From campfire chords to concert stages – Henry’s acoustic lineup has the right guitar to match your style.

Every player has their sound. Some chase warm folk tones, others go for that bright, punchy resonance. At Henry’s Music, we’ve got an acoustic for every kind of musician – from weekend strummers to stage veterans. The question is simple: which one has your vibe?

A Quick Guide to Acoustic Guitars

Dreadnought, OM, Grand Auditorium… it’s easy to get lost in the terms describing acoustic guitars. Let’s take a deep dive to make it clear out once and for all.

Body shapes:

Dreadnought: Big body, bold sound, and deep bass like the one produced by our Emperor or Bonefire. Ideal for strummers who like their sound to fill the room.
OM (Orchestra Model): Balanced tone, comfortable shape, great for fingerstyle and expressive playing. Simply a perfectly designed guitar, like our Empress.
Auditorium: The auditorium has a medium-sized body, which is smaller and thinner than a dreadnought. The sound is balanced in both treble and bass, making it ideal for fingerstyle playing.
Grand Auditorium: The all-rounder. Slightly larger than an auditorium and a little smaller than a dreadnought but with a full voice and great projection perfectly embodied by the Daily.
Round shoulder: Also known as slope or curved shoulders like our Every, round shoulder acoustic guitars are based on dreadnoughts and as such, they produce rich sound with beautiful bass. The difference in shape is often just preference-based, as some guitarists find them easier to play.
Jumbo: Jumbo guitars are the largest and heaviest acoustic guitars, producing strong bass and loud sound. The downside is that they can be less comfortable to play, especially while standing.
Mini Acoustic Guitars: Mini acoustics are not only a good choice for children, but make great travel guitars. They have a shorter scale length and come in various standard acoustic shapes (dreadnought, jumbo, etc.) in sizes 3/4 or ⅞, like our Street.

Tonewoods:

If you’re new to the acoustic world, think of it like picking your favorite genre – your guitar’s “tonewood mix” will set the mood for everything you play. Henry’s mostly uses following tonewoods:

Spruce gives brightness and clarity.
Mahogany adds warmth and midrange punch.
Rosewood brings richness and deep bass.
Ebony makes your playing feel fast and silky.

Guitar Parts:

Cutaway: the curved section on the upper part of the guitar body that lets you reach the higher frets more easily. It’s perfect for solos or melodic playing where you need full access to the neck.
Nomex Honeycomb: A synthetic core material placed between two layers of wood in a Double Top. It reduces weight and increases stiffness, giving the guitar a louder sound.
Bracing: The internal wooden framework that supports the top of the guitar and shapes its sound. Henry’s usually uses Special Scalloped X Bracing, which reduces the weight and helps to produce a richer, louder sound.
Fretboard: The long wooden surface on the neck where you press the strings.
Headstock: The top part of the guitar neck that holds the tuning pegs.
Pickguard: A thin protective plate on the guitar body that prevents scratches from strumming or picking.
Truss Rod: A metal rod inside the neck that allows precise adjustment of neck curvature, keeping the guitar playable under varying string tensions and climates. Henry’s using dual-action truss rods, which correct both forward bow and backbow.

Henry’s Daily – Built for Everyday Playing

The Daily Line comes in both purely acoustic and electro-acoustic versions, so you can choose the setup that fits your playing style.

Besides this distinction, the line contains two different sets of guitars – Daily and Every. As you can probably tell from its name, Daily is the original acoustic and Every is a younger sister.

Both guitars share the same solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, which give them a warm, natural tone with plenty of clarity. In short, they’re built from the same quality materials and crafted with the same attention to detail – the main difference lies in how their body shapes impact the sound and feel. The Grand Auditorium body of the Daily feels sleek and focused, great for players who move between strumming and picking, whereas the Every comes in the Round Shoulder shape. Last but not least, the Daily features a 45mm nut width, while the Every is slimmer with 43mm.

.

Henry’s Monarch – Royal Sound for Refined Players

If the Daily is your reliable rhythm guitarist, the Monarch Line is your lead virtuoso – refined, elegant, and always on point.

The OM24 Empress model is built with a solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides, giving it a vibrant projection with a warm, round finish. Its OM shape sits comfortably on your lap and delivers a balanced sound that’s ideal for expressive playing. Add a mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, and gold hardware, and you’ve got a guitar that feels as smooth as it looks. The natural gloss finish lets the tone breathe – and makes sure all eyes are on you when you hit that first chord.

For players who want even more power, the D24 Emperor brings in the full dreadnought experience. An all-solid rosewood body with a solid Sitka spruce top creates a deep, booming voice with crystal-clear highs. With its scalloped X bracing, the D24 sings with dynamic range and authority. It’s a showstopper that looks and sounds majestic – from the gold vintage tuners to the intricate rosette and natural wood finish.

.

Henry’s Street – Compact Body, Premium Soul

The Henry’s Street acoustic guitar takes the Grand Auditorium body and reimagines it into a compact, travel-friendly version without sacrificing tone. Its unique Double Top combines solid spruce with Nomex honeycomb, a high-end material known from carbon-fiber guitars. This structure makes the top lighter, stiffer, and more responsive, giving the guitar longer sustain, brighter projection, and better stability in any climate.

Built from mahogany, spruce, and rosewood, the Street shares the Monarch’s premium tonewoods but adds a modern twist. The Fishman Sonitone GT2 pickup delivers clear, natural sound on stage, while its bold design with gold hardware, visible wood grain, and floral neck relief adds a nice visual touch.

Photo recap: A splash of pink at Guitar Summit 2025

Over the weekend, the biggest guitar event of the year, Guitar Summit 2025, took place in Mannheim. And we went all in.

We hope you had a blast, because we sure did! Two years ago we had only two guitar prototypes and a few guitar accessories. This year our pink booth was buzzing with guitarists and other musicians trying our electric and acoustic guitars, including exciting new models from and beyond the guitar world. Last but not least, we set up our barber shop with Guitar Barber, where the customer is your guitar.

This year’s Guitar Summit left us inspired, grateful, and ready to turn up the volume even more. A big thank you to everyone who came by, played our guitars, talked shop, and kept the music flowing. We can’t wait to see you again next year!

What is Guitar Summit about?

You can be among the first to try fresh guitars from the Snake Series II, Space Series II and Destiny Series II. We are also bringing a new electro-acoustic guitar Street, and making its debut, the very first Henry’s bass guitar. And because every performance needs the right details, you can personally choose from our accessories such as strings, straps and picks.

Meet the makers… and creators

Come to chat with the Henry’s crew – and Henry himself! As usual, our gang of product designers, brand managers, social media magicians and Barbers will be joined by the CEO Jindrich “Henry” Strelka and this time a few well-known creators. But fret not (guitar pun intended), this won’t be a boring business meeting – we’re Czech, so we’re bringing beer.

Plus, this year we’re holding a special subscriber giveaway, and one lucky winner will walk away with a guitar from the Snake Series! The winner will be announced live by Bernd Kiltz, so make sure you stick around. Maybe the winner will be among the visitors!

This is how we rolled at Guitar Summit 2024

From Design to Delivery: The Quality Check Process At Henry’s

Your guitar deserves the stage. Not the repair bench. Our rigorous quality checks catch problems before they reach you, so you can skip the hassle and dive straight into your music. Read on to find out how we at Henry’s make sure your new axe arrives ready to rock your world.

At Henry’s Music, we understand that your guitar is more than just an instrument – it's your voice. That is why we perform rigorous quality checks before each shipping. Follow us on the journey, from product design to a luthier workstation.

Step 1: Why Design Choices Matter

The quality control process starts long before the guitar is even built. Our team carefully selects every piece of wood, shape, pickup, and color to make sure the guitar delivers the sound and comfort you're after. Our product designers come up with new guitar designs based on feedback and years of experience in the industry. You asked for a wider neck? You got it. Wanted improved pickups? We got your back.

Step 2: The Golden Sample Guarantees Consistency

Before a new range of instruments is manufactured, we test each new sample with a full, extensive soundcheck to create what we call the golden sample. It is a single product that arrives from the factory, manufactured based on the first product design. This sample is checked for its tuning, durability and playability. This becomes the gold standard for the entire line. That means the guitar you order will sound and feel just like the one you saw in the demo or read about online.

Step 3: Factory Checks That Save You Troubles

In the manufacturing factory, each guitar is inspected by trained technicians right after it’s made. They follow detailed steps to make sure everything is tight, clean, and working. This way, we catch small issues before they become your problems. You won't deal with scratchy knobs, loose jacks, or sharp fret edges because we deal with them for you.

Step 4: Final Setup By Expert Local Luthiers

Before your new guitar leaves our hands, it gets a full inspection in our workshop in the Czech Republic. Led by Vladimir, our expert technician with over 30 years of experience, our in-house team of guitar luthiers follows precise setup values for each model and checks the hardware, sound, and the design.

Everything must fall in place. Tuning machines must turn smoothly. The bridge, nut, and saddles must respond cleanly. The input jack is checked for firm contact, a pickup height is dialed in for dynamic response.

Our team looks for sharp frets, dead notes, loose hardware, and anything that might mess with your groove. If it’s not perfect, we fix it. After a final play test, your guitar is ready to be shipped right to you. But not before it gets an authentic, CEO-signed certification so you can be sure you’re getting the real deal.

Henry’s Guitar Quality Control

We started it. Now it’s in your hands
Once the guitars leave our workshop, it’s all down to you. To extend their life and preserve their great sound, treat them to proper care with Henry’s Barber Collection. Keep your strings crisp with our String Cleaner: Renew, nourish and protect the wood with the Fretboard Care Serum, and give the body a streak-free shine using the Glossy Cleaning & Polishing Spray. For the finishing touch, the Guitar Barber Tool Set equips you with everything needed for precise tuning and maintenance. With this complete care routine, your guitar will always look fresh, feel smooth, and sound its absolute best.

Be a hero that everyone needs with CK78

You’re the hero. The Henry's CK78 is your superpower.

Every hero has an origin story. The CK78 is no different. Forged from the idea of superheroes and comic books, this guitar was built to give players extraordinary powers – to switch from soft nylon warmth to bold electric punch in a heartbeat.

From Comic Pages to Stages

Superheroes live between worlds: ordinary humans on one side, unstoppable forces on the other. That duality inspired us. We wanted a guitar that could wear both masks – the noble tone of nylon strings and the raw energy of electric sound. The CK78 was born from this vision – to combine the best of two worlds, the classic and the modern.

CK Hybrid Guitar Series for Modern Guitarists

The CK is a true fusion of two guitar types – classical nylon-string guitars and solid-body electric guitars. The body silhouette nods to the Telecaster tradition, but streamlined for this hybrid concept, creating an instrument that feels familiar in the hands while offering a new voice. Despite its solid construction, the weight is kept low, allowing players to perform comfortably for hours.
CK is crafted from okume, a tonewood known for its lightweight properties and balanced midrange, paired with a solid spruce top that adds clarity and projection to the nylon strings. This combination gives the guitar a responsive character – warm yet articulate, ready for both fingerstyle detail and amplified performance.
The neck is made from roasted Canadian maple with a thin C neck profile that plays fast, while the laurel fingerboard was chosen for its smooth surface and tonal consistency, ensuring clear note separation.

Features to Boost Your Superpowers

Hybrid concept: electric meets classical in one body.

Wide or slim neck options: CK78 comes in two flavors. Classical (48.5 mm nut width) for players used to traditional spacing, and Modern (45 mm nut width) for faster play.

Active piezo pickup (HN78): delivers nylon tone with clarity through amp or headphones.

Silent practice ready: a built-in 3.5 mm jack lets you plug in headphones and play anytime.

Stage performance: 6.3 mm output for amp connection brings your nylon sound to the big stage.

Lightweight design: solid body strength without the heavy load.

Gold or black hardware options for extra style points.

CK78C vs CK78M: Two Heroes, One Team

Both guitars share the same DNA. The CK78 comes in two forms: Classical (CK78C), featuring a wider neck with a 48.5mm nut for players who rely on precision and space, and Modern (CK78M), with a slimmer neck with a 45mm nut width for those who want to move fast and strike hard, perfect for players crossing over from electric or steel-string guitars.

Meet the Every: A New Chapter in the Daily Series

One guitar. All day. Every day. Every day.

You play every day. Not just for the crowd, but for yourself. You need a reliable acoustic guitar that feels right in your hands, sounds good in every room, and doesn’t let you down. That’s why we created the HJD-2 Every acoustic guitar by Henry’s.

The Daily revisited

The Every is our second model in the Daily series of acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars. Think of it as a new chapter in the same book. We kept the trusted tonewoods and solid top construction but gave it a fresh new shape and finish . All players are unique, and their guitars should be too.

Spruce on top, mahogany on the back and sides, and a laurel fingerboard that feels just right under your fingers. The neck is smooth, fast, and easy to hold thanks to 43mm nut width, making it ideal for quick playing. Barre chords? No problem. Fingerpicking? Feels natural.

Same tonewoods, same DNA – but a whole new feel

Both guitars are built from the same high-quality materials: solid Sitka spruce tops, mahogany backs and sides, laurel fingerboards, and the same Fishman Presys II pickup. But here’s the twist.

While the Daily rocks a Grand Auditorium shape with a glossy finish, the Every is inspired by the iconic Round Shoulder shape with its wider body that gives you strong volume and balance . It has a satin finish that feels raw, real, and ready to play.

Which one’s for you?

Go for the Daily GAD1E if you want a brighter tone, a glossy feel, and a bit more space between the strings. It’s clean, clear, and fits players who like precise play and a bit of shine.

Pick the HJD-2 Every if you’re all about daily strumming, singing, and a guitar that feels warm, worn-in, and ready. The rounder body gives you more low-end, the matte finish keeps it comfortable, and the slimmer neck makes it a joy to move on.

Take Flight with BIRD II: Guitars to Kickstart Your Rockstar Journey

Built for comfort, style, and a sound that cuts deep, BIRD II is your perfect first step into the world of electric guitars. Read more to find out what makes these instruments a top-choice for beginners and what makes them different from their predecessors.

New Kids on the Block

BIRD is our loudest idea yet for younger shredders. Already available in Swan White, Cardinal Red, Parrot Green and Swallow Black, the series is now expanded by a new and improved batch BIRD II.

While the first batch of Bird used poplar, the new BIRD guitars switched to pawlonia, a significantly lighter wood. This makes the new models more comfortable, especially for younger or smaller players, without compromising resonance. It also comes with a Thin C neck, which is slimmer compared to previously used standard C-shaped neck, making it easier to play for beginners and players with smaller hands.In short, this next-gen trio of Strat-style electrics, CROW in black, DOVE in Olympic white, and ARA in blue is lighter, more ergonomic, built with more player-friendly materials, and offer a better out-of-the-box experience for beginners who want a real instrument that won’t hold them back.

Built to Be Your First Hit and Your Greatest Encore

Your first guitar should feel like an open road, not a roadblock. That’s why we created the BIRD series — real instruments designed to kickstart your musical journey and grow with you. Inspired by our pro-level Snake models, these guitars are lighter, smoother, and ready to fly from day one. The featherlight pawlonia body won’t weigh you down, the Thin C maple neck fits like a glove, and the Tech Ebony fingerboard makes every riff feel effortless. With a vintage-style tremolo to stretch your creativity and a build that begs to be played, BIRD gives you everything you need to find your voice, own your stage, and start sounding like the rockstar you're meant to become.

Spotlight on Crow, the Blackbird That Rocks

The Crow looks like it’s ready to headline. Dressed in black, it brings stage presence, studio chops, and serious attitude. The triple single coils give you vintage sparkle with modern punch, the lightweight body lets you move like nothing is holding you back. This is the kind of guitar that gets picked up just for five minutes and ends up stealing your whole afternoon.

PINK IS NOT DEAD: New Guitar Essentials from Henry’s Music

Statement color. Built to perform. And louder than ever.

Say hello to the new colourful additions to Henry’s Music line of guitar accessories: the Hero STR1 Guitar Strap, the Hello 9m Coiled Cable, and the Softone Pick 0.96 mm. Three new tools. One shared goal — to deliver reliability, attitude, and pro-level performance with zero drama.

STR1 Hero Guitar Strap

Soft where it matters, strong where it counts — the STR1 is the kind of strap that lets you play for hours without the shoulder burn. It fits everything from electrics to 12-strings and features durable materials, reinforced ends, and bold pink design. It's the first strap in our Standard Series to rock this signature colour, and according to our product specialist, it’s already earned its place in guitar kits everywhere. Add a pair of Henry’s StrapBlocks and you’ve got a strap that’s as secure as it is stylish.

.

Hello 9m Coiled Guitar Cable

No tangles, no tone loss — just crystal-clear sound and total freedom. The Hello cable is a stage-ready beast with a sleek coiled design, heavy-duty build, and gold-plated TS jacks (straight + angled) that keep your signal clean and your style tight. At 9 meters, it gives you space to move without the cable chaos. It’s a solid go-to for anyone who wants their gear to work with them, not against them.

.

Softone Pick 0.96 mm

The Softone 0.96 mm brings serious grip and a warm, articulate tone, especially on nylon strings. But don’t try to put it in a box! This pick shreds on acoustic and electric too, with a soft-touch finish that keeps control right where it belongs: in your hands.

.

These aren’t just accessories — they’re part of your sound. Your setup deserves tools that show up, stand out, and hold up. In a world where black colours are the norm, be different. So go ahead — plug in, strap up, and pick something that actually feels like you.

Introducing the Snake Series: A Venomous Blend of Vintage Soul and Modern Bite

Slithering straight out of Henry’s Music workshop, the Snake Series is our tribute to the eternal mojo of the Strat with a little bit of spice.

Inspired by classic Strats but made for today’s players, these electric guitars are loaded with modern firepower and dressed to kill in colors like Red Cobra, Blue Python, Black Mamba, Yellow Viper, or the scandalous Pink Boa. Whether you're ripping blues solos at midnight or grooving through psychedelic rock jams, this is the guitar that bites and sings.

The Backstory

The Snake Series is part of our larger Relic Series, a project created with love, experience, and a touch of rebellion. The goal? Make guitars that feel like they’ve lived on the road but play like they were made just for you.

Jaroslav Čížek

PRODUCT SPECIALIST

I’ve poured into these guitars everything I’ve learned from 25 years in the guitar world. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the biggest brands and top names in the industry, and all of that experience is now part of these instruments.

Key Features

The Snake Series is built for players who want more than just a beautiful instrument – they need a guitar that performs flawlessly and feels instantly familiar. The lightweight Phoenix wood body reduces fatigue during long rehearsals or live sets, while still delivering full, resonant tone. The thin C-shaped neck and jumbo stainless steel frets offer fast, precise playability, whether you're navigating complex solos or laying down tight rhythm parts. With its HSS pickup setup, the Snake covers a wide tonal spectrum: punchy, powerful leads from the HB-2 humbucker and sparkling cleans from the SC-1 single coils.

This is a guitar that solves real-world problems. You won’t waste time tuning between songs thanks to the locking tuners. The vintage-style tremolo gives you expressive control without compromising stability. And the hand-applied relic finish doesn’t just look stunning – it hides wear from the road, making it perfect for working musicians. And, let’s be honest – it looks freaking cool.

Bow Down to the Royal Couple – Introducing Monarch Series

Designed for players who demand both beauty and performance, the Monarch Series lets your music reign with clarity, depth, and unmistakable character. This regal duo of premium acoustic guitars crafted for players who demand both expressive tone and timeless elegance. This line was born from a desire to blend traditional craftsmanship with modern playability, delivering instruments that look majestic, feel luxurious, and sound unforgettable.

The Story Behind Monarch

The Monarch Series is the top-tier line of acoustic guitars from Henry’s Music. Each guitar is the result of our dedication to sound, aesthetics, and smooth playability. Using carefully selected solid tonewoods, high-end materials, and elegant design, the Monarch Series is made for players who want both performance and style.

Every Monarch guitar is built to offer the perfect balance of what guitarists care about most: feel, comfort, sound, and visual appeal. We spent years testing different guitar body shapes, tonewood combinations, and construction techniques from the world of acoustic guitars.

The result? A premium line of guitars that brings together the best of acoustic traditions – from the strong, deep sound of the American dreadnought in the shape of the D-24 Emperor to the clear, balanced tone of the OM-24 Empress.

Monarch Series Shared Features

Solid tonewoods: Both guitars are made of 100% solid woods – no laminates – to ensure richer tone, greater resonance, and aging that enhances your sound. The guitars simply get better with age (just like you!).

Scalloped X-bracing: Enhances sound projection and provides balance in tonal response.

Bone nut & saddle: Better string vibration transfer means better tone and sustain.

Ebony fingerboard: Durable, smooth, and visually striking.

Vintage-inspired details: Every detail reflects our dedication to craftsmanship, such as gold-coloured tuners, ornate rosette or pyramid headstock.

Natural gloss finish: UV-protected gloss that enhances resonance while showcasing the natural grain of premium woods.

Premium gig bag: Every Monarch guitar ships with a deluxe gig bag in Vintage Brown for safe transport and classy presentation.

The Empress: Grace with Every Note

The Monarch OM24 Empress is a refined acoustic that fits perfectly in the hands of fingerstylists, songwriters, and discerning players. The solid Sitka spruce top and rosewood back and sides delivers warmth, articulation, and beautiful sustain. With smooth ebony fingerboard and vintage gold hardware enhancing its classic appeal, the Empress is the kind of guitar that feels just as inspiring as it sounds.

The Empress features an OM body (abbreviation for Orchestra Model). This body style offers a more balanced and articulate tonal response. With a tighter waist and shallower depth than a dreadnought, the OM body delivers perfect midrange tones, sharp articulation and comfortable ergonomics for long playing sessions. Go for the Empress if you’re looking for warm, articulate sound in fingerpicking or strumming. quieter than dreadnought, best for folk, blues, and Americana.

The Emperor: Acoustic Power with Royal Presence

Command the stage with the Monarch D24 Emperor. This dreadnought acoustic is built for players who want volume, richness, and bold prominent bass sound. The Emperor delivers a warm, resonant voice that fills any room. A mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard offer buttery smooth playability, while the intricate rosette, vintage gold tuners, and natural finish lend a regal touch to its timeless design.

Opposed to the Empress, the Emperor comes in the Dreadnought shape. This type is ideal for guitarists looking for a powerful sound full of prominent bass tones. It is louder than OM and its resonant sound fills any room. The Dreadnought guitar shape is commonly associated with genres like country, bluegrass, folk, and rock. The Dreadnought’s ability to cut through a mix with its booming bass and articulate treble frequencies makes it ideal for driving the rhythm of a song or accompanying vocals.
