Olinto has a Jazz



Olinto has a J5 too. The stacked knobs and tomato red is awesome! I have no practical need for it, but it would be a great gift to self for retirement.:bassist:


I just checked Reverb out of curiosity, and the prices have raised a lot :eek:

More than 5.300$ for a 5 string J (maple fb).
And almost 4.800$ for a stacked knob 4 string J (rw fb).

I remember when those went for a bit over 2.000 not long ago...

It is probably cheaper than a Fender Custom Shop stack knob, and I don't think Fender does a five string version, but I could be wrong.

True. And these are also handbuilt, so it's a another league.

I'd probably have one already if I happened to be in the US, but I've never came accross any of them around my neck of the woods. I'm unable to purchase without playing the thing first, sadly.

Holy fudge! Yeah, that's a whole lot higher than they were a few years ago. I would rather have a US Lakland jazz for $1000 cheaper.
