DONNER HUSH-I EVO 2: Redefining the Silent Travel Guitar

The evolution of portability meets professional-grade performance.

Since its debut in 2022, the HUSH-I has transformed the way musicians create, travel, and practice—becoming the cornerstone of the HUSH series. Today, Donner Music is proud to unveil its most significant evolution yet: the HUSH-I EVO 2 Acoustic Silent Guitar. Four years after the original model first redefined portable instrumentation, the EVO 2 arrives as a masterwork of material science, acoustic engineering, and refined craftsmanship.

From Innovation to Perfection

The original HUSH-I changed everything. Its minimalist silhouette, detachable frame system, and silent practice capabilities liberated players from the constraints of traditional acoustics. The HUSH-I EVO 2 honors that legacy while delivering a quantum leap forward in every measurable dimension—materials, construction, tonal authenticity, and intuitive control.

Retaining the DNA that made the HUSH series iconic—including rounded fret ends, 628mm scale length, headless design, and headphone-ready output—the EVO 2 introduces a new standard of professional refinement. Every element has been reimagined for the discerning player who demands uncompromising quality from a travel instrument.

Engineering Excellence: The 7-Piece Neck-Through Construction

At the heart of the HUSH-I EVO 2 lies a revolutionary 7-piece neck-through body design with 5-piece laminated neck construction. Available in Canadian Hard Maple or African Mahogany, this advanced architecture delivers:

• Superior Structural Integrity: Multi-laminate engineering resists warping and maintains tuning stability across all climates and humidity levels

• Enhanced Vibration Transfer: The continuous neck-through design optimizes energy transmission from strings to electronics

• Exceptional Comfort: The slim "Soft C" profile with 400mmR fingerboard radius ensures effortless playability during extended sessions

A natural bone nut elevates the instrument's fundamental voice, delivering warmth and resonance that synthetic materials cannot replicate.

Next-Generation Sound: The HPS-II System

The HUSH-I EVO 2 debuts an evolved pickup system derived from our flagship HUSH PRO series. The Donner Lab piezo pickup, meticulously paired with the newly voiced HPS-II preamplifier, represents a breakthrough in silent guitar tone:

• Dynamic Responsiveness: Instant articulation captures every nuance from whisper-quiet fingerpicking to aggressive strumming

• Natural Acoustic Character: Advanced signal processing preserves the airy resonance and dimensional presence of a full-size acoustic

• Expressive Fidelity: Your technique, your emotion—transmitted with absolute transparency to headphones, amplifiers, or recording interfaces

Designed for the Journey: Tool-Free Innovation

The HUSH-I EVO 2 introduces a completely redesigned frame attachment system. New hand-tightened thumb screws enable:

• Instant Assembly: Secure the ergonomic support frames in seconds—no tools, no frustration

• Effortless Transport: Break down just as quickly when it's time to move

• Rock-Solid Stability: Precision-engineered connections eliminate play or wobble during performance

Built-In Intelligence

We've equipped the EVO 2 with thoughtful features that anticipate a player's needs:

• Integrated Chromatic Tuner: High-precision tuning at your fingertips, always ready

• Low-Battery Indicator: Never be surprised by power loss during a session or performance

• Magnetic Tool Compartment: The included T-wrench stores securely within the instrument—always there when you need it

Premium Durability, Silent Practice

The new three-layer ABS binding serves dual purposes: impact resistance for life on the road, and a refined aesthetic that signals professional intent. When the world demands quiet, the 3.5mm headphone output delivers the full HUSH-I EVO 2 experience to your ears alone. The 9V battery system, complete with low-power alert, ensures your instrument is ready whenever inspiration strikes.
