Very nice looking guitar I must say. Playability is very good, fretwork seems good, nice dark rosewood. I would rather not have the relic look but the specs was otherwise what I was looking for, so I went for it anyways. I was hoping that I didn't have to do anything to the guitar, but I'm a bit disappointed about the quality of the components. The trem block seems very cheap and I don't think it's metal (looks like plastic to me). The 5-way switch is the cheap PCB-kind, small dime sized pots, ceramic pickups (which doens't necessarily means bad, but as the other parts are meh quality, I guess these are too). Summary: The guitar seems well made, plays very well and looks great, which is important as this can be difficult to fix. The quality of the parts seems cheap but is somewhat easy to fix. At this price I was hoping I didn't have to change a thing though, as I've seen cheaper guitars with better quality parts. All in all I'm satisfied and will keep it.
I played this one at the Guitar Summit in Mannheim. I played it with several other Henry's. I actually was looking for a "non-relic" strat. This guitar is one of the best I have played. The playabilty is as it should be but man.... the sound..... just superb. Is there something to complain about? There was no armsleeve delivered ha ha ha. But to be honest, I think I would never use it. In the end I took the relic for granted as it doesn't influence the sound or playability. Also nice to have net the guys from Henry's at the GS. Keep the good work up.
