Donner has introduced the HUSH C Nylon-string Electric Acoustic Guitar, the newest member of its renowned HUSH series. This instrument blends the traditional tonal qualities of classical nylon-string guitars with a modern design. It boasts a C-shaped neck, .028-.043 gauge nylon strings, and Donner’s latest HPS-II preamp system, which includes a two-band EQ, a built-in tuner and various connectives.
Being the latest addition to the HUSH Line up, the HUSH™ C has kept the sleek and modern design of the HUSH series by incorporating a neck-through construction, quick-release metal body frames, and rounded frets—all designed for optimal comfort, improved playability. Crafted with an Okoume body and HPL fingerboard, the HUSH C features dual carbon fiber rods in the neck. Equipped with the HUSH Custom Piezo pickup system and Donner’s second-generation HPS preamp, it delivers precise dynamic response while faithfully reproducing the subtle nuances and warm resonance of nylon strings.
“The most exciting part of the HUSH C for me is its new headless design, distinct from any previous models in the HUSH series,” said Huang Bailin, Product Manager of Donner Guitar Department. “The redesigned ‘headless headstock’ cleverly conceals complex hardware, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Andadditionally, the truss rod wheel we previously used on the HUSH X Pro also allows for convenient neck adjustments on this acoustic model, delivering an exceptional new playing experience.”
The Ultimate Nylon-Electric Harmony
The HUSH C guitar captures the core tonal essence of classical nylon guitars. Its HUSH Custom Piezo pickup and Donner HPS-II preamp faithfully reproduce the delicate warmth and natural articulation of nylon strings—whether for gentle fingerstyle or dynamic strumming. Even through headphones, the instrument retains exceptional clarity and tonal depth, making it ideal for silent practice at night or in quiet environments without compromising sound quality.
Shipped with premium custom-gauge (.028–.043) nylon strings, the HUSH C offers comfortable tension while ensuring stable, balanced tonality. The 46mm nut width preserves an authentic classical feel without excessive bulk, catering to both beginners and advanced players. Combined with a C-shaped neck, 648mm scale length, and 400mm radius fingerboard, this design enables effortless transitions across all positions—perfect for both chordal work and intricate fingerstyle performances.
Enhanced Functionality & Sustained Portability in the HUSH Series
Weighing just 2.0kg—approximately half the weight of traditional guitars—the HUSH C leverages its headless structure and quick-release frame system for effortless transportation.
New practical features include:
- An integrated tuner with clear note display and low-battery indicator
- Roller-type truss rod adjustment at the heel for quick setup
- A discreet magnetic hex wrench holder for easy maintenance access
Versatile Audio Connectivity for Various Applications
