Add to Compare2010 Henderson OM Mahogany/Appalachian
Wayne Henderson and his guitars need little introduction these days. Having built for an army of the best players in the world, both in the southeast where we live and for big names like Eric Clapton, his guitars are now legendary. But why? Tone, that’s why. No maker reaches the highest levels without killer tone. His guitars are an inspiration to play, and limitless in there ability to express musical ideas regardless of genre.
This fine Henderson OM has a super punchy sound, and thick trebles. It has wonderful dynamic range and stands up to hard strumming, all the while retaining the well defined tonal complexity that separates it form the rest of the herd. The neck is extremely comfortable, and makes difficult fingerstyle or single note passages a breeze to play. This is an extraordinary guitar that can deliver anything you ask of it.

Add to CompareNew Henderson D-18 Mahogany/Appalachian
In this D-18 guitar, Wayne Henderson paired a stunning mahogany set with an Appalachian Red Spruce top… and out came a CANON! You’ve got to hear the clarity and power on this one — a huge fundamental, perfect balance, punch to spare… this is a flatpicker’s or strummer’s dream. But put the pick down and she’s also extremely warm and responsive for fingerstyle. It has a slim and fast neck that will appeal to those with fast fingers. Another winner from Rugsby, VA.

In this guitar, Wayne Henderson paired a stunning mahogany set with an Adirondack Red Spruce top… and out came a CANON!

Add to Compare2003 Wayne Henderson HD18 Mahogany/Adirondack
We’re thinking that Mr. Clapton was definitely onto something with his recent endorsement of Henderson guitars. This beautiful and responsive Dread offers crystalline highs, gutsy but articulate mids, and a powerful bass that’s strong on the fundamental. The surprisingly light weight of this instrument belies its robust and authoritative tone. It’s responds in kind when played lightly with the fingers. When played hard it’s offers up all the power you could want without a hint of muddiness or ambivalence. What a treat it’s been to spend a little time with this one. What a privilege it would be to hear her open up over time.

Add to CompareWayne Henderson 000 12 fret (OM Scale) Rosewood/Appalachian One-Owner! Rare!
We just acquired this amazing Wayne Henderson guitar from it’s original owner who begrudgingly is moving on. This is a WIDE OPEN, VERY LIVELY, guitar that just about jumps off your lap. This is the kind of sound that Eric Clapton just had to have as discussed in the book ‘Clapton’s Guitar: Watching Wayne Henderson Build the Perfect Instrument’. Indian Rosewood and Appalachian Spruce combine for a serious prewar tone. This one has wear, but that’s part of why it sounds so good and the feel is amazing

Add to Compare2002 Henderson F-5 Mandolin, Flamed Maple/Spruce
From the famed workbench of Wayne Henderson, we have another Henderson F5 Mandolin here to prove what an F-style mando is supposed to sound like! This 2002 F5 has a gorgeous sunburst finish, Grained Ivoroid trim, and custom-made brass tailpiece with a hinged cover engraced with Wayne’s own moniker. Lloyd Loar would be proud to call this mandolin a descendant of his own creations–quick response, stellar string-to-string separation, and impressive projection.
Weighing in at 2lbs on the nose, this Henderson F5 is a Maple-and-Spruce featherweight in the hands, but offers some meaty sustain, especially with the crystalline treble strings. Lots of chop for a Bluegrass session, but clarity and articulation enough for Jazz and experimental flavors, too. There are only ever a few of Wayne’s mandolins available on the market: jump before this one disappears!
