Heinonen SJ European Spruce/Brazilian Rosewood

Description

The Heinonen SJ is luthier Drew Heinonen's take on the Olson SJ, which is based directly on the Olson SJ plus Drew's voicing technique. It is best suited for fingerstyle playing but can also handle flat-picking and more.

It favors solid overtones and harmonics with good sustain. The clarity on this guitar gives another dimension to the Olson smoothness.

This particular guitar pairs a fantastic set of old-growth, quartersawn Brazilian Rosewood on the back and side with a European Spruce top. One of the best wood combos for SJs.

Featuring Brazilian Rosewood and Paua Shell Abalone treatment to the aesthetic appointments gives an elegant visual and value for this beauty. Plus, this one can travel anywhere in the world with the CITES permit.
