I probably wouldn't like either one of these. A baby Taylor was as close as I ever got to a travel guitar. Basically, I just never had much use for a travel guitar (an instrument that can be stowed in an overhead bin).

I have a GS Mini that goes on vacations with us. I have never taken it on a plane, though. It gets tossed in the car with all the rest of the stuff. I think I may sell it, though. It’s koa and it does sound pretty nice but I want to eliminate some stuff. It and the Cordoba nylon will probably go.

Basically, I just never had much use for a travel guitar (an instrument that can be stowed in an overhead bin). It helps if you think of it as an entirely different instrument. Or get an entirely different instrument, like a uke, mandolin, mandola, etc. Not like you need any more instruments to master

I like my GS-mini. It plays quite fine. If the Enya is comparable, then it’d be nice to have a CF guitar I like.
Of course I have a RainSong and it’s OK. And buying the Enya is risk free, so what the heck.

I have no trouble taking a 000 in a nylon Gator case and slipping it in the overhead of any plane with 6 across seats.

They seem to be a lot more expensive than the Donner. The web site says you can get nylon or steel string, and specify scale and nut width.

Oh my that is attractive, and I'm being totally serious. Yes, I am strange.

I just watched the video: www.moovguitars.com/I was anticipating a second part where they added a scope, barrel and silencer. Perhaps I have been watching too many espionage movies.

I briefly just plugged the Enya X3 Pro Mini into my amp was pleasantly surprised at how decent the piezo pickup sounded. A little edgy but very clear and full, especially for a little plastic guitar. And when I tried one of the native piezo IRs on my NUX Optima Air pedal, it sounded VERY good. So much so, that I don't think I'll even consider messing with it. This thing sounds quite excellent out of the box (with the NUX help). I would plug this in most anywhere and be quite happy.
Of course I'd have to try it live somewhere to be totally convinced (am I ever ?), but I'm pleasantly surprised. (I said that already)

OK. So I just popped for the newer Donner Hush-I Pro. It intrigues me. It has a built in IR processor, so the piezo (ideally) can be tamed. It's an Amazon purchase, so if I don't like it, it goes right back.

And today the Donner showed up Along with other stuff. Including the sticky backed sand paper. And a guitar strap that popped up on my Amazon feed. Pretty cool and only $9. - Why not? So far the jury is out on the Donner. The thing is surprisingly heavy. I'm not sure about the neck profile. They say it's unsymmetrical on purpose. But what I notice is there's a "shoulder" on the bass side that I'm not sure I'm going to like comfort-wise. I suppose I could take a file and sand paper and reshape it a little. - But that's for later if I keep it. The ergonomics (other than the shoulder) is good. Plays well. I haven't plugged it in yet. That'll be in a couple days. Could be fun. Could be junk. But so far so good.

I think I'm going to keep it. The menus and FX are complicated. And there are ergo issues: The shoulder on the neck; the bass string to fretboard edge is too far for comfy thumb-overs. But I can probably work with those. But first off, the piezo through my NUX IR pedal is a very workable sound. So, I can play around with the Donner FX without having to worry about getting something I can use.
It's kinda cute.

And I might just get a print of a "soundhole" and sticky it on the blank body of the Donner.
