Donner NHL-500 Headless Guitar – Compact, Stable, Stage-Ready

String Instruments

If you bounce between rehearsal rooms, stages and the studio, you need an instrument that’s light, tough and stays in tune—without compromising feel. The Donner NHL-500 headless guitar blends a travel-ready footprint with reliable intonation and ergonomic balance: easy on the move, poised on stage and consistent when you hit record.

Ultra-compact headless design for life on the move

Without a headstock the overall length shrinks noticeably. The Donner NHL-500 headless guitar slips into tight green rooms, crowded trains and small practice spaces. As a travel guitar it drops into a gig bag, reduces headstock knocks and speeds up every location change—perfect for busy call sheets.
