Which Travel Guitar to Choose? Donner Hush-X vs Hush-I (Honest Review)
These are what I consider the two best travel guitars on the market today (based on value for money): the Hush-X and the Hush-I Travel guitar. I decided to buy and try both of them to be able to decide which one to keep.

Hush-I Travel Guitar 👉 geni.us/sDROAk (Amazon Affiliate Link)
As you’ll notice from the video, I’m not a very experienced electric guitar player, so I can’t show off by shredding, and I don’t talk much about the specs of the guitars, like pickups or volume and tone controls. I only talk about the stuff that I know, but I hope that you’ll still find it helpful to be able to choose a travel guitar.

Play it bruh! 😅
Great review, very thorough. I appreciate you mentioned the customer service experience.
Very good review. Thank you very much
thank you man very much i was hasitatated about what to choose but now you dispelled my doubts
Thank you! Really helpful 👍
Glad it was helpful!
the hush i pro is coming, I hope you will review it too! from initial look, seems like they addressed some of your concerns
Awesome review. Thanks
The wooden body is more suitable for left-handed players, right-handed players might feel comfortable with the body upside down and upside down, as well as the location of the end pins for the strap, the ergonomic design is wrong with this Hush type
Thanks for your review and showing me some stuff! Love the X, so I chose that one! So putting the battery in is our on/off button lol? Still checking out everything.
No one cares if you bought it with your own money or if you bought it with Monopoly money. Jesus Christ, get a clue.
Great review, thanks. You answered all my quesions that I couldn't get answers to on the Donner website or its reviews, and more. I guess I wouldnt need the cable when travelling with the Hush-X so that would drop a bit of weight.
Hello wich string you think is better for hush-x?
How's life with the hush-x?
Of all the reviews I’ve seen yours is the only one that showed the action, which is something to me that is important. Thank you. This is why I have a solid distrust for all those other UA-cam “influencers” that get paid by the companies of the products they review. I was skeptical about why none of them actually showed the action in their reviews. Most didn’t even talk about it. Thank you again for a thorough and honest review.
Thank you @MarcGaerlan, I had that same issue with all the other reviews, that’s why I decided to do my own :). I’m glad it was helpful.
Thx but you didn't review the difference in the sound??🤙🏽
Yeah that’s true, I didn’t play the hush I. Oops. Video was already too long and I was getting tired of it. Lol.
@@MarcoPinoGuitar my Husk-X just arrived today. Time to get my learn on.🤙🏽
Thank you! Most helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. That’s a deal breaker for the electric So you are stuck on a single Tuning. I like to have a tuning range from e standard to C Drop So it’s the acoustic version I’ll get then.
I was able to fix the tuning issue after changing the string. So no problem to use other tunings now. But not sure how that would affect the action of the strings. There is no way to change the height od the entire bridge as in a regular electric.
The only useful review for a prospective buyer. I especially appreciates the demonstration of how it hangs on your body when played.
Thank you. Glad to hear that
first good (honest) review on this model. I really appreciate it. Cheers
Glad it was helpful!
I have a question can we play both in hush x like acoustic and electric?
I’m not sure what you mean. The Hush X works like any standard electric guitar, but it’s more silent when unplugged than a regular electric guitar because the small body. The hush I has a pickup under the bridge which gives it an acoustic sound and the factory strings are acoustic metal strings.
I'm still skeptical about these guitars especially when it comes to body balancing, and changing of guitar strings and how they hold. But your review has some of the answers I was seeking and probably help me decide which guitar I want. Thanks for the great review and sharing your first hand experience.
Is there any way to change the action (string height) of the Hush-X?
Yes, you can easily adjust it with the truss rode and also for each individual string by adjusting the action-adjustment screws at the bridge.
Great review -- useful & insightful. Thaniks!
Glad it was helpful!
This was such a good review, giving the real experience of playing both guitars, some really good insights into both. Probably the best guitar review I've seen, thanks!
Great review - thanks. Is the ergonomic issue the same for both guitars?
Yes, it is!
thanks :)
Welcome!
I just got mine and the strings were trash and the action was just thrown together crooked. Took me almost two hours to fix it and get it tuned and playable. Looked up customer service number and it’s shut down until May 1st 😂. Kind of a joke but atleast mine plays now.
How did you find the string changing system btw?
*promosm* 💋
If I get one it will be to modify. Think first would be moving strap buttons a bit. Wish the steinberger was as thin like this, available in a burst or wood tone, or that the x had a tremolo. There are some Chinese headless guitar tremolos online, guess I'll figure out if it's possible with fit first. String spacing etc.
Great job on the review--5 stars! Helped me decide to buy the Hush-X.
Happy to hear it helped you make a decision 👍 and thanks for the positive feedback 🙏
how do you like it so far?
@@thiagoguerijust grabbed mine this week. Been playing for 3 years at the intermediate (crossing into advanced) level and it’s very convenient. Sounds pretty nice plugged in raw. And the earphones were an amazing addition to the gig bag set. My biggest issue is the action fresh out the box. It makes playing uncomfortable. But I’m taking it to my local luthier rn

Thank you for this video. The balance of this guitar makes it totally unacceptable for me.
Maybe flipping the lower stand would solve the inconvenience? : ua-cam.com/video/jUF1FIr-R7c/v-deo.html
Hmmmm haven’t tried that yet.
Thanks for your review! Honest and unbiased .I’m in the same boat deciding between the two ( I’m not sure my wife would like me buying the two to decide) lol.. I am glad you strummed them unplugged..just to get an idea of the natural sound. The high action on the hush 1 is something I’ve read about and the brackets on the donner hush x are certainly better..I’m leaning towards the hush x.. going to see if there’s any deals.
If you would like the Hush I would suggest waiting for some time. There is a new version coming up which have the same system for the stand as in the Hush X, but you might need to wait at least six months or perhaps even a year. That’s how much I waited for the Hush X once it was first announced.
Oh and btw, if you are in the US check Wallmart online. Last time I checked they had some good prices.
Namm 2024, but they haven’t announced anything yet. It might take another six months at least.
I have an email into Donner regarding the I-pro. Nothing back. @@MarcoPinoGuitar
Hi.Thanks for a very enlightening review. It stands out, especially for dealing with the ergonomics of the guitars. Since you also have a Stratocaster, maybe I could trouble you to give me some advice? I went a bit overboard and bought a Fender Player Stratocaster HSH PF TBS for my 8-year-old son. He's been playing acoustic guitar for a year, and I wanted to inspire him by introducing him to the electric side as well. I chose that model because of its versatility with the double humbucking pickups, "Modern C"-shaped neck profile, 9.5"-radius fingerboard (?), etc, so that he wouldn't be limited in the future... I'm not a practicing guitarist myself, but maybe you understand the similarities/differences in the setup compared to the Hush-X? Well, that kind of backfired, because the Fender is a full-size guitar and weighs in at 3,5 kg. It was of course a bit big and cumbersome for him to handle and not really inspiring at all. The body is a bit too high for him and keeps falling forward when he's sitting down. The strap doesn't really help either, unfortunately. 1. Do you believe that we would gain anything by selling the Fender and purchasing the Hush-X? 2. If you think maybe the balance would be a problem, do you believe it's possible to move the front strap to the small free area of the wooden frame on top of the guitar. Or maybe put some kind of clamp on the metal frame? Would the metal frame hold the weight of the guitar? It doesn't seem to be really locked into the body at the front, where you would like to put the front strap. I studied your sofa comparison and realized that the frame is a lot smaller on the Hush-X. Even though the Hush-X seems to be positioned a bit higher over the lap, compared to the Fender. ? I find that the Fender is well balanced, and doesn't fall over forward, if you are an adult that is. The front strap is positioned centered on the body depth-wise and above the center point height-wise. The back strap seems to be positioned more or less center, center. The balance problem with the Hush-X seems to be that the back strap is positioned below the gravitational point, even though it's center depth-wise. With the front strap positioned on the back, the guitar has no choice but to fall forward. Sorry for rambling.
Thanks for the video! You really cannot tune to D the default string? It's so weird. So, when you change the string and tune in to D can you tune it back to E again?
After changing the string the problem was fixed. So yes you can tune it anyway you want as in a regular guitar. You need to get use the tuning system. If the slot is not placed properly you might not have enough space to change the tuning later on.
Watch the section where I change the string again and you’ll understand. Also I suggest you watch this video ua-cam.com/video/jUF1FIr-R7c/v-deo.htmlsi=hgHChYYNuLZregqZ
