Good vid, I really like my Hush - X, it is great for practising and is pretty good guitar. It isn't perfect and the neck pickup is a lot quieter, but I rotate it quite regularly between my guitars. The string action is incredibly light , so if you struggle with playing guitar, this is a good option. It sounds pretty good distorted on the humbucker and the middle pickup position provides a nice clean sound. for quiet practice, I use an Xvive mini plug amp with the earpieces and it is a really good distorted sound. You can also connect your phone via the aux jack and jam privately to backing tracks or spotify with a kick ass sound. If you want a great travel guitar, or just a smaller guitar to jam around on, this is a good option.
I'm impressed. Improvements would be a bottom bracket that attached at two points like the top. Offer larger thicker brackets. More information about the frets, scale length, nut width.
I have one. Replacing the strings is a problem with this guitar. You have these tiny grub screws on the headstock which are a PITA to deal with. Two screws for each string. Feeding the strings through the tiny holes is also not fun. They should make it like a Floyd locking nut instead. I tightened one screw too much and the string snapped. Other than that it’s not too bad over all. But it doesn’t play nearly as well as a Strat or Les Paul.
They include those rubber tubes to help but I agree it’s a bit of a pain compared to other headless guitars but you can’t beat the price on the Donner.
Looks good. I wonder if they aer likely to come out with a version of this model with a piezo pick up as well. Do you think that would work? if we're travelling with the guitar it could be good to have all the sounds. However, it may be that ou think that the single coil pick up would be close enough to an acoustic sound to be useful.
@@Music-for-Miles Good point but I was thinking that if they would produce a version which has both a piezo and the magnetic single coil and humbucking pickups this would make for an even mofe flexible travel guitar and increase my inclination to buy one.
Can you down tune it easily? I saw on another review he was having issues with the tuning pegs at the bottom coming out going into drop d. Edit: Nevermind he said he ended up not having enough string length lol.
I love and hate this guitar. Size and feel is great, but the sound is terrible. Looking forward to a video where someone changes the pickups, as I am thinking about it too. I am not a pro, but hoping this could improve the sound in "mini amp environments" - like the "spark go" for practicing in my camper. Any recommendations for a low cost pickup (as this is still a travel guitar) but could help to feel more comfortable with its sound? 🙏🙃
I might mod mine. The single coil is way too quiet compared to the humbucker, you can fix it using some foam to raise it but curious if it’s a good mod platform. I sent Donner some feedback but my worry is it’s a pcb or something once you open it up and it won’t be easy swap
@@Music-for-Miles I am less concerned about it being too quiet, than its high sound, which I dislike and can't really get adjusted with my mini amp so far (with the bigger blues cube it works okay though). I haven't opened it yet, but I am concerned about a pcb as well. I was thinking about a DiMarzio DP175S True Velvet BK and a DiMarzio DP 155FBK The Tone Zone combo, as these ares used on the Ibanez RG721FM, which sounds great for a mid priced guitar. Please let us know if you give the mod a try. 🙏🤓
DON'T BUY THIS unless you want to risk a world of pain. Bought one and the pickup selector broke after a month. Donner's customer service is non-existent. No telephone number and they ignore all emails. BEWARE!
Check my latest review of Strandberg. I love Donner but Strandberg takes the cake on quality and neck ua-cam.com/video/th4xQGZ80Lg/v-deo.htmlsi=FHzNLA5VH_u7zLqO

It's good attention to detail that you played the same riff for the different tones. Helpful review!
Отличный инструмент, судя по всему. Спасибо за обзор, теперь точно убедился, что надо брать!

How do you actually connect your phone? I know it has an aux plug, but whose phone has an audio jack anymore?
My Samsung does, otherwise you get a Bluetooth transmitter/receiver that uses the aux input into guitar.
Much improved
Now Donner needs a 1.1
Couldn’t wait for 9:20 to start playing the guitar 🔥 nice

4:08 The notches in the tuning keys make it possible to use a Pick to turn the key in emergency situations.
Waiting for the 24 fret version with tremolo, I wished Donner would redesign the lower cut for the higher frets.
That’d be sick! Things still a little acoustic feeling they need a shredder version for sure!
Maybe check the steinburger spirit?
i am impressed with the donner company now
Thanks for the demo....nicely, covered everything!
Thanks for the review. I travel full time and am looking for something to take either me.
That guitar sounded like an acoustic on the clean demo! I like it but looks tiny on you. 9:20

Nice vid
What’s the thickest strings that can be put on this? I use 12 - 60 in drop C# tuning
You can drop tune it for sure but it’s not a very fast guitar like a standberg it’s more like a Gibson neck

Single coil was very close to the acoustic sound.
@@Music-for-Miles That's interesting to hear, thank you.
Forgive me but isnt the hush I a piezo? (The other version of the hush)
@@jasalajoshua yes. Hush I is acoustic

I had no issues doing drop D
Can you play through the fire and flames though?
I can! I love Dragonforce!
hi sir you thnk can upgrade to bridge with tremolo?
That would be difficult and require major modifications but probably possible if you got the right bridge

dang
Buy a new pickup selector 🤷 can't cost more then $5
@@ethan-kb5jpyou didn't seen this guitar
Hush 1 vs X? I am really confused. Please advice..
Hush 1 is an "acoustic*" where as thee X is electric as having the pickups allows for all the rock goodies.
Like a Stratocaster tone??
Steinberger seems better in terms of upper notes, tremolo bar
Donner seems better in terms of weight and being able to use single ball strings
Check my latest review of Strandberg. I love Donner but Strandberg takes the cake on quality and neck ua-cam.com/video/th4xQGZ80Lg/v-deo.htmlsi=FHzNLA5VH_u7zLqO
@@Music-for-Miles I mentioned STEINBERGER which is in the same price range with donner. Strandberg is another level, thanks for the video
they need to improve the access to the higher frets, than it would be the perfect travel guitar.
Sleep token!!!!!!!!!
What does it sound lime through the head phones?? Like an acoustic?
Yes! No distortion
Hi bro, is hight of the strings adjustable on the bridge? Thanks in advance
Yes !
@@Keepitheavy thanks!
What’s it like with a strap on it …is it still playable as a normal electric guitar
Playable yes! Like a normal electric? Not at all this is a light weight headless guitar so it will take some getting used to.
But can you play stairways to heaven though?
I’ve been banned from playing that haha
What songs did you play with drive?
UFO - Hot N’ Ready was the first riff
Has the guitar got 24 frets?
No it does not! Its more traditional
Bruh I dont know how to play not one instrument
best is a bit OTT
Unbeatable for the price, not the “best”
@@Music-for-Miles i mean best place for reviews - doesn’t make me want to sub
@@NikosAnimalsthen don’t sub 😂
@@savagemidnight3779 free advice
2:43 the strap should also be able to be used on the guitar. FAIL
The hush-I has a dual use strap the hush-x is not. It came with a separate strap for the guitar.
@@Music-for-Miles ahh, thanks, good to know that Hush I actually does that

You could change the electronics if you want to keep using it
Can you play Eruption on it?
You definitely can
