In the early 60's Harmony guitars made the Stratotone H45. A smaller body (for the era) solid body guitar that was the go to for the coolest of the cool. Later Harmony was bought by Silverstone and the style continued to define the era. We designed our Rye from this ageless style and made it our own, the outlaw, The Rye
The body of the guitar is slightly larger and bolder than the H45. The black on black is inspired by the Harley Davidson Night Train deep black with a little chrome. With our 3x3 head and single white binding it gives the guitar the vintage Bootlegger look. With black hardware It is a minimalist look, dark and bold.
All Korean hardware. Grover tuners and hot humbuckers. This guitar rocks, plays the blues, and belongs live on a roadhouse stage near you.
