HEX Guitars is a Korea-based brand specializing in products in the entry- to mid-range price range.
They have their own factory in Indonesia where they manufacture their products themselves, which sets them apart from typical OEM brands.
They don't leave it to other companies' factories, and their boss himself is so passionate about his work that he is on-site himself, which is why they are able to produce guitars of a quality unimaginable given the price.
This is their newly launched headless-style series.
The N600 is a high-end model featuring high specs such as a custom tremolo bridge, FISHMAN pickups, and a roasted maple x walnut laminate neck.
The sophisticated body shape is made of mahogany.
Two rubber feet are attached to the end of the body, allowing you to prop the guitar up stably even without a guitar stand.
The neck features a 5-ply laminate design in roasted maple and walnut.
Roasted wood, also known as Thermowood, is a new material popularized by Japan's Sago New Material Guitars.
It was originally developed as a Finnish technology for building saunas.
Treating the wood at high temperatures evaporates the moisture and oils inside, resulting in high stability even in hot and humid environments.
The sound is often perceived as more refined and rich.
By bonding several pieces of wood together to form the neck, the difference between the left and right sides is reduced, resulting in high stability and durability.
The fingerboard is made of Indian rosewood and has a compound radius of 12-16 inches.
The compound radius is rounded in the lower positions and flatter in the higher positions.
Generally, a rounded fingerboard radius provides good playability, but is prone to choking in the higher positions.
The compound radius solves this problem.
This technology is used by high-end brands such as Suhr Guitars and Tom Anderson.
The frets are made of stainless steel.
Stainless steel is characterized by its anti-tarnish nature and high hardness.
Stainless steel frets maintain their shine and are extremely resistant to wear, making them popular with high-end guitar brands in recent years.
The neck shape is slim, with a simple C-shape.
The pickups are two FISHMAN Fluence Modern Humbuckers.
This pickup is a very expensive item, selling for over 40,000 yen each.
Its special coil-less design minimizes coil-related noise and the possibility of electrical problems.
As a result, it produces incredibly low noise, on par with or even superior to EMG pickups.
The sound is characterized by surprisingly fast response, moderate compression, and a rich low end.
It has a thick sound from the low to high frets, with a fresh overtone that is somewhat unusual for an active pickup.
This pickup also has a function to switch between voice characters called VOICE 1 and VOICE 2.
Pulling up the volume knob to access VOICE 2 changes the sound to something clearer and more treble-heavy at the neck end, and a slightly warmer, more mid-range-heavy sound at the bridge end.
Pulling up the tone knob also enables coil tapping, allowing you to create sounds more like a Stratocaster or Telecaster.
This pickup is perfect for guitarists who require lower noise than EMGs but the response of a passive pickup, and who require flexible sound creation.
The balance in the hand is very good, and even those who normally play Fender or Gibson pickups will find the HEX N easy to play.
No special strings are required for headless pickups; the same strings as those used on regular guitars (Stratocaster or Les Paul) can be used.
The sound is clear, as you'd expect from a headless pickup, but without sacrificing musical overtones or rich bass.
The basic quality around the neck is extremely high, making it easy to play, and it's hard to argue that it's inferior to instruments costing around 200,000 yen.
Overall, it's a fantastic product with high quality looks, playability, and sound.
It's certainly a good first guitar, and a great choice for anyone who wants to try out a headless guitar.
All HEX Guitars products sold by GIB are inspected, modified, and adjusted by GIB after being imported into Japan.
We offer undeniable quality, so please give them a try.
