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.

“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,”

- Jaroslav Čížek, product specialist

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.

Tame the Snake

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.

Our Instruments in action: Dave Gates in O2 Aréna, Prague

You can hear Henry's guitars both on studio recordings and on big stages. Precise processing, materials, ergonomic shapes, balance between classic and modern approach and design, directly encourage you to jump on stage or compose in the studio. Join the sound of Henry's.

Dave Gates

Guitarist Dawe Gates, who worked in pop singer Annabelle's band, was the first musician to try Henry's Relic series guitars on the big stage. Dawe is a modern guitarist who, with his dynamic expressive playing, mixing of guitar techniques, expressive movement on stage and, last but not least, a well-thought-out image, needs an instrument that meets a number of specifications.

For his expression, he chose the Black Mamba model from the Snake series, which meets all the requirements that Dawe needs. Great sound, light weight and design. Dawe is a very active musician who plays a lot of concerts, but the biggest test of Henry's guitar was the concert in Prague's O2 Arena.
