Description & Condition
HEX Guitars is a Korea-based brand specializing in products in the entry- to mid-range price range.
The company has its own factory in Indonesia, where the president himself lives there to ensure a high level of quality control.
The president himself is so passionate about his work that he doesn't leave it to other factories and is personally involved in the production process, resulting in guitars of a level of quality that is hard to imagine given the price.
The NB505 is a modern bass with impressive specs, including fanned frets and an active circuit.
This particular guitar has been extensively modified.
The sophisticated body shape is made of mahogany.
The pickguard has been replaced from white to black pearl.
The neck features a maple and walnut laminate design, and the fingerboard is walnut.
By bonding several pieces of wood together to form the neck, the difference in tone between the left and right sides is reduced, resulting in high stability and durability.
The neck shape is a relatively thin, slim C-shape.
The frets are made of stainless steel.
The stainless steel is characterized by its impeccable hardness and lack of tarnish.
The pickups have been replaced with Nordstrand single coils (bs5-40). The preamp has been replaced with a HUMPBACK ENGINEERING 2X2.
The headless design may be off-putting, but when you actually play it, you'll find that the body balance feels natural even when switching from a traditional style.
Overall, this is a high-quality guitar.
We highly recommend that you try playing it for yourself.
Approximately 90% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paint have some minor scratches, but are generally clean.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The pickups have been replaced with Nordstrand single coils (bs5-40). The pickguard has been replaced. The preamp has been replaced with a HUMPBACK ENGINEERING 2X2.
