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

Warmart said:
I've had Moderns in two guitars, still have in my other headless. From what I know, I doubt you would like them for long, but they are better than the stock passives.

Since you have seen the cavity......and it's sparce in there, is there room for a neat active install?


Just looked again at the ad, they are saying new ....but they aren't....and 200usd.......maybe I'll wait a couple weeks and offer 140.🤔

You could definitely get a battery in there, can always find batteries like those used in the 24v Mod - if you had to. But I'd bet 95% of guitars have room for it.

I was on a semi "active kick" over the past year or so, but I just can't stand 'em anymore.

Have two left, PRS 594 and the Legator headless. Both are on the list (along with the HILS) for pickup upgrades!

That tells me all I need to know. I have a single sh6 on a Xmas list ....so I'm gonna go with that and deal until then. Maybe I'll get the flashy ones another time....😔

It's better this way. Thanks for the knowledge though!!🤘
 
Slightly off topic but how are you guys comparing pickups? Do you some recording with each or just have really good "tone memory"?

At this point, I think @Warmart and myself understand what each are looking for ...and believe it or not, I believe we have very similar tastes. I trust his opinion and experience.

I like the sh6 because it is pretty much all I have played when I have upgraded pickups....and most understand what those are....and you can build from there...hope this answers your question.
