Unleash New Dimensions: The HILS® HZ7 Galaxy Black 7‑String
Take your playing further than ever before with the HILS® HZ7 Galaxy Black, a multi‑scale 7‑string designed for players who crave extended range, striking aesthetics, and uncompromising performance.
Built to Inspire
A mahogany body in a deep, shimmering Galaxy Black satin finish delivers a perfect balance of depth and clarity, with a sleek ergonomic HILS® Z shape that feels as bold as it looks. This guitar is built to turn heads and command the stage.
Fast, Refined Neck
Crafted from roasted maple for stability and resonance, the slim “C” profile neck glides effortlessly under your hands. The multi‑scale layout (25.5”–26.5”) keeps tension balanced for tight, articulate lows and singing highs, while the spoke‑nut double‑action truss rod offers precise adjustments for any playing style.
Premium Fretboard Feel
The rosewood fretboard with 24 stainless steel frets and a 12” radius invites smooth bends, low‑action speed, and durability you can count on night after night. Classic dot inlays keep it clean and functional.
Powerful, Articulate Electronics
Dual HILS® Active Rail Humbuckers (ceramic) bring aggressive punch, clarity, and sustain—perfect for everything from down‑tuned chugs to searing leads. Sculpt your tone with 1‑volume, 1‑tone (push/pull), and a 3‑way toggle, giving you effortless control over a huge sonic palette.
Hardware That Delivers
The aluminum alloy hardtail bridge locks in stability and sustain, while the locking 7‑string headpiece keeps tuning rock‑solid. Loaded with D’Addario® EXL110‑7 strings and shipped in a Deluxe Gigbag, this instrument is stage‑ready out of the box.
Own Every Note
The HILS® HZ7 Galaxy Black 7‑String isn’t just another guitar—it’s a tool for exploration. From progressive metal to extended‑range jazz, it’s built to keep up with your imagination and elevate every performance.
