For the uninitiated, Applegate is among the top-tier guitar builders anywhere. This would be a rare chance to buy one at a great price. GLWS.

Brian Applegate apprenticed with James Olson for 2 yrs, at the turn of the Millennium . They are very good friends , living in Minnesota .

I own an Applegate SJ with Madagascar rosewood back/sides (that was originally owned by mguynn). It is an absolutely incredible guitar and you won't be disappointed in this beauty he is selling now. I also own an Olson SJ and my Applegate is at the same high bar of build quality and tone.

I met Brian Applegate at his shop near Minneapolis last summer. We talked about guitars for nearly an hour and briefly about his time apprenticing with James Olson 25 years ago. He is a great guy and top notch luthier.

I've played a number of Applegate guitars (I live in Minnesota). Brian's builds are wonderful.
