Still Debating with Myself Between the Hush X and the Leego Headless Guitar so I Made a Side-by-Side Comparison

Arghhh!

Why did Leego Headless Guitar have to appear in my radar so near to 2026 when I’ve already made up my mind about the Donner Hush X?

Sheesh…

I’ve been tossing and turning in bed… er… on the couch… for weeks now dreaming about the two. No, dreaming about the Leego Headless guitar and wondering if it’s worth turning my back on the well-established Donner brand and taking a gamble on the lesser-known Leego brand…

Because I’m such a nerd… I made a side-by-side comparison
