Donner recently expanded its HUSH lineup of headless electric guitars with the new HUSH-X Pro electric guitar. Similar to other models in the HUSH lineup, the HUSH-X Pro is crafted from mahogany and features a roasted maple/HPL fretboard, a Slim C-shaped neck with rounded stainless steel frets, and a neck-through body for a comfortable playing experience.
Weighing just over 5 lbs., the ultra-light HUSH-X Pro is designed for portability with its headless design, making it easy to transport and ideal for players who travel frequently. Its 45-degree ergonomic frames provides comfort during extended playing sessions.
Navigating the HUSH-X Pro is facilitated by the one-knob control and OLED Screen, offering an intuitive user experience. The guitar’s Quick Release Brackets enable fast, secure setup and storage, streamlining performance or practice sessions. A deluxe carrying case is included, designed to fit in an airline overhead storage bin. Upgraded quick-detachable frames make installation and removal easier.
Available finishes include Knight Black and Metallic White. Fingerboard options are high-grade roasted maple (White) or high-density engineered wood (Black), with rounded stainless steel frets. Other specifications include an integrated mahogany neck-through design, a fingerboard made of roasted maple/high-density engineered wood, output ports (6.35mm, 3.5mm, USB-C), and a built-in rechargeable lithium battery.
The HUSH-X Pro has 18 preset slots, 4 electric guitar simulations, and 3 acoustic guitar simulations, making it adaptable to various playing situations. The guitar also features 10 IR slots and Donner Labs proprietary H-S Alnico V Pickups configuration.
The pickups are Donner Lab’s proprietary Alnico V humbucker (bridge) and Alnico V single-coil (neck). The 3-way pickup selector switch options are: Position 1 - Bridge, Position 2 - Bridge and neck, Position 3 - Neck. Control knobs include an effect switch, pickup selector, tone and volume knob, function control knob, edit button, tap tempo button, and Bluetooth button.
Using the HUSH-X Pro is simplified by single-touch effect switching. A comprehensive effects chain includes overdrive, amp simulation, cab simulation, reverb, delay, modulation, and EQ, allowing musicians to create and customize preset combinations. The HUSH-X Pro uses Donner’s Real Amp Modeling technology, which includes realistically simulated classic amps and cabinets.
The HUSH-X Pro supports headphone monitoring, direct/power amp connection, , Bluetooth support, and a built-in audio interface, making it suitable for modern setups.
Despite the headless design and the need in most cases to use ergonomic frames, the Donner HUSH-X Pro is easy to play both standing up and sitting down. The OLED display is high resolution and easy so see in most lighting conditions, and accessing features and onboard effects is straightforward, though on-the-fly editing capability is limited.
The guitar supports multiple output ports, headphones, OTG, amplifiers, and Bluetooth audio input. It features a built-in rechargeable battery with USB-C fast charging capability. A full charge should be sufficient for a gig or late-night practice session.
The HUSH-X Pro is highly portable with extensive functionality, effective for stage use where a guitar amplifier is not practical. The built-in audio interface makes it a convenient solution for recording and capturing musical ideas on the go.
Whether commuting, traveling, or at home, Donner’s HUSH-X Pro is a valuable asset for musicians who are frequently on the move. Its compact size allows it to fit seamlessly into travel bags or carry-ons without sacrificing sound quality.
The Donner HUSH-X Pro is available now for $469.99.
