Updating this review, after Customer Service got involved and went above and beyond to make everything right, and then some.I ordered this HUSH-I guitar and my experience was not the best, but I was offered to review the HUSH-X, which was more along the lines of what I wanted.I wasn’t expecting much after the original experience with the Hush I, but the new HUSH-X guitar really surprised me -- positively.The fit and finish of this little guitar is really top notch. It was a very pleasant experience opening the gig bag - a very nice gig bag, I might add.The devil is in the details, so I enjoyed finding that they had included a strap for the guitar, (along with one for the gig bag itself), as well as a 1/4” cable.To top it off, I noticed the little fine-tuning wrenches are well located inside of the battery compartment lid, but they also included an additional set, plus some extra saddle screws. Very nice touch. Never seen any other brand do that.The metal arms on the HUSH-X are 1000% better than on the HUSH I. They feel much more secure, and being able to mount them without the need for a tool is game-changing.As for the tone of the guitar, it plays nicely. Once I tuned it, intonation on 4 out of the 6 strings was perfect. The other two (low E and A) need some minor work, but nothing too bad. The action is a little bit high for my taste, but on this HUSH-X it should be easy enough to adjust.I was surprised to get such good resonance from this little gal. And the pickups do a good job. For those interested, it doesn't look like the pickups can be moved up and down, like on a regular Strat or Tele. These ones seem to be set at one position and they need to be kept there.The neck on this HUSH-X feels really nice but, in all fairness, the neck on the HUSH-I also felt great. And the fret work is truly spot-on. No sharp edges at all. Buttery smooth when sliding up and down the neck. And the fret ends were nicely rounded.I’m also very impressed with the tuning machines and the bridge in general.The tuning precision is really really solid. I’m still playing with it to get more familiar with the intonation on this system, but the tuning is so much more improved in this HUSH-X guitar over the HUSH-I, which needed the little wrench to turn them, and the were nowhere near as precise.I wish they offered a black version. This thing in black will look amazing!All in all, I can highly recommend the HUSH-X guitar for someone starting out, or for those people who need a small, convenient guitar to travel with. Or even if you want something light and comfortable to sit on the couch and noodle with. This is the one.

Superbe guitare. Super service. Tout au top. Accordeur, sangle, mediators, clés etc offerts avec l’instrument (c’est pas nécessairement le cas avec Fender ou Gibson). La housse est impeccable. Je voyage avec et pour cette utilisation, l’instrument est parfait. Jouabilité, sonorité, nuances de jeu et confort sont au rendez-vous. J’avais peur de me retrouver avec un gadget et c’est tout le contraire. Je vais prendre l’électrique aussi.Merci à la marque pour le service et les réponses quasi instantanées.

Guter Sound gute Verarbeitung! Für die Kohle tacko.

Custodia davvero carina. La chitarra è fatta davvero bene, solida e molto bella da vedere. Collegata anche ad ampli si sente benissimo. Manico scorrevole e comodo, accordatura facile e non si scorda facilmente. Bella chitarra da usare non solo in viaggio.

Easily assembled and tuned using the hex key provided. Very portable and light weight and the pickup & pre-amp work well. Very nice finish and, all told, an ingenious design.Only downside I've found is the 9v battery seems to drain its charge fairly quickly and is probably best removed until you wish to play the guitar.
