Labor Day Guitar Deals in 2026

The Donner VIVA Stringless Smart Guitar is the head-turner of the lineup: a stringless smart-guitar design with no traditional strings at all. It’s a new arrival in Donner’s electric guitar range, and it’s the pick for players who want to explore a completely different way of playing.

For a first electric that covers a lot of tonal ground, the Donner DST-152 HSS with Coil Split Electric Guitar Kit starts with an HSS pickup layout and a push-pull coil split for humbucker and single-coil tones. A 5-way pickup selector works the range, the poplar solid body with a satin-finished maple neck keeps it comfortable, and the complete kit includes an amplifier, gig bag, capo, strap, strings, tuner, cable, and picks.

The Donner HUSH X LIVE Guitar is the travel electric with its own voice in the room: a quick-install detachable speaker module lets you play without an amp. The neck-through body comes from 7-piece African mahogany, the H-S pickup pair blends single-coil brightness with humbucker thickness, and 5 built-in amp models plus delay, reverb, modulation, and noise-gate effects cover the tone. Bluetooth connectivity handles backing-track playback.

A portable electric with a full effects rig inside is the Donner HUSH X PRO Electric Guitar’s whole pitch. Neck-through mahogany construction and 22 stainless-steel frets keep it solid and smooth, the DXP effects system adds guitar-model simulation, amp modeling, and IR import, and custom Donner Alnico V pickups with a 3-way toggle switch shape the voice. Bluetooth and USB-C with multiple output ports handle modern setups, and a deluxe travel gig bag, earphones, strap, picks, and cables are included.

The Donner HLX-500 Headless Electric Guitar is built for rock and metal players who want a headless design that plays like a full-scale instrument. The 25.5-inch-scale solid body carries 24 nickel-silver-alloy frets, an SSH pickup configuration with 3-position switching spans the tones, and the progressive asymmetrical neck with a 12-inch-radius rosewood fretboard keeps runs comfortable. The Donner headless bridge tuner system with locking design holds tuning, and the HLX-500 custom gig bag, strap, and pick are included.

For a travel acoustic-electric that brings its own effects, the Donner HUSH I PRO Acoustic-Electric Travel Guitar is the upgrade. Detachable metal body frames and a neck-through 5-piece mahogany/maple build keep it light at 2.2 kg, the DONNER H1 preamp adds 18 built-in effects, 8 body-shape simulations, and 20 IR slots, and a 5-band EQ with Air Boost and Tone Boost shapes the tone. Bluetooth audio input and USB-C OTG output cover play-along and recording, and the 8-hour rechargeable battery plus deluxe travel gig bag and earphones round it out.

Nylon strings in a travel-sized guitar is the Donner HUSH C Nylon Acoustic-Electric Guitar’s thing — soft on the fingers and easy to take anywhere. The headless body with a removable frame and neck-through carbon-fiber-reinforced construction keeps it light at 2.0 kg, the custom piezo pickup with the DONNER HPS-II preamp and 2-band EQ shapes the amplified tone, and a built-in tuner with low-battery alert keeps practice simple. Headphone output and AUX input handle quiet practice, and a gig bag, headphones, strap, and pick are included.

The Donner HUSH I EVO2 Travel Guitar is the upgraded silent travel pick: tool-free assembly, a hidden magnetic T-wrench, and a headphone output that makes quiet practice the whole point. The removable body frames and 5-piece maple/mahogany neck with HPL fretboard and 3-layer binding keep it light, the upgraded HPS-II preamp with a custom undersaddle piezo pickup shapes the plugged-in tone, and the built-in chromatic tuner handles tuning. It runs on 9V battery power for silent practice anywhere.
