HEX Guitars is a Korea-based brand that specializes in products in the entry to middle class price range.
They have their own factory in Indonesia and do their own manufacturing. This is what differentiates HEX Guitars from other brands that generally manufacture their products on an OEM basis.
Because they are so passionate about their products that they do not leave them to other companies' factories, but rather have the bosses themselves go into the field, they are able to manufacture guitars of such high quality that it is hard to imagine from the price.
This is a newly started headless style series.
The N500P is equipped with a flexible custom tremolo bridge.
The sophisticated body shape is made of Mahogany.
Two rubber feet are attached to the body end, allowing the guitar to stand stably without a guitar stand.
Roasted maple is used for the neck.
Roasted wood, or Thermo wood, is a new material popularized by Sago new material guitars in Japan.
It was originally developed using Finnish technology as a wood for making saunas.
Treating it at high temperatures volatilizes the water and oil inside the wood, making it highly stable even at high temperatures and humidity.
The sound has an impression of a richer, more mature sound.
The fingerboard is made of Roasted Maple, and the fingerboard R is finished with a compound radius of 12-16 inches.
Compound radius has a fingerboard shape that is round in the low position and flat in the high position.
Generally speaking, a round fretboard R is good for playability but prone to sound clogging in the high position.
The compound radius solves this problem.
This technology is used by high brands such as Suhr Guitars and Tom Anderson.
The material of the frets is stainless steel.
Stainless steel is cloudless and has high hardness.
Stainless steel frets continue to shine forever and are extremely hard to wear, which has made them popular among high-priced guitar brands in recent years.
The neck shape is slim and non-habitual C shape.
The PU is an original humbucking type.
They use original PUs in many of their models.
This is not because they want to cut costs, but because they are confident in the quality of the PUs they design.
The staff members who know music and play music on a daily basis have thoroughly researched and designed the magnets, wires, bobbins, and many other elements.
Controls are PU selector, volume, and tone (push-pull SW for coil tap on/off).
The balance in the hand is very good, and those who usually play Fender or Gibson will not find the HEX N difficult to play.
The sound is clean and headless, yet it does not lose the musical overtones and fullness of the bass.
The basic quality of the neck area is very high, making the instrument highly playable, and it would be difficult to assert that it is inferior to instruments priced around 200,000 yen.
Overall, it is a great product with high quality in looks, playability, and sound.
It is not a bad choice for those who want to try a headless guitar once, or even as a first guitar.
All HEX Guitars products sold by GIB are inspected, corrected, and adjusted before they are imported to Japan.
