The "active" switch does NOT make the pickups active or passive!, that's just for the headphone amp, you can't make a passive pickup become active unless it has a preamp which this one does NOT have, the electronics are for the headphone amp ONLY, you can even take out the battery and the pickups will sound the SAME!, also, they need to make one with a floating tremolo and better access to higher frets, 24 frets too, also put the truss road adjustment on the end of the neck as there's space for a Humbucker or single coil in the actual neck position, also, the electronics are useless and fragile, you can't modify the volume or switch pots as all is connected to a fragile PCB that takes a lot of space and is just for a headphone amp, that is not needed, many people nowadays have a headphone amp lie the Mustang Micro, Katana Go or Nux MP3, so better use that space for better electronics that are easily modified with regular pots

I see you know a lot about this guitar. By any chance do you know why it goes out of tune? I have to retune it every day... Should I try changing the strings?

@@blackj2121 It goes out of tune because of multiple build defects, look here in youtube a very detailed video about this called "Donner Hush-X review" by the channel "musical dirty tricks"

Great video! I like how you kept it short and straight to the point. As for the guitar I like the form factor and it looks like good quality. Cleans sound alright although a bit muted, but the distortion is horrendous. Then again I don't think that's what the guitar is designed to do, it's obviously meant to be played with headphones. As a travel guitar it's decent, but that's all it is.

Thanks!! I think the distortion pedals sound pretty good, but I suspect the sound may not be as smooth as other guitars bc the pickups may have been wounded hotter than normal. I think I read it’s common in more budget pickups

Hi Phillip will Donner Company release a new version of Donner Hush electric guitar?

@philip andrew - can this still be played like acoustic (without the aid of an amp). like the one from donner hush-I?

thanky my friend but can you play this minus the metal guitar things

do you mean the metal guitar parts that assemble into the wood piece? The guitar is still functional without it
