  • Most excellent demo. Tasty moderate playing allowed me to hear the tone properly with each setting. Well articulated. We're not worthy! My Hush-X is soon to arrive!

  • Thank you for the nice demo. I have the habit of resting my pinky on the guitar. Does anyone think that this guitar, given the limited wood area, would be comfortable for players with that habit?

  • excellent stuff, thank you. re frets, that fitting might be awkward when re-fretting? not 100%. did you try adjusting saddles/truss? just to make sure they work as expected? enjoyed this, off to Amazon :)[edit] forgot to say. what about strings? what gauge in-box and restring as per a Steinberger Spirit?

  • DON'T BUY THIS unless you want to risk a world of pain. Bought one and the pickup selector broke after a month. Donner's customer service is non-existent. No telephone number and they ignore all emails. BEWARE!

  • 這真的很方便!只是我不太了解無頭琴的弦裝法和調法!如果吉他能輕量化搬家時就簡便多了

  • Hi Nick,
    Great review and absolutely love your playing chops! Your review swayed me to purchase this guitar. I like everything about the guitar except the string action. Despite making adjustments to the trussrod for proper neck relief and lowering the bridge saddles where they're touching the bridge, the lowest string height that I'm able to get at the low "E" string is 2mm at the 12th fret. Was this the case with the guitar you demoed?

  • I'm loving this guitar. Great ergonomics and the neck feels great. No issues setting the action and string changes are a breeze. And not sure what a couple people mentioned about trouble accessing upper frets. Easy to play all the way up. I bought this as a travel guitar and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites.

  • Looks like it may be hard to get to the high frets, apart from that it seems great. I'll have to check out some more reviews and try to find out more about the high fret access. Thanks.

  • Shame they didn't do headstock truss rod access so the single coil could actually be a neck pickup.

  • Very cool mate, found you through checking out the Hush-x as been looking at one and heard they comfortable and good pick ups. As an older ex soldier now medically discharged and veterans pension in Australia. I think you may of one me as my first headless. Big guitar nut grew up having advantage of Dad that sang and played guitar in old school rock band. When you could have 4-5 piece band at pubs to clubs. Before everyone became soooo sensitive to times mid volume band. Yet taught to appreciate all music and never say you hate this and that without giving it a record or two. Which pasted on to my kids and even military. From instrumental and classical to old blues to electric to some my favourites at times Viking heavy metal. Just not a fan of single person no band stage of smoke and 20 dancers to take you away from there is no band. Once I was pretty peak fitness. Yet cartwheels swings and sing in tune. Come on what’s gone wrong. Great playing was there many effects post. Gather no SG GiB nose diving lol. Love you gave us cleans via volume and the amp choices. Subscriber from now on. Made me think how there 355 semi feels and sounds. Neck is it c or D. Love a soft v from someone.

  • Hello Nick, I have a few questions about this guitar. What is the neck profile (C, U, D, etc)? Can you provide measurements for the neck depth/thickness at the 1st and 12th frets? Thank you!
