HILS Headless on the cheap. Seems too good to be true

HEADLESS GUITARS — THE INSTRUMENTS — HILS America

hilsamerica.com

"Mahogany". "Rosewood". "Stainless steel". Seems like they're too good to be true, for $500 Freedom bucks or 400 of the Queen's currency. But given that there are a lot of reasonable stuff out these days, maybe they're serviceable?

I kinda want a headless for "bring everywhere" kinda deal. But I don't want to spend a ton of dough on one at this point. Anderton's carries them now (which is where I saw them first), but I don't know if that's an indicator of good or not.

Low bar is low.

Wow, never heard of this brand!

The orange is screaming, "Buy me now, bitch!".

That’s the one that drew my attention and yes, called me a bitch.

So they're made by Hex Guitars in Indonesia, and here's the link to that company's headless.

Shipped to Indiana and then QC'd. Could be worth the risk!

They have feet!

Neat!

Close enough I could drive there and bitch slap someone if needed.

Only thing I'm not sure I like is the output jack, kind of a weird place and I'm thinking it would get in the way. I play classical style with guitar on left leg and that output jack is going to be right in my right thigh.

Plus I started using UHF wireless thingies a week ago, and the one I got isn't the flexible type, sticks straight out (TWSS).

Guess I could ask them the measurement from the jack to the bottom.

Cool idea having the little bit of headstock near the nut. Probably allows it to work with regular hangers.

Oh, fuhk. I had to add to Reverb Favorites, and they just had to give me an offer that REALLY is going to be tough to ignore.

I sold 3 guitars and that mandolin in the last month, and am back down to 12. Hmmmm
