Great guitar for travel
Have paired with a Spay Go for all the practice tones I would ever need

I am very pleased with my Donner HUSH™ I Mute Acoustic-Electric Guitar Kit.
It will be great for travelling overseas.
leon k.
Really like this guitar. I work away for 2 weeks at a time so it suits perfect for bringing with me. It doesn’t sound the best but its a guitar for practicing with so this doesn’t matter. Definitely worth the money!
Clive T.
Didn’t live up to expectations but not too bad, Clive
Julian K.
Love the size, the sound is great. I add a bluetooth receiver and then I can jam off my phone with spotify or ultimate guitar.
The action is pretty high, so very little string bend advised. I broke one string the first time I tuned down. The tuners are a bit weird to get used to but for price and form factor its great. I'll probably carve out the bridge and change the bend on the truss rod sooner than later. Great design otherwise.
ps.
I'll also 3d print a little plug for the head so the tuner sits better. Might even put the tuner into the body.
I might also design a little add on to the bottom bar to stop it sliding on your leg when sitting.
cheers

Great service, fast delivery, well packaged, guitar is more than I expected.
Hua-Wei W.
Very good for travelling.
Tony P.
Absolutely great for travel fits in overhead locker on plane can be tuned by fingers if fitted with light gauge strings. Very good with headphones or simply plug it into an amp.
I do highly recommend this beauty
Adam P.
Very quick shipping easy to order very happy Thankyou
Steve E.
Great as a travel guitar and as a silent one for practice! However, needs a better place to attach the tuner. Also a better place for the earphone jack would be an improvement. But definitely worth it!
Max P.
absolutely amazing love playing it
Trish M.
Great travel guitar sounds great
Warren F.
Good value for money and a great sound but unplayable when it arrived. The truss rod was so out of adjustment the strings were flat against the frets. I had to get a guitar tech to adjust the truss rod.
Carl W.
Great quality and value
Craig D.
Really enjoying it , without annoying everyone else around me while I learn
Roy T.
The neck was slightly convex when I received the guitar, leading to strings buzzing against frets, particularly when fretting the first few frets.
I located a proper long allen key from a tool shop, as I knew truss rods can be quite stiff and you need the extra leverage.
It was stiff, particularly initially, but making quarter turn adjustments and retesting soon removed the buzzing while the action remained reasonably low.
It then plays and sounds fine, great for practicing without making a lot of noise. One small thing was that the thinner E string isn't all that loud compared with the others .. maybe it will improve with a bone bridge.
Overall it is musically perfect and awesome value for the price.
Manjeet B.
Its incredible to practice.
Its my first guitar and this choice was because I wanted to practice without disturbing others.
Its worth it❤️
Sam C.
The guitar that I received does not include the screws to attach the frame or a battery to power it. Although the battery may be excusable, not including screws to attach the frame to the guitar is pretty useless. Be great if you could send me some
Wayne R.
Well made and a pleasure to play, however it does have a few problems.
The sound level varies considerably across the strings. D and B are loud High E very weak. Probably due to poor pickup quality. - Its only a $5 piezo strip under the saddle.
Replacing the pickup with a better quality one got things a little more balanced but there is still work to be done.
It has the potential to become my favourite practice/travel guitar.
Note: I was sent a second guitar to rectify the problems but it is no better.
margaret t.
Incredible guitar, amazing product, every guitarist should have one!
Tim D.
Great travel guitar. Everything you need is there - including a battery and headphones! Fast delivery too!
Gary F.
Good guitar for practice
Peter H.
Love it, exactly what I wanted. Light, easy to play, sounds great through the headphones. Easy to pack away, very transportable.
Cynthia K.
I bought one and gave it a try and loved it so much I bought another. One is my studio recording guitar and the other is my travel guitar. I have a number of acoustic guitars from my professional touring days but the set up and sound of this guitar in studio is just so convenient that I keep grabbing it. Fantastic guitar.
Nick B.
Great little guitar.
Perfect for travelling
Danny A.
It Stopped working sound wise in 2 weeks, so not happy
Navraj P.
Perfect with Aerana 2000
Mohit B.
I am a sailor by profession and have to travel a lot. So it makes perfect travel companion to carry along. Light weight, portable yet powerful. Connect to amps anywhere and you are ready to go. Love the guitar.
Dawe R.
everything I expected
Andi W.
I love this guitar as it is light and easy to carry anywhere. The size is just right. The sound is also good and it is easy to tune. Definitely perfect for travel guitar.
Gilda R.
Its amazing and very handy. My partner love it so much.. thank you for this amazing guitar..!
Richard B.
Absolutely loving my Donner Hush Acoustic. Very impressed with the quality, just needed a little bit of setting up to get it playing perfectly. It’s perfect for travelling around with me in my campervan. Think I will be ordering a Hush X soon as well for the electric tones.
I modified a standard gig bag to fit it with the metal frame pieces attached, because they are a bit of a hassle to remove and put on all the time, otherwise it’s a perfect little travel guitar.
Paula F.
Purchased as gift for my husband, he is loving it
Scott H.
Was impressed about the quality of this guitar. It seems well made. Sounds fine too. Definitely needs a Bluetooth connection though for play for others. I think the model up has it. Good value for what it cost.
Michael M.
Excellent well set up great price
Jacobus N.
The guitar can sound much better, but I highly suspect that my guitar playing skills(beginner) are to blame. Other than my skill, it is an amazing piece of equipment
Michael W.
Great guitar! Perfect for carry on, and great quality for the price.
Neville M.
I bought it for my granddaughter and she loves it it
Sheryle R.
Fantastic delivery. Is exactly what it said it was. Very happy with my travel guitar that is small enough to go as hand luggage.
Joseph D.
Guitar is very slick and does it job for what i purchsed it for. Takes time to adjust from a normal guitar to this but it has all the upsides since i started using it
Stephen M.
Really like this guitar. Design is clever and practical and it sounds good too. Really light and portable and convenient for when I need to practice on the move.
Shaun H.
Great little practice guitar. The guitar came with the action set too high. A quick truss rod tweak and a couple of mm shaved from the bridge saddle and it now plays wonderfully. The piezo pickup leaves a bit to be desired but for my use of acoustic practice while travelling it’s perfect. Great price.
ED P.
Needed to lower action for optimum set-up.
Belinda W.
The guitar has a quality build and feels good.
Brett H.
Delivered so fast, and everything I expected.
car z.
It good, BUT it’s not suitable for sit and play. Or u will need sth to put on ur leg.
Angela B.
Excellent product, compact and portable, but sounds fantastic!
Ajay S.
Amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ollie H.
I'm heading from Sydney to New York next year for a songwriting workshop with Andrea Stolpe. I've wanted to work with Andrea for years, but I thought I was going to have to go with a ukulele! Instead I get to take this lovely little instrument. I'm really enjoying playing it - wasn't sure I was going to.
I took it to work today to show a friend and she bought one straight away. Lovely instrument. I'm stoked.
Steven P.
This is an awesome guitar.
Marg B.
A lovely birthday gift - thank you
Bradley S.
Looks great, a unique good point of difference.
A good replacement for my Steinberg that I can't buy strings for anymore.
The sound is crisp and is easy to play.
Craig W.
perfect service guitar is brilliant and now i can practice when i travel for work
Patrick D.
Easy set up. Sounds great.
gordon s.
Great small and light weight acoustic style guitar, good tuning stability, very little to adjust when you get it aside from personal choices like perhaps a lowered action or lighter strings. I've compared it to my Takamine and the action is about the same. String spacing is tighter, but workable. Surprisingly good tone, especially if played through a small practice/busking amp but it is also fine played directly through head phones. Very clean sound so it will definitely help you polish your technique and teach you how to get your own sound without any sound processing or other gadgetry getting in the way. Tuning with an allen key takes a bit to get used to, but once mastered no worries and as previously said tuning stability is great. It's a good bit of kit to have when you travel to ensure you can maintain your skills and sanity. Totally recommended.

Originally bought to take with me in the car when travelling with my horses, as I have limited space in my car due to all my gear. Also because the case measures just small enough for carry on domestic travel in Australia, something I haven't seen in other travel guitars. But I've found I'm using it all the time over my other guitars, because it's just so easy to pull out and play! I rarely use the metal brackets, the strap (also doubling as a carry handle) seems more useful for keeping it in a good position if needed. It came straight out of the box not needing any adjustment to the neck or on the action. After a few uses, the strings hold their tune as they should, and it sounds fine with a capo. I use it through my tiny Nux modelling amp and get a good enough acoustic sound, it even doesn't sound terrible for more distorted sounds. The carry case is well designed and well made, I'd feel quite confident putting it in the overhead lockers on an aeroplane (carefully placed). Very worthwhile purchase.
Claudio T.
Nice product. Getting used to small size, but it is very convenient.
Mark M.
Easy to play and really portable
Wilfredo P.
I ordered this by mistake instead of the electric guitar, but I couldn't return it; it was love at first sight.
It's quiet for practice, and the sound is nice and clean. The size is perfect for travel, too bad it doesn't work with my wireless amp; it shorts the transmitter, otherwise is perfect
Peter S.
I'm using it busking. So much easier carrying around. Only issue is the 6.35mm plug is a bit sensitive. It loses connection at times and I have to unplug and replug until it works. I now wrap the lead around my strap and that seems to help. (I am using the strap off my old mandolin as I figured the strap supplied is better suited to the carry case). I am having no trouble assembling the guitar and packing it way. I find tuning is easy and the guitar is keeping its tune well. And it's a talking point for people walking past who ask about my new toy!
Janet B.
My husband loves it, says so easy to play. And a great price, quick service and delivery.
Fred L.
Works well but interrupts my sleep . I get up at night and go play without disturbing my wife and find I’m up for hours!
We worth the money and will also be great to take in the caravan.
Mick R.
Great little travel unit. Used it at a gig yesterday and it sounded just as good as my Fender. Will be taking it on a fishing trip in September with a mini amp. It is absolutely brilliant. Great build quality too.
Ye C.
The silent guitar is very well made. The headphone jack is ever so handy when you just wanna practice without disturbing other people. When coupled with a guitar amp simulator on the PC, it could sound as good as any higher end guitar.
Simon R.
Very happy with it, accessories are good. Adjusting to the smaller size but sounds good and easy to set up
Garry E.
Delivery was within 2 days. Great Travel Guitar for the price. Easy to assemble and stays in tune up and down neck. Definitely worth it. Just went on an overseas holiday and used it as a carry on and it fitted nicely in cavity above airplane seats.
PHILIP ANTHONY S.
The guitar design is good.....ideal as a travelling instrument but wouldn't use it at home
The service from this company is disgusting. Email is the only method of communication and they take many days to respond. Sent me a second hand guitar with faults 2 weeks ago and still waiting to hear how I can return it.
Lee M.
Very good value
Includes ear phones pick battery
Taylor W.
Decided to pick up this guitar so then I could just pick up and play it whenever, without taking up too much space in more small room. It has by far, exceeded my expectations of it. The value in this package is insane. Would highly recommend for beginners wanting to learn guitar, as it'll include everything you'll need to get started!
CHARLEMAGNE M.
Good crisp sound.
Perfect for gigs.
Comfortable fretboard.
John B.
Great sound through headphones. Nice tone.
Line in to play along with works really well too.
And silent and private. I love it.
Tzu Ching Y.
Great instrument
Anthony W.
Value for money this is a great travelling guitar, that actually sounds ok, and the action is not bad either. I do fly in /fly out work in remote locations and don't want to take my Martin into these harsh environments, and this little gem does just nicely.

I have now purchased two hush guitars as I was so impressed by the simplicity of the design and the sensational sound. The First guitar was for me and the second purchased later for my 14 year old granddaughter who has been learning to play.
First words out of her mouth was “it is so easy to play” and has given her the ability to practice her chords while we sit near by and cannot hear anything as she has the ear phones plugged in.
With the Donner Hush you have choices, you can sit down watching tv while silently playing chord structures or playing lead or you can insert the head phones and hear your sounds just like an amp or plug a lead into your sound system and blow the dust off your book case.
Why does it suit me?
I have a Fender Strat and a Les Paul custom which I use for band work and a Tanglewood acoustic for lounging at home or around the campfire but with the Donner Hush I can put it in my suit case and take it away with me when I travel so 10/10 from me
Tony E.
Great for practice and so light.
Band has recently gone primarily electric and this also solved a problem with foldback mixing in the neatest way possible. The guitar was the only acoustic instrument left on stage, now it still is, but is also much more mixable in our small space.
Andrew N.
great guitar for travel, however some further development work is needed to make it fit into a standard airline checked luggage as it is currently too long. The action should be made adjustable by using a zero fret and an adjustable acoustic bridge. The preamp needs to have tuning, reverb and chorus functions added. The manual doesnt mention that the preamp power turns off when the headphone jack is removed. I would like a nylon strung version with a nut width of 48mm to be available, to rival the Yamaha silent guitars.
Colin S.
Quick delivery
Great travel guitar
Sounds good looks good happy with purchase
aLan L.
Funthing that does what it mostly say’s on the tin… my kids would argue it’s definitely not silent, but running through my noise cancelling headphones i can’t tell what they’re talking about!! I’ve already lost the allenkey, but that doesn’t mean you will!
Small size means the missus doesn’t mind it hanging in the loungeroom so much more likely to do a 5-15minplay everyday. Planning on testing it travelcamping later this year!
george j.
Excellent service
Great Guitar
Ross O.
Great item… nicely finished. Strong broke on first tune but replacement strings are fine. The ability to practice with little or no sound is appreciated by my household! The tone and action of the guitar is good and approximates a standard guitar. The sound through an amplifier is satisfying and gives a good
Electric guitar experience.
Sherwin C.
Really good value for what you get.
body of guitar is well made, no issues with OOTB string action (yet).
Comes with free earphones for practice, super portable with the bag- it's less clunky than a violin case.
Love the way it can be used for practice.
David O.
It is a clever design and good for travel. The thing that disappoints me is the fiddly screws to hold the rests to the guitar body. Typically I put the rests on, play the guitar then take the rests off. It would be much better if rests could simply snap into place and be released.
Juan camilo G.
Donner Silent guitar it's AND incredible product, Ist a very good tool for all the musicians , it's a difference experience, thank so much donner for your Hard work, high quality products and your responsability.
Christian D.
It really is a great guitar I’m enjoying using it and it definitely is very subtle to use
Jungwon
It’s my 10-year-old son’s first guitar and we just love it! The sound, the design, and even the fact that it’s silent, and so on.. We are glad to find it!
Colin Knight
Amazing travel guitar. Just need truss rod tightening to bring the action into desired hight down the neck. They have to listen truss rod in travel I suppose. The nut is a great hight for me. The sound is great and plays well through positive grid bias FX for some different sounds on the go.
Scott A.
Bought it for my son- he loves it!
AK
Traveling across the country, I needed a reliable guitar to be able to come with. Donner Hush I was the perfect guitar!
Tony R.
My guitar arrived without any damage, although a few days later than the courier had promised.
This was not an issue.
The guitar plays well and sounds great through my Vox amp.
The strings and the string gauge is far to heavy for me, so I have given the instrument to a luthier to adjust the action and replace the strings with 9-42's light gauge, hopefully this will make it more playable for me.
Apart from that I am happy with my purchase.
Heather Allgood
"Update: my first attempt at tuning the guitar, the string snapped instantly. It appears these are not normal strings and I haven't found any to be able to replace them yet.
Being that I haven't picked up a guitar since I was a teenager, this seemed like the perfect thing to let me explore my old hobby without driving my household crazy. This guitar is beautiful. The craftsmanship appears to be very high quality. I love the metal attachments to make it look more like a regular guitar. Either way you choose still looks completely unique and awesome. I have a lot of practice and relearning to do before I am able to really play, but I'm thrilled with this product!
Dr. A.T. J.
C,mob guys it's from Santa, I don't even know it's in our caravan...lol ..talk to me in January
Neil M.
Sounds great and the workmanship is excellent!
I repair and service guitars and basses
and this guitar was well set up straight out of the box!
Very happy
