HILS Guitars HN6 NEXT Ultra Gold Chameleon Hovedløs guitar

HILS Guitars HN6 NEXT Ultra Gold — Flagship Headless Electric Guitar

This model is the brand's current flagship headless electric guitar, replacing the HN7 at the top of the NEXT Series. Built around a mahogany body and a 5-piece roasted maple/walnut neck, it delivers reduced weight, balanced feel, and improved upper-fret access. Guitarists who want a stage-ready instrument with active Fishman Fluence pickup versatility will find this model a top-tier choice.

What Sets the HILS Guitars HN6 NEXT Ultra Gold Apart

The proprietary Alchemy Custom Tremolo bridge delivers smooth vibrato action and rock-solid tuning return after dive-bombs. The color-shifting Ultra Gold Chameleon gloss finish transitions between warm gold and fuchsia/rose tones depending on the light angle.

Mahogany Body and Headless Construction

Mahogany produces the warm, full-bodied character with strong midrange presence that defines this tonewood. At approximately 3 kg, the guitar sits comfortably against the body whether seated or standing, eliminating the neck dive common to many conventional designs.

• Body Material: Mahogany — warm, resonant core
• Finish: Gloss Ultra Gold Chameleon — color-shifting gold to fuchsia
• Bolt-on construction provides straightforward maintenance and service.
• Weight: approx. 3 kg — overhead-bin travel ready

Roasted Maple and Walnut Neck — Stability and Speed

A 5-piece roasted maple/walnut neck is built for stability and a smooth playing feel. The roasting process removes moisture, reducing warping. Paired with an Indian rosewood fingerboard and a compound 305-406 mm radius, it accommodates both rhythm chords and lead bends.

• Neck: 5-piece Roasted Maple / Walnut — dimensional stability
• Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood — warm, balanced tone
• Scale Length: 648 mm — familiar string tension
• Frets: 24 Stainless Steel Medium Jumbo — durable
• Nut: TUSQ, 42 mm — consistent tuning

Fishman Fluence Pickups and Alchemy Tremolo

Active Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers — combining ceramic and alnico magnets — deliver noise-free operation with multiple voicing options via the push/pull volume and tone pots. The Alchemy Custom Tremolo bridge pairs with titanium locking tuners for rock-solid tuning stability even under aggressive tremolo use.

• Pickups feature HH configuration with ceramic and alnico magnets for tonal versatility.
• Controls: Volume (Push/Pull), Tone (Push/Pull), 3-Way Toggle
• Bridge: Alchemy Custom Tremolo — reliable tuning return
• Strings: D'Addario EXL110 (.010-.046) — full-length, no cutting

Who Should Play the Instrument

It is the right choice for guitarists who want a lightweight, ergonomic instrument with active Fishman Fluence tonal flexibility. Metal and progressive rock players benefit from tight low end and articulate highs, while the push/pull coil-split opens up cleaner tones for jazz, blues, and pop.
