It’s a rare day when we get to spend it with one of Drew Heinonen’s guitars. This SJ comes to us from 2018 with fantastically Figured Sapele back and sides (The Tree devotees take note), Cedar on top, and the Olson-inspired Abalone dove inlays and multi-laminated neck. Slender profile for an agile lefthand feel, and a light buildweight to boot. This particular wood combination balances a crisp fundamental with just enough warm overtones to make for a voice that’s complex, but has good motion and separation across the registers. The bass in particular has a sweet blooming quality when big chords are left to ring out.

I recently got to visit with Drew at an industry event, and I'm always reminded how nice of man he is. I think that's important because it comes through in the final instrument. This beautiful guitar has a wonderful sparkle and chime that's supported by warm midrange and bass. It's a quintessential fingerstyle guitar that also is happy to be strummed. A sweetheart. 
I love this wood combo. Great mix of crisp fundamental and overtones for the voice to feel rich, but not oversaturated. Coming from Jim Olson's lineage, Drew nails it with a slender neck profile and Abalone dove fret markers. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
