Default Bespoke Build : Drew Heinonen SJ Cedar/Indian RW : Fine Luthiers

Hi, Folks

We've got a bespoke build going on with Drew in the current batch. Some new aesthetic appointments were ordered for this build.
Hopefully, this thread can help folks who plan to commission a Heinonen SJ.

The client got a great impression of Drew's work after he tested the Cedar/Cocobolo SJ at our showroom.
He re-visited a few times and decided to go for a Cedar/Indian RW SJ. The client has no doubt about the tone then he tried to achieve a specific look for this SJ.

Here is the spec we nailed together for this build.

Spec

Body - SJ with Florentine Cutaway
Top - Western Red Cedar
B/S - East Indian Rosewood
Rosette - Radial Wood Rosette (Cocobolo)
Backstrip - Wood Accent (Cocobolo)
End Wedge - Wedge(Cocobolo) + Wood Accent strips (Cocobolo) + W/B/W Purfling
Top Purfling - Wood Accent (Cocobolo)
B&S Purfling - W/B/W
Binding - Cocobolo
Neck - 5piece neck (Olson neck profile)
Inlays - Wood+Shell head logo (Cocobolo + Abalone)
Heelcap - Ebony (Subtle Grain)
Headstock front veneer - Ebony (Jet Black)
Headstock back veneer - Ebony (Subtle Grain)
Truss rod Cover - Ebony (Subtle Grain)
Fretboard - Ebony bound with Wood Accent (Cocobolo)
Bridge - Ebony
Frets - Nickel frets
