ABOUT HILS GUITARS

OUR STORY


At HILS Guitars we come to North America with a simple belief: Everyone deserves to play a great guitar. 

Like many of you, we are guitar players tired of watching instrument prices climb while quality doesn't always follow. We knew there was a better way, and we knew we were the ones to make it happen. That's how HILS Guitars was born.

To achieve our goal, we've partnered with the highly respected guitar builders at Indonesia's Hex Guitars. Their internationally renowned instruments lead the way in pro-quality, feature-packed guitars at fantastic prices. Think stainless steel frets, roasted maple necks, genuine bone string nuts and saddles on their acoustics, and much more.

HILS Guitars brings those same exact features and value-driven philosophy to the US. We have no interest in competing with budget guitar lines. The only things we share with them are our prices. Instead, we're obsessed with offering inspiring instruments that play and sound far beyond their cost. 

We back it up by meticulously inspecting and setting up each instrument at our Bluffton, Indiana, USA headquarters.

The world doesn't need another line of cheap guitars, but you DO deserve a reliable, high-quality guitar that won't break the bank.  

That's what HILS Guitars are all about.

Our Mission

To provide every guitarist the opportunity to own a professional-quality instrument that will inspire them and their music for a lifetime.

Our Instruments

From premium materials and expertly applied fit and finishes to the comprehensive inspection and setup performed on every instrument, HILS guitars offer more than you ever thought possible.

PREMIUM FEATURES


Innovative Design

From our all-original NEXT headless guitars to the TALENT series' take on the iconic t-style platform, HILS Guitars starts with the best of classic guitar design and then makes it our own.

Roasted Maple Necks

Roasted maple is an increasingly popular option on many high-end electric guitars. In addition to a great feel and enhanced stability, it offers added sustain and a signature tone that guitarists love.

Easy-Access Truss Rod Adjustment

By locating the truss rod adjustment wheel at the heel, we make it fast and easy to get the perfect amount of neck relief.

Stainless Steel Fretwire

HILS Guitars feature stainless steel fretwire that has been expertly dressed from our factory. Unmatched for its durability, you may never need to worry about fret maintenance again.

Factory Setup and Inspection

Every single HILS guitar is subject to our thorough setup and inspection process at our Bluffton, Indiana USA facility. A quality guitar should play like it, and we make sure ours do.

Premium Solid Tonewoods

We feel that real mahogany, ebony, and rosewood are essential to building great guitars. Though they are becoming increasingly rare, they're still he heart and soul of our instruments.
