Every RH Custom Guitar is designed and built in Southern California by Rick Harrison.
Moreover, Rick is an accomplished guitarist and a perfectionist that takes great pride in providing his customers with outstanding guitars.
Lastly, his guitars are far beyond the normal “custom-built” guitar, and based on their testimonials, those that play these fine instruments agree.
Ricky Harrison is an eclectic guitar luthier and founder of RH Custom Guitars in Southern California.
His love and respect for the guitar goes back to his childhood and a Sears Silver Tone with an amplifier built right in the case.
He formed a band with his friends in 1968 called The Persuasions, which toured around the East Coast.
By then, Ricky was a devoted Gretsch player and, after the band broke up, could be found at coffee houses backing up singers.
He later formed a trio called Absent Minds, a nod to getting older!
His day job was carpentry, so the craft came easy when he had the idea to build his guitars.
With an art background as well, Ricky enjoyed the process of creating an instrument other people would use to express themselves by making music.
He has often said that a big part of the reward for him is seeing the looks on the faces of his customers when they play their unique guitar!
To summarize, RH Custom Guitars are designed to provide the guitarist with a multitude of sounds that can be achieved with only the knobs and bar on the guitar.
Therefore, no pedals are needed. Watch this happen when the RH Custom Barnyard Boy is played.
