Donner HUSH X PRO Electric Guitar

One of the most beautiful guitars any pro could ever dream of! I have back problems so the weight of the guitar works perfectly for me as it is very light and also this guitar has some of the best pre amp and effects all ready to go. Its Bluetooth connection is game changer! You can literally connect your phone to it for backing tracks and plug in your headset with it and play for hours without anybody hearing a sound around you. The body and neck of this guitar are a work of art! You can’t go wrong with this! Buy it now! Now I tell you!!!

Having both the Hush I Pro and X Pro, I can tell ya some of the differences. 1. Strings, the X Pro has nickel wound and I Pro has bronze. 2. You don't need to turn on the X Pro, just plug and play like a regular guitar. The I Pro needs to be on. 3. Obviously the pickups 4. String tension adjusting can be done by hand on the X Pro, whereas it's doable on the I Pro, but you're best off using the included allen key (that is conveniently hidden in the guitar) 5. Location of 1/4" jack, 1/8" jack and USB-C is on the bottom of the X Pro 6. Color options, both come in white. The X Pro has a black option, the I Pro has a natural wood option 7. Two more frets on the X Pro 8. Probably a a few differences in the software, but I haven't tinkered too much there yet I haven't gotten too far into the configuration and built in options yet, but will update this post with my findings. So far, it's very playable (good action and such). My X Pro is solid, no fret buzz anywhere. In summary, this is a great niche guitar as well as a daily player. Build quality is good and you can't beat the price point for the options. If you're in the market for a travel guitar, look no further.

I was torn between getting the Hush-I Pro or the Hush-X, but when I heard the Hush-X Pro was coming, I decided to wait—and I’m glad I did. It’s an excellent travel electric guitar packed with great features. What I Love About It: Compact, well-built, and premium feel – The guitar has a nice heft to it without being too heavy, and it packs down into a compact gig bag that’s well-made with good storage. The roasted maple fretboard and stainless steel frets feel smooth and effortless to play. I chose the white version, and it looks absolutely stunning. User-friendly controls & great tuning stability – The built-in tuner is fantastic—precise, easy to use, and a great addition for travel. Once you get used to the controls, the interface feels pretty intuitive. Customizable tone settings – While I initially experienced an issue with overdrive and heavy distortion presets cutting out, this was easily fixed by adjusting the noise reduction (NR) settings in the Tone menu. Lowering the NR value from 55 to around 35-45 for those presets made a huge difference, and it was simple to save the changes for each sound group. Responsive customer service – Donner’s support team responded within 24 hours. Although they were hesitant to assist at first since I didn’t buy directly from them, they ultimately provided a quick fix. Things to Keep in Mind: Unique feel & balance – This isn’t a traditional full-sized electric guitar, so it sits a bit differently on your lap and when using a strap. However, that’s expected with a travel design. Needs a proper stand – Standard guitar stands don’t fit well, but I found that a Stagg violin/viola stand works perfectly for it. Final Thoughts: Now that I’ve dialed in my settings, I’m really enjoying this guitar. It’s a fantastic option for travel—high-quality, great-sounding, and built to last. With its sleek looks and solid playability, I see it holding up well for years to come. If you're looking for a portable yet powerful electric guitar, this one is worth considering!

Just when I thought Donner couldn't do any better, they release this beast. It is near perfection. I liked the original hush guitar for what it was. Light, convenient, portable, flexible, but it lacked aggression. It was meant for cleaner play. That's the problem, I'm a metal guy. Then walks in the X Pro. It's everything I loved about the Hush, but with everything else I wanted out of it. I can literally plug in my headphones, and jam ANYWHERE. And it's even got some great saved tones modeled after famous bands/albums that you'll recognize by the names given to them. Oh, and it looks cool, which helps. It's like a Strandberg but at a fraction of the cost and has everything you need built into it. I mean seriously there's very little you could do to improve this guitar. It's a work of art.

So far this travel guitar has been excellent. I use both the on board models and effects as well as run this through a Nano Cortex, and directly to a Spark2 amp. All scenarios work very well providing excellent mobility and great tones. I would like to have savable presets in addition to the factory presets. If this is possible please let me know, as it wasn't clear to me and I haven't been able to save configurations. Again, this travel guitar is a great balance of mobility and playability!

This arrived incredibly well packaged in a very nice gig bag. The gig bag holds the guitar and everything else you'd need to start playing. And it is a very small form factor. There is a good functioning internal tuner on this guitar, which is a rarity. So, you won't need an external tuner. It comes with a high quality USB charging cable, a truss rod bar for the spoke wheel truss rod, earbuds, a bunch of extra pieces for when you lose parts of the headless string retainer—a must for those of older eyesight—a strap that doubles as a carrying strap for the case, and the two metal pieces that easily attach to the main guitar to form the "body." This guitar is a real step forward in headless design. I normally take all kinds of photos of the guitars I review, but on this one I just took a couple of the things that I found new and different. First photo is of the back, where what looks like a battery cavity is actually a holder for two hex wrenches and houses the sort of "string through." You actually see the strings enter from the bottom here—no tray for the ball ends, no strings through the tuning mechanism. This is my favorite headless stringing mechanism, and I have six different headless guitars with six different mechanisms. Photo two shows something equally unusual—a regular bridge. You can adjust the saddle height and intonation just like on any non-headless guitar. I had to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. Donner has been upping their guitar game lately, and I own about half a dozen Donners. This one is my new favorite. I love headless guitars, but I hate stringing and setting them up. This guitar solves all the problems I usually face with that. As for how it plays: it arrived with a lot of relief in the neck, which I adjusted using the spoke wheel truss rod. After straightening it, the setup was perfect. The action was 6/1000 on the low E and 5/1000 on the high E. The bone nut was cut perfectly, first fretted notes were spot on, and intonation at the twelfth fret was perfect. The neck is flawless, with excellent fret work. The frets are stainless steel with ball ends—no sprout, no high frets, and very smooth. The slim C carve is very comfortable. There’s also a little plastic cap at the end of the string retainer to protect your fingers from string ends. It hangs nicely on a cello stand, too. The guitar weighs about five and a half pounds and has a smooth, finger-friendly tuning mechanism. I played it with and without the internal effects and tried the different guitar and amp simulations. I’ve only scratched the surface, even after playing it a couple hours per day for four days. The built-in battery seems to last quite a while. The earbuds are useful when quiet practice is needed. Even when plugged into a crummy amp, it still sounded okay—likely thanks to the Alnico V pickups. I don't know if this will be anyone's main gigging guitar, but for practice and travel, it's excellent. I own several headless and travel guitars, and this is definitely one of the nicer ones. My only small criticism is about ergonomics: it’s designed somewhere between how I’d usually hold a headless and a regular guitar. It took some experimenting to find a comfortable seated position. I often end up in classical position with headless guitars, which is harder to do here—but that’s minor, as I mostly play standing. Lastly, I’d love to see Donner or someone else make a 24-inch short scale version of this design. I have a brachial plexus injury that weakens my left hand, and even before that I’ve always preferred Mustang/Jaguar scale lengths. So, there’s my two cents. Overall, this is a wonderful, feature-rich, and thoughtfully designed headless travel guitar.

Great product

Loving the Donner Hush X pro, which goes well with my other electronic, smart instruments to bring guitar into a small, mobile, home recording studio. Great fun, and going well for me as essentially a beginner guitarist. The package is great, with all the gear ready to go.

Love this guitar for it's portability and features. Has a very good neck and playability is excellent. The built in effects are quite good, and the extras that come with the guitar such as a strap, cable and ear phones add value to the overall package. The gig bag is also very good and offers good protection to the guitar.

I love how small and compact it is. I do FIFO and we have down days so it’s good to take away with me as carry on. It sounds fantastic. I yet to play with all the pre sets. I would recommend this to anyone looking for that travel guitar. Big thumbs up.

It is a good practice guitar. I had to adjust the neck shortly after it arrived, other than that the setup was ok. It works well in bypass mode, meaning not switched on, just using the pickups without the inbuilt electronics. When using any of the inbuilt amplifier settings, the notes do not sustain naturally, ie: they seem to just get cut off rather than the note volume decreasing naturally as it does on a normal guitar. I have tried using the reverb and delay options to correct it, but nothing seems to help. Other than that, it is not bad. I am not unhappy with it, but cannot say that I am excited about it. It is very good for the price.
