Donner HUSH-X Electric Guitar Kit - Featherlight Headless Guitar, Great for Travel and Practice, Mahogany Solid Body with Easy Assemble Stands, Gig Bag, All Accessories, Sunburst

Excellent guitar for the price especially with all the accessories that come with it. Good quality guitar, well made and well finished. Looks and sounds great. Definitely recommend for a beginner as you get everything you need to get you up and running in the package.

Having played a bit with a ukulele over the past three years, I wanted something with a wider range of sounds and decided to try an electric guitar, although I have not even played an acoustic guitar previously. But what to buy?My thanks go to YouTube and GCH Guitar Academy whose reviews on the Donner DST-100 and DST-152 convinced me that the Donner beginner’s package would be a sound choice. My thanks also to Woodsnstrings whose comparison tests of the three Donner models persuaded me that the mid-range DST-152 was the one to go for, and that was finally decided when Amazon knocked a further £25 off the asking price. So I committed.I was pleased to find that the guitar arrived in a box that was well protected against damage to each end and that the guitar was also packed within its padded gig bag. With the bag unzipped, it lay gleaming ice-blue waiting to be picked up and examined and no damage found. In fact the overall finish is as good as suggested by the reviews. I was a little surprised how heavy it is but, of course, it’s all solid wood.With the added confidence from Gear4music Guitars YouTube advice on setting up an electric guitar, I was able to tune it up, plug it into the amplifier and hear the first real sounds.The amplifier isn’t brilliant but perfectly good for learning at home. Soon I was twiddling all the knobs to explore its range and find the sounds that I prefer. I even removed a spring from behind the rear cover to give some flexibility to the whammy bar and eased the neck to lose a bit of fret buzz. I could never have done this without guidance from the You Tube subscribers and I recommend anyone else contemplating such a purchase to also do their homework first.I cannot comment on behalf of experienced players but I am really happy. It looks good and it sounds good. I think it was the right buy and now it’s up to me to get all the notes in the right order!

The Good.The overall quality and finish, is top notch. It's an attractive guitar.It's lightweight and is a perfect guitar to travel with, and to practice upon.The pickups sound great, the electronics are quiet, and the earphones supplied are of a good quality. The headphones are quite useful (for those of us who want to confine our awful playing and many mistakes to our own heads...).The supplied case offers good protection and has plenty of space for stashing your guitar nick-nacks in, - polishing cloth, allen keys, plectrums, spare strings, jelly babies, etc.The "Mmmm, OK then..."As another reviewer has pointed out, the guitar comes "as is" and MUST be set up correctly by someone with experience. I too, found that the truss rod had very little tension on it, & the guitars action was all over the place. Similarily, the bridge was unadjusted and needed attention.As this is something you'd have to do with any factory fresh instrument, it's neither a plus or a minus.The Bad.The Bottom "support" is wobbly, wobbly, WOBBLY... It works, ..it stays in.., but that slight wobble is incredibly annoying. Future iterations of this guitar should redesign this support, preferably with a second point of contact to the guitars body, similar to the top piece.Also... the strap support is in such a bad place, that the guitar hangs really awkwardly, and tips forward so the front of the guitar is at a 45 degree angle and facing the floor. It needs moving, ...desperately.I bought this guitar with a specific purpose in mind, - I wanted a dedicated, midi capable, guitar, and this suits that purpose well. I have opted for the Tripleplay connect system and fitted the midi pick up between the bridge and the first pickup. I'm happy with the results, and despite the problems with the bottom support and awkward positioning of the strap. I will probably opt to use the guitar without the two shaped "supports", both because I find it more aesthetically pleasing, and because of that aforementioned wobble that so annoys me.Overall, I will, (hopefully..), be happy with the guitar itself, once its action and set up have been completed.

Really fun and easy to play. Nice quality guitar for a decent price. Guitar teacher is impressed. Ideal for me who’s been having lessons now for the last year. The mini amps tiny but fun. Hoping to encourage my lad to keep up with his playing…

The sound is brilliant, the guitar is very good quality, and the price is unbelievable.My guitar teacher tried this instrument, and he agreed it could replace almost any guitar he had at a fraction of the cost.It's well-balanced and not top-heavy, so it sits nicely while playing. It stays in tune and is very easy to tune.Great, buy, try one. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Many guitar starter packs on the market and many are not great. But not the experience with this product. Was genuinely surprised by the build and finish on the guitar. The frets do not buzz and the neck feel great in hand. Even when not plugged in sounds clear.A real cherry on top was the small but impressive amp, definitely can go loud enough to annoy the neighbours. And the built in distortion works well allowing you to play anything from pop, to death metal. The Bluetooth allows you to play along with your favourite songs and the 3.5mm headphone port means late night rocking to!Definitely worth getting this is a brand that cares about there products definitely will be getting a few more of there guitars in the future.

I Love this guitar

Brilliant design, sound and compatibility as well as very light in weight to carry on your shoulder but came with a broken string and no allen key tool to detach the string for me to replace it.
