I have considered headless guitars, but the Jackson soloist/dinky just always wins out for me in the end. 40+ years and it is still the pinnacle of electric guitar design in my opinion. Still might get a headless though lol
I've been waiting for these guitars' reviews to come out since their video at Guitar Summit this year.
I actually enjoy the looks of stranbergs and other more "affordable" headless guitars. The only problem is that most don't come with a trem system, and when they do, again, is the strandbergs (out of budget) or other expensive ones.
These Hils Guitars with trems: actually fine price and specs imho. BUT… I still don't fully like their shape???? there's something about them that doesn't click for me aestheatically… so not sure to actually go for one.
On the push/ push thing vs the cheaper push/ pull knobs, I played this Gibson Trad II with a Floyd on it in a music store when that guitar came out, and it had push/ push knobs on it…I automatically preferred push/ push knobs after playing that guitar.
Hi Anderton folks…I live in the states, and the trem versions of these are not going to be available to us until February…( 🙁 sideways sad face)…do you folks ever ship to the states, and if so, does the shipping cost and anything else that goes with buying from the UK make it cost prohibitive? Also, another question about these: is the wiring in the ones that have their own Hils pickups in them the same as Fishman Fluence wiring? I'm saying Fishman because I see that the "bells and whistles" model has Fishman Fluence pickups in it, so I'm asking as to consider getting it, and if I ever wanted to go with Fluence pickups, it would be easy to do so…if not, it isn't a big deal. Thanks for the video, and hope you all and yours are doing great!
could you guys please sort out what the differences are between the HN´s. (3 and 5 etc..)
what strings are you guys using in this video? is it 25.5" scale ?
THE BEST SOLO EVER PLAYED BT THE CAPTAIN!! Sounds amazing at 1.25 speed.
Everyone wants a little head
Put the jack on the back and use a right angle plug.
"easy access..worth all the money"..LOL
I bought one of the limited edition purple hardtail model yesterday! As my first headless guitar ever im super excited for it to show up!
Fishman pickups with the hardtail bridge would be awesome!
Eart makes a great Headless 4 the money also. I have not played a Hils yet!
It amazes me that any guitar/gear nerd would have anything negative to say about any of your videos. I've been watching relentlessly for a few years now and I gotta say, I love everything about them. You guys are awesome! Lee, I have really enjoyed watching your playing progress over time. Pete, your playing is awesome as well man. I'm not sure what I would do if you guys ever stopped recording and posting videos. Keep it going guys! Merry Christmas from Kentucky, from my family to all you at Andertons and your family's!
Holy shit, they improved the ergonomic contour on the bottom!????
The Steinberger GM-2T still has the best looking body shape.
How is the tunnin stability on the trem versión?
Cool, but does nit turn my crank, the simplicity, aesthetics and sound of the 70’s year old designs is all I want in a guitar, that goes for anything in life, modern design , materials and finishes do not appeal to me, brands should leave the accounting and marketing departments out of design and development room
Wow, Lee's playing has really gone up a notch
The hn4 has a trem but passive pickups instead of active pickups
When will you be stocking the headless 4 bass as it's already being sold in the U.S. ❤
Yes… just like ducks
I could do with some head
The quality of a business is based on the level of its customer service and how they deal with problems, any company with the funds can have a nice website, hold a good range of products and market themselves well. We realise how "good" a company is however when there are problems and how they deal with them.
I have spent nearly £3000 with Andertons over the past 15 months, I started using them primarily because they are a family business and I prefer to deal with such because you tend to get a better level of service even though you often pay a little more for what you want. Until a week or so ago it had always been a simple and straightforward process of see what I want, order it, look forward to receiving it and then the pleasure of getting it and using it. This is just as it should be and certainly with guitars there's that wonderful "New Guitar Day" experience that we all enjoy so much, it's a pleasure we guitar players all share and value.
The experience I had just this last week however wasn't like the above in any way, shape or form, indeed it was the polar opposite and went from understandably unfortunate and frustrating to totally avoidable, stressful, insulting and extremely inconvenient.
I ordered and paid for a new Sire guitar on the Thursday, I rang to place the order as I wanted to ask if the guitar could be double checked for intonation issues as one of the two Sires I own had suffered with such a problem, the chap on the phone was very helpful and assured me this could be done but it may delay the order process slightly to which I told him I would totally understand and wouldn't mind at all. The order was placed and paid for and I was delighted to receive an email later that day telling me the guitar would be out for delivery the very next day.
The next morning I received confirmation that the guitar would be delivered any time up to 7.30pm, I was concerned about this actually coming to fruition however because the courier wasn't the usual and excellent DPD it was the incompetent and frankly pathetic DHL but I looked on the positive side and hoped that for once they might just manage to do their jobs (knowing of course that if things went wrong Andertons would be there to help sort things out).
To cut a long story short after 5 days I still had no guitar, calls were not replied to (by Andertons), DHL lied a lot, I had to shift a total of 5 days work calls to Monday the 23rd and Tuesday 24th which I had planned to take off for Christmas and I was extremely stressed and disappointed. For the last three days of this situation I dealt with Andertons customer service manager because I had been let down by one of their staff badly and so specifically asked to deal with management. I may as well not have bothered. Matt the CSM couldn't rectify the situation so after 6 days of inconvenience I was told "I really can't tell you when it will arrive". I made the decision on Thursday then to cancel the order but said to Matt (on two occasions and in writing) that I was not prepared to wait 3-5 working days for my refund and he said he understood and it wouldn't be a problem. So even though I didn't want to have to I cancelled the order and shortly after received a confirmation from Matt that the refund had been issued. At this point I ordered another guitar but then on checking my account saw that no money had been paid in. I rang Matt but he was busy so I left a message, he didn't call back but at 6.50pm I got an email from him simply saying the refund will take 3-5 working days and its unavoidable. I am now £500 pounds short over Christmas, having to work on two of my rare holiday days and extremely insulted. I emailed Matt saying how wrong this was and that it would cause me serious problems but as yet (now Saturday) he has not bothered to reply. He also said three times that I would be compensated for all my inconvenience but I have not been. This has been the single worst buying experience of my life and I have never been treated so badly as buy Andertons. They will never get any business from me again which I find sad with them being an independent company but the reality is they don't deserve my money and their customers when things go wrong deserve at the very least some respect. I hope that Lee Anderton sees this and maybe won't be too busy making fun marketing videos to gain sales and might do something about it.
Be careful if you buy this guitar because you will want to use it for ALL your practice! Seems a bit insane that my son and I have 15 guitars and the least expensive one is 1,800 US dollars but the Hils is the one that makes practice a breeze and you get it for under 500 dollars. If you want the best guitar for the money. this is it!
No. Just, no. Go away, headless guitars!
Uncle Pete on Bass! Yeah mon????????✌????????????
really nice guitar and great price point and a good alternative if you don’t want to spend $1500-$1700 for a kiesel or strandburge now if they can start offering left handed models
I have the Ibanez Headless and love it.
I would never buy any guitar or any brand that is active pickups.
I just don’t like it.
Awesome video as always men ????????
Lee's playing is grown up incredibly, it's very inspiring 🙂 time to get some fire going with some fast licks though!
Most agree that people love their guitars for how they look, in a lot of cases more than a lot of other considerations, it's certainly how we choose them. With the best will in the world, these look ugly as sin – so even if everything else was perfect, I couldn't bring myself to own something that looks so bad
