Description

Ever thought headless guitars look too modern or quirky? The HILS HNS1 might change your mind. It’s a headless guitar with the feel of a traditional instrument and a look inspired by classic S-style designs — all at a price that won’t break the bank! Perfect for testing the headless waters while keeping things familiar.

Why go headless?

Headless guitars first made waves in the ‘80s, and they’re back for good reason. They’re shorter, lighter and easier to carry — ideal for gigging musicians. Plus, their ergonomic shapes hug your body for hours of comfortable play. The downside? Most headless models cost a small fortune. That’s where HILS steps in, delivering premium feel at a price that’ll make you smile.

Versatile HSS pickup configuration

With a bridge humbucker and two single-coils, the HNS1 is ready to tackle any genre. Whether you’re a metalhead or a clean funk player, this guitar’s electronics allow you to tap into a huge range of tones:

Alnico V single-coils (neck & middle): Warm and expressive with vintage-like clarity.
Ceramic humbucker (bridge): Delivers power, punch and cut when you crank up the gain.
5-way switching: Go from Strat-style sparkle to thick rock riffs at the flick of a switch.

Key Features

Ergonomic headless design: Lighter, more compact and perfectly balanced, with sculpted body contours keeping you comfortable through marathon sessions and shows.
22 stainless steel frets: Ultra-smooth feel and unbeatable durability, so you can bend, shred and riff without worrying about wear.
Compound radius fingerboard: Start with a comfy, rounded feel near the nut for easy cowboy chords, then glide up to a flatter radius for effortless bends and shred-friendly action. It’s the best of both worlds.
Indonesian Mahogany body: Warm, rich resonance with plenty of sustain — giving your tone depth and character straight out of the box.
HSS pickup configuration: Play with glassy single-coil tones for clean and funky rhythms, plus a beefy humbucker for soaring leads and chunky riffs.
Custom hardtail bridge: Built for stable performance, with individual string saddles that allow for precise action and intonation adjustments.
Included deluxe gig bag: Keep your HILS headless guitar safe and sound whether you’re gigging, rehearsing or storing at home.

More info about this Product

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
