Patina Guitars (not really Europe, more like China...)

Henry's appears to be a Czech company:

"Our headquarters in Prague and central warehouse in Louny serve as the heart of our operations, where every product is crafted with care."

So not Chinese, i think?

The thought company is Czech, but the guitars are made in China.
 
Yep, just wanted to write this: "Apparently they are manufactured in China like these two other brands of the same parent company, according to Google AI:"

In YOUR case, I would recommend buying one of these guitars. Similar features, similar price.

I played Henry's on a few occasions in two different stores in Prague. Had a chance to compare them to Yamaha, Ibanez, PRS SE line, Strandberg, HILS, Peavey, JET, some other brands in <$1500 price range. They are a cut above. Sound-wise, a random $700 Henry strat beat the shit out of PRS SE Silver Sky. PRS sounded like a toy in comparison.
If you are into headless, HILS over Strandberg; if the usual, then Henry is a VERY solid choice. I found nothing to be upset about when playing those. Even if they are from Asia, their QC is fantastic. I'm still sad I didn't buy one when I had a chance.
 
I've only heard good things about Henry's guitars. If I had to criticize anything, then that the company makes it look like the guitars are made in Czechia. But all the reviews and various online shops mention China.
I noticed that the specs (Paulownia, stainless steel frets, fretboard radius, etc.) are very similar to those of the company mentioned in the subject line, so I suspect the same factory is behind them.

I'm pretty sure one of the guys in the shop mentioned to me that those are manufactured locally. But online I found no proof of it. I think if this was true that'd proudly mentioned it somewhere.
 
Maybe I'm wrong, but this German YouTuber tests many models and mentions China in almost every video:

Then there is this German test report

And at Muziker (Czech online shop), China is also mentioned as the country of origin in the specifications:

But who knows, maybe that was the case originally and production has been relocated.
 
I quoted their site above:

"Our headquarters in Prague and central warehouse in Louny serve as the heart of our operations, where every product is crafted with care." (emphasis mine)

If they're not actually made there, sorry, "crafted", that's pretty deceptive.

Also according to their website, they’re “designed and engineered in Europe.” That suggests that they're manufactured elsewhere.

According to Interactive Guitar Magazine, they’re “a sister brand to JET and Spira, developed by the same European team behind both lines.”

Henrys Guitars are made in China. They do a little setup in Czech before shipping out (like a normal shop would), thats about it.
