Happy with the instrument, love the portability. I'll adjust the saddle as pretty high past 13th fret but intonation is good. She's a keeper

Dinner has thought of everything. Very happy with my new travel companion! Thank you!

I've purchased it to be able to travel, what it does really well. Also cannot complain of the sound, mainly because I am still learning how to play.
But that came missing the earphone case (what donner give me 32 CAd refund- what was fair not definitely reduz the satisfaction perception and starts result in some frustration) and some details on painting shows a lake of attention on some quality aspects of the product.
So, that is ok, but there are some frustration.

Really comfortable and great sounding guitar, I love its size, great instrument for traveling. The only downsides I see are the high action (some might like it, I prefer the action to be lower), and the soft case, as I believe it makes it harder to travel safely with this guitar (I thought I saw a hardshell case in the description, so blame on me). All things considered, I love this guitar and I recommend it!
Miguel L.
I actually am impressed by this guitar, it is extremely portable! The tone is great for what it is, and as always it's up to you to find your tone (your amp/your presets/effects etc). For the action, it is high by default but it is an acoustic guitar so don't expect it to play like your electric out the box. Anyhow, I liked it so much I inquired about trading it in for the pro model
My only con is the installation of the body parts is a little tedious compared to the pro's push and pull method - that just makes it much easier overall.

Quality level is generally high with the exception of the tuners. They are hard to turn and are imprecise. Also, I had watched a video review of the hush-1 nefoe purchasing and it was noted how nice and low the action was. Not so on my unit, with the action on the low e-string at the 12th fret being about 4mm rather that the review.
Aside from those two things the quality is pretty good though and the overall design, including the case is excellent.
John L.
It is a very nice instrument
I had to lower the action, and use a new battery.
it is after all, a travel guitar. not a gig player.
It should be blue tooth. so one doesn't have to have wires to the buds.
It is stiff in the action, but I am getting used to it.
It stays in tune, and is finicky.
I am spoiled rotten by high end guitars. so I am fussy now.
It's tonally sound, and comfortable to sit with.
overall, a very nice travel guitar , has everything one would need. it's not a Strat. or a Les Paul. but plays like a PRS. kinda in the middle. for what it is, and how lightweight it is, it is an engineering marvel . I am very happy to own it, and the finish is very nice. I would suggest a nicer setup. before shipping. I would recommend this guitar, highly with respect for what it is. The only issue would be, it should be wireless. My friends shit themselves , when I take it out. it's visually stunning. ! overall, a good build

I bought the Hush-1 for travelling in Asia. It is one of the few "acoustic" guitars that fits into the Asian airline specification for carry on baggage - less than 115 cm when the length, width and height are added together. The Hush-1 comes out to 113 cm. I found that it fits diagonally inside my largest suitcase, so no need to carry it on! I plan to be away for 2 months and don't want to go that long without practicing. I changed the strings to the 11-52 I use on my acoustic guitars, and was able to reset the neck properly to achieve nice low playing action - .900 on the low E, .075 on the high E. This is after doing a set up that started with changing strings, resetting the neck for the thicker strings, filing the nut slots for .020 clearance first fret, and sanding down the saddle for the 12th fret string clearance noted above.
This guitar has a very nice neck for the price - straight, well finished, frets are very nicely smoothed on the ends, nice satin finish on the neck itself. The truss rod works but I wouldn't try putting 12 gauge strings on it.
It holds tune well. And it's a good thing because the tuners are the achilles heel of this guitar. They are precise enough but a pain the butt to adjust. You can't tune it using your fingers - they're too stiff for that. You need to use the provided Alan key. Too bad they didn't send one with a butterfly knob on the end! If they put on a decent set of tuners, this guitar would be a 5 out of 5.
You can hear it well enough when practicing with a pick - no earphones needed. The included pickup and electronics are no hell, but they do work, and the guitar sounds pleasant enough, though it's not a real replacement for a decent acoustic. However, it would do in a pinch for a gig.
All in all, I'm very satisfied given the cost, but this could be a big winner if you could retrofit it with decent tuners, or if it came with a good set. It would be worth the extra cost - another $100, say, and I'd be delighted with it.
Fred L.
The instrument and accessories arrived in good time and in perfect condition. Everything worked as advertized and the guitar is a joy to play. Sound fidelity with the earphones is excellent. I haven't figured out how to effectively clamp-mount the tuner, but it is easy to use and very accurate. Everything fits very compactly within the travel case.
Harry S.
Probably the best travel guitar available, especially for air travel
And it’s not a toy, plays and sounds great
Thnx Donner
HELENE J.
Absolutely awesome instrument! Quality of materials is top notch. So much fun! And easy to travel with. Everyone who sees it wants one.
Robert L Foster Jr.
I have my Hush 1 right here next to me! It's fantastic!
Derk DeVries
So I bought one. I’ve been playing overall about ten years and I travel a lot for work. I also have a Traveler Speedster Hot Rod I used to use exclusively for travel. Here’s what I found. I had to remove the nylon bridge insert and sand it down about ten mils to get the correct height for the action. The neck was crazy bowed, but was corrected with the truss rod adjustment to tolerable action.
Thoughts in general…. For me it is a way more playable model than the Traveler guitar. It is actually quite ingenious on the body attachments which are way more comfortable (for me) than the Traveler. It stays in tune decently. Another advantage is the headphone jack is on the top and doesn’t get bumped into by my leg like the Traveler guitar does which has the headphone jack on the bottom. The case is waaay more robust than the Traveler also
Conclusion - I use the Donner now for all my work travel. Hope this helps.
Mario M.
The quitare I had bought was not what I was expected so I ask for return I had to provide picture of the packaging also paid for the return and the adress was not good I have to find out on google map
Mark G.
The pickup didn't work in the first guitar but they sent me a new working model 2 days later so all is good. The action was too high so I sanded the saddle and its great now. A perfect guitar for travelling.
Dan D.
I checked out a lot of online reviews before buying. It does not disappoint! I sounds great, especially through the earphones. I needed to lower the action a bit, but it was easy to do by sanding the base of the bridge. I have no doubt this will be with me on all my travels.
Todd G.
Great packaging. Easy to assemble and feels sturdy. Sounds great for what it is. The action is very high and I still can’t figure out where to put the tuner (no one answers me on your social media)
YVES L.
Agréablement surpris , petit ajustement a faire pour la hauteur, une affaire de rien. Sonne tres bien et prend bien les effets aussi
William D.
The guitar is very good. However, there are three things that need adjusted to make it more user friendly.
Why did you reduce the lower frame to a small cut off frame?
I reversed this lower frame and stuck a tennis ball on the short side of the frame. I now rest the tennis ball on my leg when playing the guitar. I wonder if this would not be required if both frames were full size? I would like to test this idea with two full frames.
Also, removing the lock screw from this lower frame makes it easier to rotate the guitar when playing. With the lock screw in place this can not be achieved when resting the guitar on my leg.
The pick up is extremely sensitive. I stuck a 3 inch piece of firm foam in behind the ivory, between the ivory and the tuning machines, to reduce the sensitivity of the pick up.
The A string, for some reason, has a strange echo when plucked with my thumb. I still have not yet found a fix for this.
I hope these notes will be of some value to you.
I repeat, I do like the guitar and I do enjoy playing it.
Thank you
William M O Dow

A finely finished guitar…..compact yet a pleasure to play. I look forward to when they allow Bluetooth ear buds.
Richard C.
Ordering was simple
Delivery was quick, arrived when expected
Communication re order and delivery good
Size was great for travel ( no problems with airline)
Easy to carry in the case
Guitar functions as expected from adverts
Great for silent practice which is exactly what I wanted it for
Going to add an amplifier when I get home
Darcy B.
I like this guitar for travel a lot. The playability, portability and packaging are very good. There are a couple fairly small things that I think would be nice touches. It would have been nice to have the tuner built in. There is no where that you can reasonably clip the one provided on.
A hex key with a wing nut type top (similar to a normal tuner) would be really nice. The Allen wrench is a little cumbersome.
It would be really nice to have the same attachment system as the HushX for the metal attachments.
Lastly, the aluminum tubes on the handles seem unusual and if they get cold they are nasty. In my opinion a nylon pad with a Velcro wrap that would keep both handles together (like on many duffle bags) would be better.
KIER M.
I already did a review before. I continue to love this travel guitar. After trimming 1.5 mm off the underside of the bridge and adjusting the truss rod, I cant stop picking this guitar up. The finish on the back of the neck is pleasing, the fingerboard plays well, the intonation is bang on and the options for listening with headphones or amp are great. It works really well with a Nux mighty plug. Although it has acoustic 10's, , overdrive programs sound great. The lightness, portabiliry and the metal body struts are great. I am considering the X version as I expect it is probably great as well. I cut and pressure fit small Allen wrenches for all 6 tuning cylinders as the only complaint is ease of tuning- its now acceptable. The value for the price is quite astounding.
Kier M.
Went to buy a Hush x thinking looks better than my anygigg and it was sold out. Took a chance on the hush i and after lowering bridge with a sander, and adjusting the truss rod, I'm super happy with the build, feel, sound and playability for a travel guitar. May not need an 'x'
PATRICIA S.
I ordered donner hush on nov 29, was sent a tracking number the next day, and item was delivered in 5 business days , from ontario to bc.
it's very nice looking, smooth, action is low enough for me, it sounds great. i have since bought the small donner amp that comes with the power cord ( one type only uses batteries) and it's great too.
I love it.
kamryn D.
I wish there was an off button
David C.
So far the combo is great. Mix it with a portable amplifier and you have the best of both worlds. The guitar sounds great and aside from a little learning curve, the pedal has great sounding features.
Alan B.
They say you get what you pay for. This is true. But there is value here. This is a guitar good enough for me to play live gigs with as a specialty guitar. plus it looks cool! I plan to make improvements to it by having it set-up by a professional luthier. The action it a bit high for me out of the box.
One of the main pros of this guitar the convenient ability to travel with it. It is light, small enough to bring on an airplane. Seems to be durable. The tuner and earphones are not the best but do the job. The guitar sounds great through earphones.
Mike W.
I travel alot with a gear bag hotel bag and paper work book bag. I recently purchased a hush guitar to add to my gear and practise on the road. wow small compact easy to carry. doesn't take up very much room. sounds great. thanks guys great product

Awesome songwriting companion. When an idea pops, I reach for my Donner!

I recently purchased the Hush-I Acoustique Guitar, expecting nothing more than a simple instrument to strum away my worries. Little did I know that this guitar had a secret identity that would rock my world! Brace yourselves, folks, because this review is about to take a wild turn!
First impressions were deceiving, as the Hush-I Acoustique Guitar appeared to be an ordinary six-stringed beauty. Its sleek design and smooth finish made it an instant eye-catcher. Little did I know that beneath its innocent exterior, a hidden power was waiting to be unleashed.
One fateful night, as I laid the guitar gently on its stand, I heard a faint humming sound. Curiosity got the better of me, and I watched in awe as the Hush-I Acoustique Guitar began to transform before my very eyes! It morphed into a full-fledged robot, complete with flashing LED lights and a metallic sheen that would make Optimus Prime jealous.
The transformation was nothing short of mind-blowing. The Hush-I Acoustique Guitar Robot stood tall, ready to rock the night away. Its strings became laser beams, and its body emitted a symphony of electrifying sounds. I couldn't believe my luck; I had stumbled upon the ultimate rock 'n' roll companion!
The Hush-I Acoustique Guitar Robot proved to be a versatile performer. It effortlessly switched between playing soulful melodies and shredding epic solos. Its robotic limbs moved with precision, creating an otherworldly experience that left me in awe. I even caught it dancing to its own tunes, showcasing moves that would make Michael Jackson proud.
But the surprises didn't end there. The Hush-I Acoustique Guitar Robot had a built-in voice modulator, allowing it to sing along with me. We formed an unstoppable duo, belting out tunes that shook the very foundations of my neighborhood. Who needs a backup band when you have a guitar that transforms into a rockstar?
While some may argue that the Hush-I Acoustique Guitar Robot's transformation feature is a mere gimmick, I beg to differ. It adds an element of excitement and unpredictability to my musical journey. Every night, I eagerly anticipate the moment when my guitar will awaken and unleash its true potential.
If you're tired of ordinary guitars and seek a musical companion that will take you on an intergalactic journey, look no further than the Hush-I Acoustique Guitar. It may not be what you expect, but trust me, the transformation is worth every penny. Prepare to rock out with a guitar that defies convention and becomes your very own rock 'n' roll Autobot!
Disclaimer: The Hush-I Acoustique Guitar Robot's transformation feature may vary from person to person. Results not guaranteed. Please consult your local guitar dealer before expecting your guitar to turn into a robot.

Added this little beauty to the collection! I’m headed out on an airplane next week and it’s coming with me! Plays like an acoustic. You listen with headphones. The top and bottom frames come off and pack away in the case. It’s a sweet travel solution!
Geoff W.
I was in the market for a travel guitar that would fit in an overhead baggage compartment, something that could go anywhere. I needed something small but playable and of decent quality. The Donner Hush 1 ticked all the boxes!
I am quite impressed with the design, the fret edges are smooth, the neck is comfortable and it stays in tune. It needed a bit of a setup but hey, I"ve bought guitars 3X the price that required similar attention.
If you're in the market for a decent travel guitar that comes in a case similar in size to that of a two-piece pool cue, then this is it. Great job Donner! Looking forward to the next iteration!
Larry Knudson
I actually own one and have had it for quite a while now. I love the thing! My wife and I own our own trucking company and are team truck drivers. I can be in our truck waiting at a shipper/receiver, plug my earbuds and my iPad into it, play a backing track or lessons, and jam to my hearts content without bothering my wife while she is off shift and sleeping right on the other side of a curtain. (Hence one plausible reason a person might want a “silent guitar”.) It’s nice and compact so I occasionally even play it going down the road while she is driving. Came with a very nicely padded soft case that keeps it safe when stowed away for traveling. When home I typically play one of my numerous other guitars but this is absolutely PEFECT for my intended use. I only have two wish list items for improvement. One, it would be nice if the body pieces were a quick release for easy on/off, as it is I never use them. Two, it would be really cool if it were Bluetooth capable (output and input each independent) as the cords are constantly a pain due to having to use wired earbuds and hardwire to an iPad.
Deborah P.
great practice set up while I relearn guitar after 45 years off!
Linda G.
Compact and sharp looking

I bought this guitar with the intention of sparing my wife from having to endure my not-yet-perfected guitar skills. As a beginner of over 10 years, I already own two other acoustic guitars, but Donner is my first solid body guitar. My initial impression of the entire kit was that it's an excellent choice for beginners, as it comes with everything from a tuner to picks. The gig bag is well-made, featuring plenty of cushions and adequately sized compartments to keep all your gear organized in one place. One standout feature is that the kit includes batteries for both the guitar itself and the tuner, saving you the hassle of buying them separately.
The guitar itself is crafted with high-quality materials and feels very well-made. The tuning pegs turn smoothly and responsively, making tuning a breeze. Within minutes of opening the box, I was able to start playing. I've even included a video with this review to give you an idea of its sound from the audience's perspective. It's not too quiet, but with a closed door in a room, others shouldn't hear it too loudly. However, I must admit that the promotional video is a bit misleading—it might wake a sleeping baby if you start strumming nearby.
Now, let me share my thoughts on how it feels to actually play the guitar. Keep in mind that I'm just a beginner, so take my opinions with a generous grain of salt. I found the included guitar-shaped metal piece to be somewhat impractical. Attaching and screwing it into place takes a few minutes, and without the screws, the bottom piece can rotate and occasionally come off. Since I take this guitar with me to work daily for 15-20 minute sessions, the attachment process eats into my playing time, especially when I want to play fingerstyle while sitting down.
The guitar strap is included, but the attachment holes are standard size, and one of the attachment points on the guitar doubles as an output jack, making it larger in diameter than normal. This made attaching the strap a bit challenging, and I ended up leaving it attached all the time, even when storing it in the carrying bag. Unfortunately, this caused the bag to not close properly if I wasn't careful, and the metal buckle on the strap ended up scratching the guitar while in transit.
The weight distribution of the guitar is also a bit unusual for me. The two connection points of the strap are very close together, making the neck feel much heavier than the body. As a result, I find myself holding up the neck even during brief pauses, which can be tiring.
Lastly, the guitar's shape doesn't offer many options for placing your palm while picking or doing light strumming. While it's not overly difficult to get used to, I thought it was worth mentioning.
Despite these cons, the few pros of this guitar outweigh them all. It's compact, lightweight, and incredibly easy to transport. It appears to be durable, and I can practice almost anywhere, anytime. Plus, the price is reasonable, making it a great option for beginners.
If you're considering this guitar, I suggest considering whether your situation is similar to mine and if the issues I've mentioned are things you can tolerate or adapt to. However, I can honestly say that I have no regrets about buying this guitar, and I hope my review has been helpful to you. Cheers, everyone!
David H.
I am very pleased with the quality of the guitar - it lives up to its description and to the many positive reviews I have seen on the web. And, it's a handsome guitar too.
Ian H.
I ordered the travel guitar because it is exactly what I needed. The service from Donner was great. One of the handles broke on the travel case. Though emails,I was assured that a new case will be shipped to me as soon as it arrives. I like the weight of the guitar and the way it sounds through an amp or ear buds. I'm pleased with my purchase from Donner. Ian Hully
John M.
Great guitar very small with full sound with earbuds or amp. Very quite when playing. Looks really cool. Love the asymetric neck. I highly recommend it.
Jody Cipot
I filed down my saddle a bit and this plays wonderful
Stephen C.
Fit, finish & tone all good. Action a little high out of the box but was easy enough to lower. Strung it with a set of .010's as it has a short scale.
Sounds great when plugged into an acoustic amp (Roland or Spark)(better than it sounds through its own headphones). Love the portability + case as I travel a lot with work
Carlos S.
Would like to see a quicker system to install and remove metal pieces, instead of bolts.
Keeps tune well, fretboard and frets look flawless
Overall I'm happy with it.
Neil Harmon
Paired with a SparkGO and it's the ultimate travel combo!
jimqartworks
I love mine, very mobile, most of times I'm always invited to play for a party, gatherings or even memorial service, this guitar is light, easy to pack, and the piezo pick-up is great, good sounding, although the height of the action is a little high, but I managed to adjust the truss rod, awesome awesome for the price, I cant complain, 5 starts for me!
Rich Waterman
I got the maple one put new strings reworked the saddle piece . This guitar is awesome though my Donner cyclops battery amplifier All an all great guitar for the money. I’m happy. Totally battery powered unit guitar and amp… Donner power…
Rolf S.
Odrered this to travel with to have a guitar to noodle with. Wow….. it’s great I’m playing the hush more than any other guitar. So light and nice and east to play. Nice finish on guitar as even the frets seem polished and smooth. Great guitar!

I don’t own one but would if Donner would make a 4 string bass version.
Karl
I love my HUSH-I from the moment i opened up the box. It was well packaged and was in perfect condition. I has a nice carrying case.
What i like best about the guitar is how it plays. The tone more even than my acoustic. Having a built in amp and 3.5 jack is great for practicing without interrupting people is great. Plus it looks really cool. The panels that simulate the shape of a full guitar are nice. I like that you have a choice to use the bottom or without. The perfect travel or office guitar.
Ryan
Very stylish design, crazy for its design can't wait to try
Amber Brooks
Couldn't be happier with this guitar! Great quality, great sound and a great travel case. I own a number of guitars but really haven't gotten serious about truly learning to play them proficiently until recently. Either I haven't been able to work it into my work schedule or didn't have a place where I could suck without bothering those around me. My wife and I (review will likely say Amber but this is her husband Larry) are trucking owner operators and spend a great deal of our time in a semi. With this guitar I can plug in my headset, plug in my iPad and jam to my hearts content. I can play my guitar classes, a backing track, or a metronome and it's all in my earbuds and not bothering anybody. It's small enough and portable enough that I can play it in the passenger seat of the truck while waiting at a shipper/receiver and while my wife is sleeping in back. Absolutely the perfect solution for me. The only cons I have would be that the detachable ''frame'' could easily have been engineered to snap into place with a release button rather than having to be screwed on/off each time something I would have thought would have been common sense for the designers. As it is I simply us the strap and don't even bother putting them on. It would also have been nice if it had Bluetooth rather than requiring 3.5mm audio in/out. All in all though, I can't complain. Love it!
Maximus Sallam
Great for beginners
Pros:
- The slim body is easy to hug like an electric but sounds and feels like an acoustic.
- Comes with everything you need to start. You won't need to buy anything else.
- Super ergonomic neck design makes playing way easier than with traditional necks.
- Sounds really good + not too loud when using headphones.
- lightweight, portable, and tiny.
Cons:
- The strap it comes with kinda sucks. The front strap mount is in an awkward spot on the neck and the rear strap mount goes over the guitar amp jack input hole which is a much bigger diameter than the actual strap hole. Although the strap doubles as a guitar strap and carrying case strap, you're better off getting a different strap for the guitar or not using a strap at all on the guitar, and only using the included strap as a carrying case strap.
- You have to use the Allen wrench to tune it. Tuning it with fingers alone isn't practical. It's not that big of a deal since the tool is stored in the guitar but I think the tuning pegs could have been better.
stephen Desmond
I got this because it will fit in a airline overhead, expecting a trip overseas. I am a semi pro player, and we have a band so I did not want to go without playing for 2 -3 weeks. So the good and the bad: It takes some getting use to with a headless guitar. Play it, get use to it. As above it did need set up, take it to a shop is you cant shave the nut and the saddle. I like a low action and it was near unplayable out of the box. I also dislike the strap button the jack goes through making it real hard to get the strap on it, but that is personal preference. I will add is in inconvenient to tune, tuner's don't want to clip on. It is great though as it is so small! The frettwork is passable if not good! Another plus is the reach you are able to get on the frettboard which is sort of crazy! I will add this if it got lost or stolen I would get another one. The case is better than expected and provides more protection than a standard gig bag. The guitar strap doubles as a case strap and it looks like a well thought out product. For the price it was not bad. I did not like the stock strings and one broke tuning it the first time, but hey not a big deal, again strings are a preference. I would NOT recommend this to a first time player. The sound is a little dirty in one of my amps and truth be told it is a cross between a electric and a acoustic which I sort of like!
Rodney W.
I haven't used the guitar myself, but have watched a video where it was played by a very competent guitarist whose views I can agree with, and he liked it . He sounded pretty good playing it too.
I am very much taken up with the design since I am looking for a guitar I can take with me on vacation. It is a sensible and attractive design.
James D.
Very good all around from order to arrival and quality guitar.
Zachary W.
This guitar is easy to play and so light. Pre-amp sounds good to me. Assembly was easy and it comes well packaged. Perfect practice, travel, or light home studio guitar.
Jacob Martinez
I had a problem with my guitar and the customer support team was fantastic. They responded quickly, provided clear instructions, and helped me resolve the issue in no time.
MakoT
Mechanically, this is an electric guitar.
It has a built-in amplifier and supplies sound to the earphone with a battery.
The body is light, small and easy to handle, not as heavy as an electric guitar.
And since it doesn't have a resonance body like an acoustic guitar, you can practice at night because only the sound of the strings will ring when you play.
The video has great sound, but the sound is smaller because the microphone of the smartphone amplifies it. (Please see only the feeling of playing)
When I listened to it with earphones, I was able to reproduce the acoustic guitar sound quite faithfully.
Also, I will evaluate this guitar from a beginner's point of view, but the tuning machine is included, and I didn't understand how to use it. (Maybe I think it's tuning with the strings in between)
I have a smartphone app called a guitar tuner, so I use that.
Also, in terms of playability, the space between the strings and the frets is narrow, so even beginners don't need to hold down the strings, so it's easy to play.
In addition, the back of the neck is flat, making it easy for your fingers to reach.
If you want to hear a loud sound, you can connect a speaker to the earphone terminal and you can get a normal loud sound.
Also, there is no explanation for the "PHASE" button next to the volume, so I don't know, but the electric guitar effector has a phaser (sound fluctuates), but I couldn't really see the effect.
If you attach a frame to it, it will not fit in the soft case.
Overall review
It's a friendly guitar made for beginners, and it comes with a pick and a guitar strap, so I think it's a good guitar.
Sophia Nguyen
This guitar has great sound quality for a travel guitar. It's lightweight and portable but still produces a rich, full sound that's perfect for playing on the go.
J
I bought this as a women'day present and she couldn't be happier. It's a great value for the money!

Great design! Good quality for the price!
licata
Best alternative to the other traverler guitars out there once you get used to the instrument. Comes with everything you need. Sounds good plug through an amp with some overdrive and delay. The neck is comfortable in all positions.Tunners takes a little getting used to but once you get passed this, it's fine. Comes with headphones and they actually sound good. The case and strap that doubles as a guitar straps seams to work fine. Comes with 3 picks that appears to be a oversized jazz pick. The hardware that attaches to the guitar works fine. I find that if you used the strap and the upper arm rest, you don't need to screw in the allen screw. I would recommend this to an intermediate guitar player.
jeff
Very clever & attractive engineering. Think we ordered black but a wood tone arrived which is quite beautiful so keeping it. Bought 3rd party headphones but the buds that came with it are better sounding. Using it for practice in my easy chair as I build up to serious play on my blue LAVA ME 3. Baffled on what the replacement strings are & considering the purchase of a small amp but none paired up with the Donner on the product page so these are gonna be a guess. The circuitry that makes this instrument mimick acoustic sound is fabulous.
D.
Wanted something to take with me and have softer action than my full size acoustic. Turns out to be amazing. great sound, easy to play and reach on (I'm still learning). Make note to adjust action using truss adjustment before 1st string adjustment as they do not ship with truss tightened (as per Donner Mfg). Although it is smaller than my full size I thought as a solid body it would be heavier but not the case. This adds to portability.
Emily Wilson
The sound of this guitar is really impressive, especially for the price. It's easy to play and produces a wide variety of tones and sounds.
Larry
What i like best about the guitar is how it plays. The tone more even than my acoustic. Having a built in amp and 3.5 jack is great for practicing without interrupting people is great. Plus it looks really cool. The panels that simulate the shape of a full guitar are nice. I like that you have a choice to use the bottom or without. The perfect travel or office guitar.
Ashley
I love my HUSH-I from the moment i opened up the box. It was well packaged and was in perfect condition. I has a nice carrying case.
Chris
I quite like this guitar. The small size makes it very easy to break down for travel. For the most part, I keep it fully set up and on a ukulele stand. It's the first headless guitar I've owned, which took a little getting used to. The strings seem firmer than my other acoustics, even after changing out strings. The frets are nice and smooth, although, for me, I have to press slightly further away from the fret to get the best sound. The included headphones are okay. I prefer to use my own over-the-ear headphones. Through those headphones the sound is really good, which means I can't hide from my playing mistakes (great for working on technique). It also sounds good with an acoustic amp. The neck takes a little getting used to, but feels good. I would call this more of an intermediate guitar. If i was just starting to learn guitar, I'd probably pick something a little more traditional.To be honest, this is not the first guitar I gravitate to using while at home. My dreadnought is easier to play and gets more use. But when I need to play quieter at home, or want to have something to take with me, this works very well.
