【used】HEX Guitars / B365 Tranceparent Brown Burst 4.335kg #HJ0701076【GIB Yokohama】

HEX Guitars is a South Korea-based brand specializing in entry-level to mid-range guitars.

They own their own factory in Indonesia and manufacture their guitars themselves.

This sets them apart from brands that typically use OEM manufacturing.

Their passion is evident in the fact that the boss himself is involved in the production process, resulting in guitars of a surprisingly high quality for their price point.

The B series features models that blend classic character with modern specifications.

This B365 is a modern 5-string JB model.

The body back is made of Indonesian Mahogany, and the top is Burl Maple.

Indonesian Mahogany is highly valued these days for its weight and tone, which are well-suited to musical instruments.

The Burl Maple top is very beautiful, and the see-through finish that accentuates it creates an elegant atmosphere.

The neck is made of Roasted Maple.

Roasted wood, also known as Thermo wood, is a new material popularized by Sago New Material Guitars in Japan.

Originally developed in Finland as wood for building saunas, it features high stability even in high-temperature and high-humidity environments due to the high-temperature treatment process that evaporates moisture and oils from within the wood.

In terms of sound, it gives the impression of a more refined and rich tone.

Furthermore, two carbon fiber rods are embedded in the neck to enhance its strength.

The fretboard is made of Indian Rosewood with a relatively flat 16" radius.
The neck has a thin C-shape profile.

The scale length is 35".

This guitar is characterized by a stronger fundamental tone compared to a 34" scale, a design that aligns with a modern concept.

The pickups are original single-coils.

They use original pickups in many of their models.

This isn't for cost-cutting, but because they have confidence in the quality of their self-designed pickups.

The staff, who understand music and play it regularly, thoroughly research many elements such as magnets, wires, and bobbins before designing them.

What you'll notice when you hold it is its high playability.

It's very easy to play and stress-free.

The sound has strong pitch definition, and the clear articulation even in the lower register is reassuring.

I think it's very useful in gospel, R&B, and aggressive rock ensembles.

The high quality of the basic neck components contributes to its excellent playability, and it's difficult to say that it's inferior to more expensive instruments.

Overall, it's a wonderful product with high quality in looks, playability, and sound.

The frets have approximately 80% remaining. Approximately.
