Hedras has worked with Cort Guitars to develop two signature models, the X700 Duality and the Mutility, and a third model, the Triality, which is scheduled to be announced in 2024. This line of guitars is derived from the Cort X series, and Hedras was involved in the creative process from the start. This collaboration eventually led to a partnership with Fishman, and all Duality, Mutility, and Triality guitars are now equipped with Fluence pickups, Hedras’ favorite.
Hedras is one of the most exciting and innovative guitarists of his generation. He is constantly pushing the boundaries of the instrument and creating new and exciting music.
