Donner Music proudly introduces the HUSH-X - a groundbreaking new travel guitar that redefines what a portable instrument can be. The HUSH-X delivers the sound, feel and performance of a full-scale solid-body electric in an ultra-compact, travel-friendly design. While able to be packed into a compact carrying case resembling a pool cue bag, the HUSH-X is a full-scale instrument that plays and sounds like a traditional solid body electric guitar. Crafted from resonant mahogany, the HUSH-X features a one-piece neck-through-body design and lightweight removable metal frames that clamp on to provide a leg rest and armrest. This innovative configuration allows the guitar to be quickly assembled and disassembled for effortless travel. But the HUSH-X is far more than just a travel companion. It's a true performer's instrument, equipped with premium components: 25.5" scale length 22 medium frets on an HPL (high-pressure laminate) fingerboard with 403mm radius High-output humbucker (bridge) and Alnico V single-coil (neck) pickups Six-saddle fixed bridge with built-in thumbscrew tuners Concentric master volume/tone knob with passive/active switch 1/8" aux input and headphone output for silent practice Weighing under 5 lbs, the HUSH-X is supremely comfortable and balanced. Yet it delivers bold, dynamic tones that rival conventional solid bodies. The humbucker provides classic rock growl while the single-coil offers glassy Strat-like voices perfect for blues, funk, and more. Experience the freedom of taking your guitar anywhere without compromise. Unleash your music with the HUSH-X.

A change from mesh to rubber for kick also offers a solid and authentic feedback.
