Guitar.
Designed With Purpose.
Rather than starting with a list of features, the Constance Guitar began with a series of practical questions that emerged from years of playing:
How can upper fret access be improved? Why should a guitar require more material than necessary while carrying additional weight at the furthest point from the player? How can a modern guitar look timeless?
The answer is an instrument designed to feel cohesive, comfortable and inspiring from the first note.
Henrix Guitars Headpiece
Manufactured from aircraft-grade aluminum – ultra light, durable and precise.
My signature design stands out through its clean, distinctive lines. The integrated polygon not only reflects on Henrix Guitars visual identity, but also reveals the instrument’s string count.
Luminlay Side Dots & Stainless Steel Frets
The luminlay side dots ensure perfect visibility, even in the darkest venues. Just a quick charge under light and your markers glow in the dark, guiding your fretting hand with confidence.
The stainless steel frets offer unmatched durability and a smooth playing surface. They resist wear, deliver clear articulation and make every bend feel effortless.
Neck Construction
The extended neck heel increases the contact area between neck and body, to maximize resonance, sustain and tonal clarity.
At the same time, it provides unrestricted access to all 24 frets, giving players total freedom across the entire fretboard.
Holighaus HDS Custom Pickups
The Holighaus HDS Custom pickups were selected for their ability to combine high output with clarity and articulation.
Designed for modern players, they deliver a tight low end, strong note definition and excellent dynamic response.
Whether playing complex chords, technical passages or hi-gain riffs, every note remains focused and articulate.
Riviera Tuning Machines
With their precise gear ratio and silk-smooth operation, the Riviera hardware makes tuning effortless and highly accurate.
Engineered for maximum stability, these machines hold your pitch even under the toughest playing conditions – whether practicing at home, recording in the studio or performing live.
A Clear Musical Identity.
The Constance Guitar is not designed as platform with endless options. Instead, it is built around a carefully developed concept that has been refined through experience, testing and continuous improvement.
Rather than offering countless options, a small number of proven configurations are available to suit different playing styles and tonal preferences.
Holighaus HDS Custom.
The standard pickup set for the Constance Guitar are the Holighaus HDS Custom pickups that were selected for their ability to deliver a tight low-end response, excellent note separation and the clarity required for modern high gain sounds or when playing in lower tunings, while remaining expressive and dynamic for more nuanced styles.
Nova Pickups Omnia.
The Omnia is one of the few options to choose from, it comes in two voicings, the Flux and the Apex. These guitar pickups are designed with four coils and rails and are made for maximum clarity, transparency, versatility and balance. Its advanced technology delivers hum cancelling in any wiring without compromising tone and less of a volume drop when split than conventional pickups.
Perfect for all tunings and tone shaping options.
Nova Omnia Flux.
The Flux variant delivers the whole dynamic range and a highly detailed frequency response for anything from clean tones, edge-of-breakup goodness and crunch, and with a little push also non-muddy high gain tone.
Nova Omnia Apex.
The Apex variant is made for full-on chugs and soaring leads – these are aimed towards the knuckle draggers among us.
The goal is to provide a responsive and reliable foundation that allows the player’s own musical voice to come through.
Wood Stock.
Every Henrix instrument begins long before the first cut is made. It starts with a careful selection of wood.
Even when two instruments share identical specifications, no two pieces of wood are ever truly the same. The natural variation in grain structure and figuring ensures that every instrument develops its own character.
This is no inconsistency. This is authenticity.
Modern Solutions. Timeless Design.
The goal was never to reinvent the guitar. The goal was to rethink specific design choices.
Every aspect of a Henrix instrument exists for a reason. Explore the ideas and experiences that shaped the philosophy and design decisions.
Available Adjustments.
While every Constance Guitar is built around a carefully defined concept, selected adjustments are available to better suit individual preferences and playing styles.

Yes. Players can choose between curved or offset fretboard inlays, depending on their visual preference. For those who prefer an even cleaner aesthetic, the fretboard can also be built without inlays.
Curved Inlays.
Offset Inlays.
Selected custom inlays may be available upon request. To maintain the overall design language of the instrument, custom inlays are evaluated on an individual basis.
Yes. Available top woods can be viewed and selected in the wood stock.
Yes. The top woods can be applied to the front and back of the instrument. This option creates a more cohesive appearance and highlights the natural beauty of the chosen wood combination from every angle.
Electronics.
Yes. The Constance Guitar is available with carefully selected pickup options to suit different tonal preferences. The Holighaus HDS Custom is the standard configuration, while the Nova Omnia is the available option. The Omnia comes in two distinctive voicings, the Flux and the Apex.
While the overall concept of the instrument remains unchanged, different pickup options allow players to tailor the response and character of the guitar to their individual preferences.
The electronics layout of the Constance has been intentionally kept simple and intuitive. A master volume, three-way pickup selector switch and master tone control provide quick access to a wide range of sounds, while the push-push coil split on the neck pickup adds additional versatility when needed.
