Introducing teh Hush-X Pro: The Ultimate Travel Guitar Redefined
NAMM 2025: Donner has unveiled the hush-X Pro, an advanced iteration of it’s popular travel guitar, the Hush-X. This new model enhances the original with innovative guitar and amplifier modeling, integrated effects, and compatibility with third-party impulse responses, all accessible through the guitar’s built-in electronics.
Portability Meets Innovation
Unlike many contemporary travel guitars that prioritize foldability, the Hush-X Pro offers a different approach. While brands like Mogabi and Ciari Guitars have introduced foldable designs that resemble high-tech gadgets, Donner opts for a more traditional guitar shape. The Hush series features a sleek body complemented by a newly designed detachable frame, transforming its headless design into a more conventional silhouette, reminiscent of Strandberg guitars, while still being compact enough to fit into a small bag.
Lightweight Design with Premium Features
Launched in 2023, the original Donner Hush-X is a lightweight headless electric guitar featuring a neck-through construction and Alnico V pickups. It has quickly become a favorite among travelers seeking quality without breaking the bank. The hush-X Pro builds on this foundation, enhancing its most beloved attributes while introducing exciting new features.
Craftsmanship and Versatility
Maintaining the high standards of its predecessor, the Hush-X Pro is constructed from mahogany and offers two fingerboard options: premium roasted maple for the white models and high-density engineered wood for the Black models. Both configurations feature 22 stainless steel frets, ensuring durability and playability.
The guitar’s neck-through design boasts a comfortable C-profile, equipped with Donner Lab Alnico V pickups, including a humbucker at the bridge and a single coil at the neck.
Advanced Features for Modern Musicians
Understanding that many musicians prefer to travel light, Donner has equipped the Hush-X Pro with a variety of built-in features. It offers four electric and three acoustic guitar tones, along with an array of effects, all accessible through the guitar’s onboard computer.
The thorough effects suite includes overdrive, amp simulation, reverb, delay, modulation effects (such as chorus, flanger, tremolo, autowah, and phaser), and an equalizer. Musicians can save up to 18 presets and load 10 third-party impulse responses together, providing a wealth of sonic options.
Targeting contemporary players, the Hush-X Pro features amp modeling that emulates classic tube amplifiers and cabinets, delivering a wide range of tonal possibilities at the fingertips of any guitarist.
With a user-friendly interface, navigating the guitar’s settings, tones, and effects is straightforward, thanks to a single-knob control for its OLED display. The guitar is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery via USB-C, and a built-in tuner adds to its convenience.

For those who prefer to incorporate pedalboards, a return loop is also available. Donner aims to offer “endless possibilities for modern setups,” making this guitar a versatile choice for any musician.
