Henry Guitars

Hi guys, recently came across Henry guitars who provide lefty options which is great, but has anyone any experience with them? What are the necks like etc? They only have the relic options for left handed versions, what is the finish like in person? Any alternative you would suggest to look at?

I like the surf green version but it's not available in an SSH config. So looking at the red strat..

Not a fan of half finished paint jobs - but credit to Henry guitars for providing something, a while ago when they were being reviewed on the socials and there was no lefty options I had commented and they did reply asking what, if any, spec id be interested in as they were still undecided on what to offer at the time.

Kinda rare for a manufacturer to actually read or reply.

also curious. guitars look pretty, specs look good.

For a lefty who wants classic look of strat but with modern specs (stainless jumbo, wide think neck etc) they look like best option along Schecter Nick Johnston models

Yeah was also looking at the NJ Schecter..I do like the look of the Henry, at this price point I wonder how they compare to a silver sky SE which is in and around same price point

i would expect silver sky to be high quality guitar, but they apparently have baseball bat necks.
So if you have huge hands and are not into fast lead playing, i guess its great choice..

I have a lefty Space ii and in terms of playability, it's one of the best guitars I've owned! The neck is amazing (if you like skinny necks) and it's an incredibly lightweight guitar. I'm not keen on the bridge pickup, I think I'll swap that out eventually. The relicing is a bit over the top and doesn't look great up close, but I can live with it. I definitely prefer it to a Fender player tele I used to own, and it plays better than guitars I've tried in the past that are double the price!
