I've had this for a while now and I love it. I would say definitely give them a shot. You can find some really nice grain on olive woods. I'm sure you'll be able to find one (or more) that you love.
I am a pretty big fan of jazz. I play bass guitar and dabbled into jazz a bit for some variety. My main gig was in a touring Death Metal band and playing some jazz and blues once in a while kept the playing sharp.
