Product Description
The HILS HN3 Baritone Headless Electric Guitar in Satin Metallic Deep Purple is built for modern players who want extended range performance without the usual bulk. With a 27.5 inch baritone scale, compact headless design and a pair of punchy ceramic humbuckers, it is made to handle everything from tight, low-tuned riffs to articulate cleans, all while staying comfortable and perfectly balanced on stage, in the studio or at home.
Headless guitars have long been loved for their portability and ergonomics, and the HN3 takes that concept and makes it genuinely accessible. A lightweight Indonesian Mahogany body, slim C profile Maple neck and multi-radius Rosewood fretboard combine to deliver a fast, effortless feel, while 24 jumbo stainless steel frets give you rock-solid durability and silky smooth bends. Finished in a sleek Satin Metallic Deep Purple, it looks every bit as modern as it sounds.
Under the hood, a pair of custom ceramic humbuckers provide the firepower. Voiced for bright highs, tight lows and aggressive mids, they cut through dense mixes with ease. The push/pull coil-split on the tone control unlocks convincing single-coil style sparkle, meaning you can cover glassy cleans, crunchy rhythms and saturated leads without changing guitars.
Practical touches round out the package. The titanium locking headpiece and custom 6 saddle hardtail bridge keep tuning stable and adjustments straightforward, with bottom-mounted pegs making string changes and fine-tuning intuitive. A double action truss rod with spoke nut adjustment at the heel makes set-ups quick and precise, while the supplied baritone gauge D'Addario EXL158 strings let you drop into lower tunings with confidence straight away.
Headless Baritone Design
The HN3’s headless layout keeps the overall length short and the weight down, making it far easier to transport and more comfortable to play for long sessions. Combined with the extended 27.5 inch scale, it delivers tight, defined low notes and stable down-tuned performance without the neck feeling unwieldy.
Custom Ceramic Humbuckers with Coil-Split
A matched pair of custom ceramic humbuckers provides a powerful, modern voice with crisp highs, focused lows and plenty of midrange cut. Engage the push/pull coil-split on the tone control to access brighter, more percussive single-coil style tones, giving you a wide palette of sounds from one simple control layout.
Playability Focused Neck and Fretboard
The hard Maple neck with a comfortable C profile and satin finish feels fast and familiar under the hand. A 12 to 16 inch compound radius Indian Rosewood fretboard and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets make chording easy at the lower end and big bends effortless higher up, while also offering exceptional fret life for heavy players.
Stable Hardware and Easy Set-Up
A titanium locking headpiece and custom 6 saddle hardtail bridge work together to keep tuning solid and intonation precise. The double action truss rod with spoke nut adjustment at the neck heel allows quick, accurate tweaks without removing any hardware, so you can dial in your ideal action and relief with minimal fuss.
Features
- Compact Headless Baritone Format - The headless construction shortens overall length and reduces weight, making the guitar easier to carry and more comfortable to play, while the 27.5 inch baritone scale keeps low tunings tight and articulate.
- Custom Ceramic Humbuckers with Push/Pull Coil-Split - Two uncovered ceramic humbuckers deliver high output clarity and punch, and the push/pull tone control lets you switch to a more single-coil like character for added versatility on stage or in the studio.
- 24 Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets - Jumbo stainless steel frets offer a slick, fast feel and exceptional durability, so your bends, vibrato and fast runs stay smooth and accurate over years of playing.
- Ergonomic Hardware and Adjustability - The titanium locking headpiece, custom 6 saddle hardtail bridge and double action spoke nut truss rod make tuning, intonation and neck adjustments straightforward, helping you maintain a reliable, gig-ready setup.
