Donner DST-152R Electric Guitar, 39" Beginner Electric Guitar Kit, HSS Pickup with Coil Split, Guitar Starter Set with Amp, Bag, All Accessories, Metallic Ice Blue

I am absolutely thrilled with my Donner Electric Guitar, model DST-152! As a beginner guitar player, I couldn't have asked for a better instrument to kick-start my musical journey. The sleek and stylish design initially caught my eye, and upon playing it, I was blown away by its impressive sound quality. The rich, resonant tones it produces are a delight to the ears and have motivated me to practice for hours on end. The smooth fret board and comfortable neck make it easy for me to navigate through chords and scales, enhancing my learning experience. Whether I'm strumming along to my favorite songs or experimenting with new techniques, the DST-152's versatility has exceeded my expectations. It's truly a fantastic guitar that has quickly become an integral part of my musical expression. In addition to the guitar itself, I also invested in a collection of 13 Donner pedals to create a dynamic pedal board setup for my gigs. This combination has taken my performances to the next level, allowing me to explore an array of captivating sounds and effects. Each Donner pedal enhances the character of my playing, from the subtle nuances to the bold crescendos. I'm able to effortlessly switch between different tones, giving my performances a professional edge that leaves a lasting impression on the audience. With the Donner Electric Guitar and my diverse pedal board, I'm not only equipped for success as a beginner, but I'm also confidently stepping into the world of live music with a setup that's as unique and innovative as my musical aspirations. The only CON is the machine heads or tuner clicks when I am tuning my strings. The strings stay in tune but the machine heads appear to have an internal issue which I cannot fix. Suggested upgrades: *Upgraded Tuning Machines: Consider brands like Schaller, Hipshot, or Grover for high-quality locking tuners. *Pickup Upgrades: Brands like Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, and EMG offer a wide range of pickups to suit different playing styles. *Custom Pickguard and Hardware: Brands like Pickguardian, WD Custom Pickguards, and Warmoth offer custom pickguard options. For hardware, options from Allparts, Gotoh, and Fender can be considered. *Nut Replacement: TUSQ and Graphtech are reputable brands for replacement nuts. *Effects Loop and Pedalboard Expansion: Brands like Boss, TC Electronic, Donner and Strymon provide high-quality effects pedals for an expanded pedalboard setup. Remember to research and choose the options that best match your preferences and playing style. These suggestions can help you further enhance your Donner Electric Guitar's performance and make it even more tailored to your needs. Some of these upgrades can be done yourself if you are confident in doing that otherwise seek out a professional guitar technician (luthier) for the setup. Or you can watch a bunch of YouTube videos. Otherwise for the money spent this is a great price point for a beginner guitarist. Thank you Donner!

This is an amazing starter guitar! It came with everything we needed to get started with playing. I did a ton or research before choosing this guitar but still felt nervous about buying a guitar without being able to see it or play it first. When we got it, I asked my friend who is a guitar professor at our local university to check it out before I gave it as a gift. While he was familiar with the brand, he hadn't played a Donner guitar before. He said it was a great starter guitar and was very impressed. It holds a tune well and was playable right out of the box. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase.

I was looking for an inexpensive guitar to keep at my office and picked this up on the Prime day sale. It's comparable to a Squier Affinity series strat in terms of volume and tone. It's a decent starter guitar. The finish is great! The entry level practice amp is surprisingly loud and very portable. The speaker charges with a standard USB cord. It came with a very nice gig bag. The cord, capo, and tuner are very basic but a welcome addition to the pack. My only complaint is that the fret ends are a little sharp, but rounded them off and that did the trick. It stays in tune. Looks like it was set up with .09 strings on the high E. This is well worth the price and I would buy again. I love the coil split on the bridge humbucker! Be sure to change out the strings and oil the frets. Just get a setup at a local shop if you're a new player. It's worth it and you'll still be under the price of the Squier pack.

This review is for the DST-152S HSS in Sunburst with Maple neck & fretboard. The guitar is a spectacular value for the money and looks sensational. There are very minor fret spurs on both sides of the neck which do not affect playablility but, aesthetically, will need a light file or fine sandpaper to resolve. The humbucker bridge pickup generates zero hum on normal setting and a slight hum when the bottom tone knob is pulled up, placing the pickup into single-coil mode. There is also zero hum with the pickup selector switch in the 2nd position, which I believe activates both single coil pickups together (at the neck and center positions). The little lithium-ion battery powered amplifier is very cool but I was disappointed that the volume, tone and gain controls do not work when the amp is in bluetooth mode - at least on the older (white) version I received. Maybe that's why there's a newer (black) version? The DST-152 has only been here for a week, so it will take a while yet for the muscles, callouses and flexibility to return in this old-timer's left hand and for his right hand to figure out which strings are where. But it's a whole lot nicer (and a whole lot more complicated) than the no-name knock-off I played 60 years ago. Thanks, Donner - well done!

After a little fretwork, a string change and a set up for string height and intonation, this guitar is great. Very narrow neck and it’s fun to play. It’s a good looker too. No fret sprouts.I have many guitars and thought I wouldcheck this out not intending to keep it necessarilybut it was so fun to play I’m keeping it. I’ve used it on a gig already.Nice to have the splitter on the humbucker

Los acabados perfectos. El sonido es limpio y muy bueno, no se desafina apenas y tiene los armónicos correctos. Nada que envidiar a una Squier o una fender de baja gama, y además tiene 22 trastes. Con respecto a los extras cumplen sin más. El ampli tiene una distorsión un tanto chufera, pero le paso un pedal behringer TM300 para darle un sonido de ampli tocho y suena espectacular. Recomiendo 100%

The guitar is amazing I suggest u change the strings and the amplifier, they’re good but there’s better

I think this is a super piece of kit. Excellent value for money. I am amazed. You really do get a lot in this package. Sounds great, looks amazing, well packaged. The amp you get is good and will get you up and running fast. I am genuinely impressed. All great so far. A quick tune up and away you go. Mine came with DT-04 tuner which is very precise. This guitar is built to last. The maple neck is stunning, absolutely perfect. Thank you for putting together a great guitar kit.

Den var as snygg och ganska bra för det lilla priset men förstärkaren var ganska sämst och fanns inte så mycket inställningar på ljudet på gitarren men det är nog bra för nybörjare
