Review: Donner Hush C Travel Guitar

For silent practice and travel, I decided to purchase the Donner Hush C Nylon Electro-acoustic guitar from Amazon. This guitar can be easily disassembled, fit into a minimal, thin travel case, and be brought with me on flights. It has a built-in headphone amp, powered by a removable 9V battery.


According to Donner:

  • 【Comfort & Versatility for All Players】With a 46mm nut width, C-shaped neck, and smooth satin finish, the HUSH-C Nylon Acoustic Electric Classical Guitar offers fast, fatigue-free play for both beginners and pros. Rounded fret ends ensure comfort with every chord.
  • 【Ultra-Portable & Travel-Ready】Weighing only 2.0kg with a headless, compact design, the HUSH-C Nylon Acoustic Electric Classical Guitar fits in a backpack for music on the go. Perfect for travel, commutes, or quiet jam sessions—just plug in your headphones and play anywhere.
  • 【Multi-functional for Effortless Performance】Keep your HUSH-C Nylon Acoustic Electric Guitar perfectly tuned with the built-in tuner and low-battery alert. The HPS-II system offers 2-band EQ and volume control, while the AUX input and hidden hex wrench make practice and setup effortless.
  • 【Practice with Headphones, Natural Classic Sound】The HUSH Custom Piezo and HPS-II system deliver natural nylon-string sound with zero feedback. Play silently through headphones or plug in for crystal-clear stage tone—ideal for both quiet practice and live performance.
  • 【Premium Craftsmanship Meets Modern Aesthetics】Crafted from okoume wood, with a neck-through design and a carbon-fiber-reinforced neck, the HUSH-C Nylon Acoustic Electric Guitar delivers rich resonance and lasting stability. A natural bone nut, abalone inlays, and tool-free roller truss rod add pro-level tone and convenience.
  • 【Nylon String Tip】New nylon strings may go out of tune during the first few days as they naturally stretch — this is entirely normal. Gentle daily stretching for about three days can help them stabilize and improve tuning consistency.

Donner Hush C Review

Positives

  • Extremely portable, with removable pieces that make it very easy to take on an airplane
  • Built-in tuner
  • Built-in headphone amplifier for quick connection to headphones
  • Reasonable price ($275 during Black Friday)
  • Output to an external amp
  • A variety of practical accessories are included, including a nice case, earbuds, and straps.

Negatives

  • Uncomfortable to hold and play in Classical guitar position
  • The sound does not match a fine nylon Classical guitar (brittle sound)
  • The built-in tuner is not very precise
I decided to return my Donner Hush C because it was uncomfortable to hold and play. In addition, the sound did not impress me.
