I met Drew at the 2015 Fretboard Summit. He wasn’t exhibiting and didn’t have a booth, but he told me he had a couple of his guitars in the trunk of his car. So I followed him out to the parking lot and played both guitars in succession.

Exquisite work, and he’s a nice person, to boot. I had never heard of him prior to meeting him, but I walked away a fan.

Indeed, he's proving to be a nice person in my experience.

Congratulations! What a beauty!
I have never had the chance to play a Heinonen. Ever since I bought my Charis I have been curious about them. Both builders, Bill Wise and Drew Heinonen seem to take their cues from Olson.
Enjoy your new instrument!

Hi Craig!

Wow, that is a gorgeous instrument! I bet it sounds great, too! Congratulations on a really fine guitar!

Thanks! I don't know much about Bill but I do know that Drew worked with Olson on a bunch of custom builds, then went on to get permission from Jim to build using certain design elements of Jim's.

Hi Glenn!

Thanks, it sounds (to me) as good as it looks and feels.
