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

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

Without watching, and considering value for money..... Ibanez.

That wasn't their take-away. Value for money Rabea said HILS, then Strandberg for THE headless guitar.

Color me surprised. I love strandberg ...can't afford ..so this is actually good news!!!!

But it isn't a true comparison. Considering the prices and all.
But it's cool. I like bea.
Guess I will have to check it out later ...very interested, if the pickups are tolerable as is, I may just have to reverb this thing and get in on the fun......have to get in touch with a squirrel... about some nuts I hid.
Those Ibanez headless are underrated though.

Just got a message from HILS, they mistakenly sent me 2 guitars, lmao.

Can keep the 2nd one for a reduced price or they will send me a return label.

Any one want the 2nd, hit me up. @Stone , please pickup the orange courtesy phone.

Although, possession is 9/10ths and all

This is me knowing I cant get that money together in time....to take advantage of this deal.

What’s the reduced price?!

What’s the reduced price?!

$300.

$300.

I wonder if they’ll let you wait until you get it to let them know. I’d trust a forum bro to tell me if it’s a pig.

Usually they give you like 30 days to return right?

If that's the case ...I would be interested. But I would defer to others, as a newbie.

$300.

Well, that’s a good indication of what they pay for it.

Maybe I’ll make a counter-offer of $349 and promise to leave a review.

I was thinking the exact same!

I have been a fan of headless since I played my first Steinberger in the mid 80s . But just cutting of the head of a pretty mediocre guitar is not enough.
My favourites in production now are Aristides ,Strandberg , and Mayones. My GLs are still up there even after 40 years but long discontinued.

Commit properly

The least important part of a headless design is its headless. It’s all the other things you can change and improve. Balance and ergonomics are in a better place to start. These original GLs are flawless playability and never move but I have refretted them in Jescar SS 57110 frets .

I need a Hydra.

Andertons Music Video about them-



And if you just want playing and no talking m, they posted a second video-

Next door’s cat knows more about guitars than those two.

Predictable Eagle is predictable.

Very nice, although none of them are orange. An orange finish is known to immediately boost the quality by a factor of 5.87
