Drew is a pretty amazing builder. Even his bracing shows a true artist's hands at work. For a younger guy, he's amazing. I can only imagine the guitars that he'll be building by the time he's an older man.

I agree. I fear his prices will spike for no chance at me getting a cedar top version. |

I sold every guitar except for the 1936 Dobro Model 37 Squareneck that my Dad bought brand new. I am going to collect Heinonens from now on. The shop in Seoul is called "Fine Luthiers". Last edited by Wally Taylor; 03-03-2021 at 09:52 AM. |

Oh man I remember that redwood one! After this one comes in I’m sure I’ll start scheming for a cedar top. Sounds like ours will be batch brothers! Ha! I have watched just about every video out there on YouTube. The guy that plays for Fine Luthiers is as solid as they come. Drew said he loves it when he plays one of his guitars. It makes his phone ring. Hahaha! |

Yep. I'm sure they're all waiting for the weather to warm up so he can start up the finish booth. I can't wait to play it. I'm having a problem with my left arm, and they aren't sure if it will improve. Essentially I can't play at all right now. It's heck getting old. I don't recommend it the way thing are going for me right now.

I agree. The SJ I'm getting this Spring has a lot of extras, plus a Forest Green Hoffee CF case with the out case cover. I figured I may as well do it now. I have two more spots in two years, and they won't have all of the Abalone inlay that this one will have. But, the first one will have Sinker Redwood on the top and probably Madi again. I'm a big fan of Madagascar B&S. I have a friend who has a guitar by another builder, but it's An SJ.with Sinker Redwood and Madagascar. I can hardly put it down when I play it. I really have a great appreciation for Drew's guitars. I've played three of his SJ's, and I can't wait to get mine this Spring. We'll have to keep in touch.

Heinonen SJ adi/madi
Drew has applied the pore filler and wanted me to see how the wood is going to pop. And pop it does! Last edited by Bone0305; 03-13-2021 at 11:28 AM. |
