completely welcome addition and it’s hard to believe this feature is included given the price point. Definitely recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a mini style. Oh, and the gig bag is a nice one too— insane all of this is included for the price, to be honest!
