Drew Heinonen’s builds are a nod to Jim Olson, but with a flavor and tone all Drew’s own. This 2016 SJ is a beautiful example of that with Fiddleback Mahogany back and sides, Adirondack Spruce on top, and elegant wood appointments. It weighs in at a slim four pounds flat, and we love the slim carve of the neck for easy playability. You can lean into this one with an aggressive flatpicking attack and get a lot of bark, or sweetness with fingers. The trebles are smooth, cool, and oh so clear.

We don’t see enough of Drew’s guitars. They remind me very much of James Olson‘s instruments, sharing the shape and lines. This one has incredible Fiddleback Mahogany, and topped with Adirondack Spruce you get both immediacy and drive. Just wonderful. | Scale Length | 25.4000 in |
