【new】HEX Guitars / N400 RR

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

They own their own factory in Indonesia, where the CEO himself resides to maintain a high level of quality control.

This dedication—the CEO personally involved in the production process rather than outsourcing—is what allows them to manufacture guitars of a quality far exceeding what one might expect from their price point.

This is a newly launched headless style series.

The N400 is the simplest model, featuring a hardtail bridge.

The refined body shape is crafted from mahogany.

Two rubber feet are attached to the body end, allowing the guitar to be stably propped up without a guitar stand.

The neck is made of roasted maple.

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

Originally developed in Finland as wood for building saunas, it utilizes Finnish technology.

The high-temperature treatment evaporates moisture and oil from within the wood, resulting in high stability even in hot and humid conditions.

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

The fretboard is made of Indian rosewood, and the fretboard radius is finished with a 12-16 inch compound radius.

A compound radius has a rounded shape in the lower positions and a flatter shape in the higher positions.

Generally, while a rounded fretboard radius is good for playability, it is said to be prone to fret buzz 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 fret material is stainless steel.

Stainless steel is characterized by its lack of tarnishing and high hardness.

Stainless steel frets retain their shine indefinitely and are extremely resistant to wear, making them popular among high-end guitar brands in recent years.

The neck shape is slim and a comfortable C-shape.

The pickups are humbucking pickups using original ceramic magnets.

This was updated in 2025, and a more refined pickup was newly adopted.

They use original pickups in many models.

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

The staff, who know music and play music on a daily basis, thoroughly research many elements such as magnets, wires, and bobbins to design them.

The controls are a pickup selector, volume, and tone (coil tap on/off with a push-pull switch).

The balance when held is very good, and even those who usually play Fender or Gibson guitars will likely not find the HEX N difficult to play.

No special headless strings are required; the same strings as on a regular guitar (Stratocaster or Les Paul) can be used.

It has a clean sound typical of a headless guitar, but without sacrificing musical harmonics or rich bass.

The high quality of the neck construction makes it very playable, and it's difficult to say that it's inferior to instruments in the 200,000 yen price range.

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

It's a great choice for those who want to try a headless guitar, and I think it's also a good choice for a first guitar.
