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 for production, with the boss himself involved in the process, allows them to produce guitars of a surprisingly high quality for their price point.
The H300 is an ambitious model that combines a traditional LP style with modern specifications.
The body back is made of Indonesian Mahogany.
Indonesian Mahogany is highly valued in recent years for its weight and tone, which are well-suited to musical instruments.
The stable supply of such high-quality wood in Indonesia makes it one of the most logical locations for high-quality instrument manufacturing.
The neck is made of Roasted Maple.
It features a Set-Thru joint, providing smooth access to the higher positions and rich sustain.
The fingerboard is made of Rosewood.
In addition to a compound radius fingerboard, where the radius gradually decreases from the lower to higher positions, it features stainless steel frets that offer excellent stain and wear resistance, allowing for smooth string bending.
Combined with a slim C-shaped neck, it boasts a level of playability that belies its traditional appearance.
The pickups are humbuckers with different characteristics for each position: a sweet and warm Hex Alnico 2 in the neck position and a punchy Hex Alnico 5 in the bridge position.
With simple 2-volume and 2-tone controls, a wide range of sounds can be shaped, from mellow clean tones to powerful, driven sounds.
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.
Their staff, who understand music and play it regularly, thoroughly research and design many elements such as magnets, wires, and bobbins.
The tuning machines feature locking tuners that enhance tuning stability and facilitate string changes, demonstrating a thoughtful design from a player's perspective.
This is a superb product that boasts looks, playability, and sound that rival even more expensive instruments.
