Healy Healer Charcoal Frost Metallic

The future of the offset electric guitar is alive and well in the Healy Healer model.

One of our most favorite offset electric guitars in history continues to impress us with every batch we get here at TME. It's a testament to Trevor & Co.'s unwavering dedication to building a reliable, consistent, and inspiring guitar that has a distinct personality.

Healers seem to be so adaptive to different configurations without every losing their identity. That's hard to do in the seemingly endless landscape of electric guitar design, yet it feels effortlessly woven into every Healy build. Trevor would argue the effort part, surely, but that's why these guitars are just so darn great.

Chambered Korina and beautiful Flamed Roasted Maple make up the body and neck, respectively, with a set of Fralin hum-canceling P90s and a Rutters chopped t-style bridge rounding out the hardware and electronics. The bolt-on neck and long scale might start pulling you into a Jazzmaster headspace, but the Healer somehow seems more relaxed and forgiving in the best of ways. It's got a snappy response, but there's a warmth and woodiness to its acoustic voice that makes it quite unique, too. The Healer's comfortable C neck profile feels very familiar at this point, which highlights a level of consistency and intention on his part to establish an identity when it comes to the playability of these guitars. The moderate taper and rounded shoulders give the player the feeling of a neck more substantial than a set of calipers might tell you, yet it plays so smoothly. Trevor's using a very nice monocoat satin finish on the neck with black stain to give it a little bit more of the old catalogue guitar look found on Supros and Silvertones. Still, he's allowing that gorgeous figured Maple show through.

It's one of those instances (well, more than one at this point) where the guitar is just so dialed in that you start to forget about technical specs and focus on playing. We could all benefit from that mentality!

We couldn't be happier to represent such amazing instruments crafted in our home state by a passionate and talented team. They just keep getting better!
