Looking to dip your toes into the headless guitar world? The HILS NEXT HN5 is the perfect way to do it. It’s light, compact and ridiculously comfy — ideal if you want modern performance without breaking the bank. With powerful pickups, a slim neck, a custom tremolo and premium features everywhere you look, this guitar is built to take your playing to new heights.
Why go headless?
Headless guitars first hit the scene in the ‘80s, but they’re back in a big way. They’re shorter, lighter and easier to lug around, making them a great shout if you’re a gigging musician. Plus, the ergonomic body shapes hug you like an old friend — so you can play for hours in comfort. The catch? Many headless guitar models cost a small fortune. That’s where HILS steps in. They’ve nailed the formula for high-end feel at a price that’ll make you smile.
Roasted Maple neck
Thermal treatment removes moisture for rock-solid tuning stability and adds a snappy, vibrant tone. This neck looks gorgeous too, with Indian Rosewood under your fingertips for that silky, luxurious feel. Stainless steel frets? Yep, they’re here to keep things smooth and durable for years of play.
HILS active humbuckers
Expect searing, high-octane tones with barely any noise — perfect for high-gain mayhem without the hiss. And with a push/pull coil-split tone control, you can go from glassy cleans to tight, crushing riffs in an instant.
Custom tremolo by Alchemy
This precision-engineered piece of kit provides awesome stability and silky-smooth action. Whether you’re adding subtle vibrato to your chords or going full-on divebomb, this trem does it with zero fuss.
