Few questions: 1) Which body wood is that? Mahogany or Maple? I dig that shade. 2) What's the scale length? 3) Have you taken a set of calipers to the strings? What string gauge is it? Don't know why a guitar company would omit this type of information from their site.
They're not a guitar company, they're a discount music company that produces decent stuff for very good prices. They could do a few things better, but I've bought a few things they produced any I am extremely happy with them.
I bought the Hush Pro that just came out. I purchased it after looking at a lot of traveler types and just really like the looks as well as the abilities baked into the pro version. It will be my second attempt learning guitar and what I love most is ability to use the pro with headset so no one has to hear how bad i'm playing as I am learning.
I just bought it, haven't got it yet. But I really wanted a travel guitar, the silent headphone function is really useful for me and I wanted one I could easily plug into my looper and mini amp to mess around with.
Excellent and very fair review. Surprisingly credible tones, though obviously it benefits hugely from a little intelligent electronic assistance. Most of the criticisms of this instrument that I've seen have accused it of failing to do things it wasn't designed to do. And the price is fair.
Hi, I bought the Guitar hush i😁😁 nice neck and very comfortable fretboard, but unfortunately I find it a bit hard on the production strings for me 🤨🤨 I hope that by changing the strings on the guitar it will be a little softer 👍👍
I play fingerstyle jazz. The action is too high for me. I do have one of these guitars. I want to lower the action and I think I will need to sand down the saddle. What kind of strings work best with this pickup system?
Great video. I just got the maple version. I’m having trouble with it though. I use it more for travel than practice, and I was hoping to use my Nux wireless with it. But it doesn’t seem to work. The Nux works fine with every other guitar I have but not this one.
@@MattKellyMusic Wow! Thanks for the quick reply, bro. Have you played the Yamaha silent? It's probably gonna come down to price for me, but I see that there are used Yamahas on the market for a couple hundred bucks cheaper than new.
The big difference is that the Yamaha has the next features on board: tuner / reverb / connecties for an adapter / chorus. But that's the price difference. The sound of the Donner is quit good though and for one thing also: as a traveller's guitar, the Donner is even smaller
@@ConorLennon best way to describe it is that it’s quieter than a solid body electric when not plugged in. Like you can hear it but it won’t be that loud
Plllllllease haha what does this sound like not plugged in??? Looking for something to take up to camp and the walls are paper thin with misery humans on all sides
Actually this is not easy for Beginner. A bus can drive under the strings out of the box. Strings are very stiff though it shipped with 10 gauge strings. perhaps proper setup and changing good strings might help. But it is good for travel. Tone wise , it is ok when using with pedals , but raw tone lack of body and real acoustic feeling. I would only rate this 5 out of 10 if you want to use in jamming session, but perfect for travel after proper setup.
didn’t set it up at all actually. could be something wrong with urs or you could just set it up back to normal. if it’s a huge deal for ya, take it back
You can use a silent guitar using headphones, so you can get a clear sound and not disturb other people. Other electric guitars are possible, but this guitar is practical without any additional equipment
While electric guitars are meant to be amplified, hush guitars are intended to be played quietly, with or without amplification. Electric guitars use pickups to convert the vibrations of the strings into an electrical signal, which is then amplified and output through a speaker
Looks perfect for practicing strumming.
It's great!
Great review. Informative, objective, concise and focussed on user needs. Well done.

mahogany 25.5 and they ship with acoustic 10s but you can put whatever you want on them to be honest

@@johndurrett3573 I’m literally posting a demo and review of the hush I pro tomorrow 😂😂
Very nice sound ,My Donner Hush-I coming soon
wooo!
Thinking about getting one. Thanks for the review 😃
of course!

you’ll really like it if that’s what you want it for. enjoy man

Some people expect it to take you to the moon lol thanks for watching!
I have zero practical use for this... but I sort of want one now :) Nice demo here.
The battery is needed just for using the preamp? I mean can you play it into an amp as normal guitars?
Same question

I agree, by the time i wanna practice, i’ll pick up my electric or something. Definitely great for traveling.
Sounds like the Nu-X may not like the piezo-only pickup: insufficient output, maybe?
What reverb plug in did you use? What Logic Pro signal chain and settings? That made a big difference in the perceived acoustic quality.
Some of it was just DI. Others were the Amp Sims in Logic and some were from Neural DSP
Where do you clip on the included tuner?
Wherever you can ahha
Thanks for this. I'm in the market for a travel guitar and am considering this and the Yamaha Silent. Any thoughts, anyone?
you probably couldn’t go wrong with either!

@@countrymonkOSB I only know OF it, don’t much about it. But for something like this, i’d go cheaper. don’t think it’ll make much a difference.

Excellent 👏👏👏
thanks!
Would you recommend this for a complete beginner (50+ years old) ?
Yes!
LEFT-HANDED???? Just wondering. I couldn’t find any left handed options anywhere
As we say in the gun community, "Become right-handed."
this definitely made me want to buy one even more than i already did! 😂❤
😂😂
Did you buy one and how was it?
And how is it for fingerstyle?
it’s suitable for lefty?
From Brazil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷, great, Sir. Effects used in this vídeos, please?
Can I use electric guitar strings on it?
Is this the maple or mahogany version?
how do you mount it?
You can make it sound even better with an IR.
Does this make any noise at all when not plugged in? I'm confused about whether it's quiet versus silent.

hi brother nice video, i have one question, what about the strings? can i put nylon strings?
Honestly, I do not think so!
Strings easy to change ??
yes 🙌
does it have bluetooth?
please share your effects pedal did you use..ty subs
Thanks for the support! The only thing I used were Amp sims from Logic Pro!
Is this mahogany?

I just got one and it is NOT easy to play. The action is a mile high. Come clean, how much set up work did you have to do on yours?
didn’t set it up at all actually. could be something wrong with urs or you could just set it up back to normal. if it’s a huge deal for ya, take it back
In the specs....... I imagine its a piezo pickup
yes sorry forgot to mention it!
The silent part makes no sence because an electric guitar is as silent as it can be . This is only for traveling purposes

You always need a batt to use it 😪
Achtung! Donner hält sich nicht an das deutsche Widerrufsrecht! Einfach mal nach „Donnerde Erfahrungen“ googlen. Nicht empfohlen!!!
