When you’re on the go with your guitar, two key factors come into play: portability and noise levels in your hotel room. But fear not, fellow travellers, Donner has a solution. Enter the HUSH-X, your ultimate travel buddy that’s ready to rock without disturbing the peace. As part of the Prime Day guitar deals, this model is currently 20% off at Amazon, bringing its price down to only $279.99.

Marketed as a travel guitar, the Donner HUSH-X combines the feel and performance of a classic solidbody with the sleek convenience of a headless design. It’s a full-sized guitar that fits snugly into a compact case resembling a pool cue bag.

Available in gorgeous mahogany, you can choose between four stunning finishes: sunburst, natural, black, and metallic white. The HUSH-X boasts a one-piece neck-through-body design, featuring lightweight metal frames for added stability.

Its headless design features a six-saddle fixed bridge, complete with handy thumbscrew tuners that make tuning a breeze. With a 25 ½-inch scale, 22 medium frets, an asymmetrical profile, an HPL fingerboard, a 403mm radius, and a 1.65-inch wide bone nut with a zero fret, it’s engineered for playability.

Now, let’s talk tone. The HUSH-X offers a killer pickup setup, blending a robust high-output humbucker (clocking in at around 13k ohms) with a sprightly Alnico V single-coil (about 5.4k ohms) positioned nearer to the middle of the guitar. This combination delivers a delightful mix of modern crunch and vintage sweetness. Plus, with a concentric master volume/tone knob, an active/passive switch, and a 1/8-inch Aux input along with headphone output, you can unleash your creativity anytime, anywhere.

What we said in our review

Chris Gill

"The minimal design of the Donner Hush-X certainly is compact and lightweight enough to deserve its 'travel guitar' distinction, but it performs every bit as well as a traditional full-size solidbody, making it a great, affordable all-around axe."
