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 don't leave them to other companies' factories but enter the field themselves, they are able to manufacture guitars of such high quality that you would never guess from the price.
This is a 7-string headless model of the Z series with more advanced specs.
It has modern specs such as a 25.5-26.5" multi-scale, custom active humbuckers, and a Roasted Maple neck.
The sophisticated body shape is made of Indian 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 high humidity.
In terms of sound, it gives the impression of a richer, more mature sound.
The fingerboard is made of Indian Rosewood.
The radius is 12".
The frets are made of stainless steel.
Stainless steel is characterized by its high hardness and lack of cloudiness.
Stainless steel frets continue to shine forever and are extremely hard to wear out, which has made it popular among high-priced guitar brands in recent years.
The neck shape is a slim, non-habitual C shape.
The bridge is a hardtail.
The PU is the original Custom Active Ceramic Rail Humbucker.
They use the original PU in many 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 many elements such as magnets, wires, bobbins, and so on.
This is an active type, so it is very low noise, clear, and provides a large gain (the amount of gain can be adjusted from the back panel). (The amount of gain can be adjusted from the back panel.)
It is also worth mentioning that the sound is never too cold, but rather creates a sound that contains plenty of musical overtones.
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 normally play Fender or Gibson will not find it difficult to play this guitar.
The sound is clean and clear, as is typical of headless guitars, but without losing the musical overtones and fullness of the bass.
The basic quality of the neck area is very high, making it 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 at least once, or even as a first guitar.
