Donner 39 Inch Electric Guitar, Designer Series DST-200 Stylish Solid Body Electric Guitar for Beginner Intermediate & Pro Players, Single Coil Split System, Bonus Bag, Cable, Strap

Have played acoustic for 50 years, and decided finally to expand to electric as I have more time for practice. Looked at a lot of video reviews, before settling on this Donner in pink. Not disappointed, came well set up, action good for me, comfortable neck, nice fretboard and frets. Good range of tones from pickups, from very clean to suitably grungy. Machine heads accurate and responsive. At the price, really good value for money and very playable. Won’t turn you into Clapton overnight, but I think suitable for a range of players from beginners to more experienced players. Loving the challenges of learning to apply new techniques. Well done Donner!

We had originally got our daughter the Donner DTC-100 but as much as it was a beautiful well built guitar it was very basic with the limited features, especially no whammy bar connection so we returned that and got this guitar the DST-200 now what a guitar, I’d say just as good as a Fender Stratocaster and so beautiful in gloss black with the red marble look pluck guard, well balanced and so many features including whammy bar and also humbucker, our daughter is in love with it and plays it as much as she can (when I’m not stealing a shot of it lol). Needed a wee bit of adjustment but not much and would say it was tuned prior to receiving so that was nice too. The strap is even 10x better than the DTC-100 and comfortable. Highly recommend this guitar for beginners, intermediate right up to experts this guitar will blow your socks off, simply AMAZING!

My first dislike was the very poor or should i say unprotected box it was sent in. double boxing a guitar so that it arrives undamaged is a must! Amazon are still sending them out within only one unprotected box, which to me is not acceptable. If the guitar had not been in a gig bag it would have been badly damaged, the box had two large holes in the back. Second and my main gripe that as supplied it was almost unplayable, the trem was screwed so tight to the body that it was impossible to move it without apply excessive pressure to the trem arm, so it was useless as a trem, the high action was like a wedge of cheese! Clearly these guitars are not sutable for beginners that don't know how to setup a guitar. At the price i paid i expected to have to do some setup work, but why fit a trem bridge and screw it tight against the body?. Some fret ends are sharp, so they will need attention. My advice, is that if you buy it for a beginner make sure you budget for a full setup, without it no beginner will thank you for it. You get what you pay for at this end of the market, please pay a bit more and and buy a better guitar from a store than can do a full setup. For an experienced player, it will be fine after some upgrades and full setup Recommended with caution.

Great looking and well designed and easy too play. It looks the business and also looks like it costs thousands. Received it in a Guitar box and it was in a gig bag it was well protected and it was packed with protection foam and the the strings were tissue rapped full stars for the packaging. Been playing Guitar and other instruments since a very young lad now over 70 years with my own pop group in the 60’s and early 70’s I recommend this guitar for a advanced beginners and the professionals. Very pleased with the purchase and fast delivery.

Great product. very happy. To start with bonus items that came with it are (3): cable, strap & the case bag which is different from what's on description/pictures. Also, bought seperatly "Donner's headphone amp" which works great with it; Used "free tuner app" to tune it up. Now, it is ready to play. Last thing to mention, the outer cardboard box it came in was damaged but since it was well packaged inside - it saved the guitar so well done whoever packed it, very impressive; I could see there was a lot of care put into the packaging. As well as, bonus items of high quality! Thank you for an amazing instrument! I look forward to playing it! Highly recommend!

We bought this electric guitar at the insistence of our eldest boy for his birthday, he has an acoustic but wanted to go electric, he's really happy with the guitar, the sound he gets out of it, and we love hearing him play. It's a good quality guitar, well constructed and sounds great.

Great guitar especially for the price great for players of all levels definitely worth a buy if you want a well built guitar for a great price

Loved the guitar, all the usual problems with a new guitar, buzzing frets etc. But all are good now after some use. The only downside is, absolutely no instructions with the guitar, otherwise perfect for beginners or medium experience.

Boa relação preço e construção .

Por este precio ¿Que vas a pedir? Toda la guitarra bien, salvo por un problema...los trastes. Te puedes meter un buen corte con ellos si no tienes cuidado y eres un novato con el tema de las guitarras. Es la primera vez que me encuentro con este problema con una guitarra. Tendré que intentar pulirlos o llevarlo a un luthier. Del resto no tengo queja. Suena maravillosamente bien. Quería algo que sonara al Fender clásico, chillón...y esta guitarra me lo da, pero es que ademas, tengo la opción de convertir el hambucker en pastilla simple. Me ha costado 99 euros. Un chollo. Afinación también perfecta. El puente parece duro. Aun no lo he usado, pero no tiene pinta de desafinarse. Con su funda. El diseño, va por gustos, pero a mi me encanta. Los potes duros, pero también cumplen. No entiendo como puede ser que tenga el problema de los trastes (teniendo en cuenta la calidad del resto de acabados)

Satisfied with my purchase compared to squier affinity that i received. It has no sharp fret edge and fret buzz. Low action also.

Perfect deal, good quality

I’ve owned and consistently played the DST200 for 7 months now and comparing it to my 5 Squier Affinitys and 2 Bullets (Teles and Starts) purchased over the past 6/7 years from Amazon because these guitars are in the same price and quality categories and I’ve had adequate time to make a fair opinion. Over all it’s a great guitar and surpasses a Squire Bullet but falls short of the Affinity line which was my unreasonable expectation considering the $70 difference. It probably falls the middle of a Bullet and Affinity but I would chose the DST200 over a Bullet or Sonic due to the over all feel, primarily the body wood which I think contributes to the overall tone, an idea debated in some circles (the tone wood conspiracy lol). I’ll try not to repeat what’s all ready been said so my points are it really is a good feeling guitar to play, kind of thin but setups and inotates very well contributing the overall tuning. The black finish is professional and top notch! The electronics sound great and the additional splitting humbucker is useful. Some players don’t prefer the ceramic pickups but they sounded good to my ears lending to all the classic Fender tones in all 5 switch positions with the added push/pull switch for the bridge humbucker (a nice competitive idea from Donner). The plastic nut was cut perfectly and the original Donner tremolo is good and compatible to a stock Squier vintage type. The frets are smaller in diameter compared to the larger fender/squier which could make or break a player’s opinion but I’ve accepted it (still like jumbos for the feel and longevity). Now swapping out parts could be a problem, I’m always modding and found that some of my numerous loaded pickguards didn’t fit resulting in drilling extra holes for the 11 screws, the horn portion didn’t exactly line up and the tremolo template was slightly off and required some shaving. I swapped out the stock tremolo for a fender gold vintage and it was a perfect fit. The body is the same size of an Affinity meaning it’s smaller than the standard Fender Strat. When I replaced the stock tuning machines with gold vintage F-hole Fenders I found the holes had been reverted back to a smaller diameter with plugs then redrilled for smaller holes as if Donner was using larger tuners at one time. These “plugs” popped out when I tried to replace the original retainer rings so I had to tap them back in and repair the cracks and splits with wood filler, sanding and a repaint which brings me to an inconsistentancy, in the stock pictures the headstock is shown painted black but mine was a natural finish. I just painted mine with black lacquer and buffed to a professional shine. I also swapped out the pups and pots for some better alnico brand and rewired the split humbucker switch to go series/parallel (personal preference) and I stayed with original Donner pickguard as others didn’t exactly fit. I also kept the cheap import 5 way switch but will swap it eventually as the cheapies get scratchy over time and using. I replaced the stock boat input plate and jack with Fender and found a slight difference in size but nothing significant I’ve also replaced the plastic nut with a high quality precut bone, this is new territory to me as further adjustments are needed like recutting slots due to string buzz and intonation problems but it was a perfect fit in the slot (found an exact replacement on Amazon with the same measurements. This is important!!) I also sanded down the clear satin finish on the back of the neck with some expensive nitrocellulose amber colored lacquer, personal preference. I don’t usually review products but I’m passionate about guitars in general and hope these details are beneficial to anyone. Play, mod and learn!
