Quick Snapshot
Why You'll Love It
Everything that makes the AU01 different from a standard electric guitar lives inside the body itself - no pedalboard, no amp required to get a usable tone.
Four Amps, Zero Pedalboard
A built-in DSP chip runs four onboard tones - Clean, Overdrive, Distortion, and High-Gain Lead - switchable straight from the guitar's power knob. Plug into anything with a 6.35mm input and you already have a usable amp tone.
Practice Silently, Anywhere
Plug headphones into the 3.5mm jack and practice at any hour without waking the house. Pair over Bluetooth with the Enya Music app for a tuner, metronome, backing tracks, and fine-tuning of all four presets.
Built for Indian Weather
A one-piece carbon fiber composite body doesn't warp, crack, or go out of tune the way wood-bodied electrics can when humidity and heat swing hard across the year.
Strydom x Enya
Strydom has built its name in India on straightforward, reliable electric guitars for players who want real tone without a premium price tag. For the AU01, Strydom partnered with Enya - the Chinese smart-instrument company that pioneered pairing carbon fiber guitar bodies with onboard DSP chips and app control - to bring that same smart-guitar platform to India under the Strydom name for the first time. Founded in 2011 in Huizhou, Guangdong, Enya built its smart-guitar technology into a lineup now sold in 40+ countries, backed by 70+ patents across carbon fiber construction, chip algorithms, and app-based interaction. The AU01 carries that same engineering into a new colorway lineup made for Indian players.
Engineered With Purpose
Onboard DSP, Not a Pedal Substitute
The Enya E-SP1 chip sits inside the guitar body and drives all four presets on its own - Clean, Overdrive, Distortion, and High-Gain Lead - so you get a real amp tone the moment you plug in, with or without your phone nearby.
One-Piece Carbon Fiber Body
An integrated die-cast, one-piece carbon fiber composite body keeps the AU01 at roughly 3.3kg while resisting the warping and cracking that humidity and heat cause in traditional wood-bodied electrics.
5-Way HSS Pickup Switching
A custom ceramic humbucker at the bridge and ceramic single coils at neck and middle, run through a 5-way blade switch, cover everything from glassy cleans to high-output lead tones.
The Enya App Ecosystem
Connect over Bluetooth to the Enya Music app to fine-tune all four presets, use the built-in tuner and metronome, play along to backing tracks, and record straight from the guitar via USB-C OTG.
