About this deal

As I already mentioned, this guitar had a really low action out of the box. After making it a bit higher to get rid of the fret buzz, handling this guitar and accessing all corners of the fretboard was really easy and smooth. Strings feel like the ones from the short-scale guitar(this donner has the regular scale of 25.5”) because they were so easy to fret and bend. Donner has been the go-to brand for most beginner guitarists since the company was founded in 2012. With its cost-effective guitars, guitar accessories, and gear, such as effect pedals, Donner offers many products with great value-for-price ratios. The fret edges are not so sharp that they bothered me every time I played, but I noticed it once in a while. I had to admit that the crunch tones were the ones I least enjoyed with this Donner, but it doesn’t mean this axe sounds bad with crunch, it just was just not my favorite use for this guitar. But crunch tones of this axe are still really good for the price.

Another great aspect of DST-152 is that it comes with an excellent accessory bundle. The bundle includes a gig bag, a Donner mini guitar amp, a USB charge cable for the amp, an AUX cable, a guitar cable, an extra string set, a capo, a guitar strap, a tuner, and two Hex keys’ (Allen wrench), one for adjusting the saddle and one for adjusting the truss rod. The Sound, The Feel Of The Donner DST-152 Finally, another con, a bit rough fret edges below the 11th fret I already mentioned in the “Hardware”-section. Again, this didn’t bother me too much, but it’s still something that needs to be pointed out and takes a bit out of the playability score too.One thing of concern was the delivery by your selected freight company. After taking two days to come from Sydney to Toowoomba, it took a further FIVE days before I received it. J'ai commencé il y a quelques mois avec une guitare classique et j'ai toujours trouvé qu'elle n'était jamais vraiment très confortable. J'ai donc pensé qu'une guitare électrique, moins épaisse, serait plus confortable dans ce domaine. Évidemment, je peux maintenant m'exercer très confortablement avec ma nouvelle guitare - elle est géniale. J'aime la sensation qu'elle offre - son poids (elle est plus lourde qu'une guitare classique) et sa douceur. La guitare est accompagnée de nombreux extras. L'étui est joli mais pas trop spécial, juste en nylon. L'accordeur électronique fourni a fonctionné assez bien, cependant, il y avait quelques erreurs. La corde n°3 était affichée en vert (accordée) mais il s'agissait d'une autre corde. La guitare était proche d'être accordée. En grattant lentement, le son était assez proche, mais l'accordeur affichait toujours l'erreur sur cette corde. Le problème n'est pas si grave et l'accordeur électronique n'est pas si important, il est juste pratique. I mainly think missing shielding as a real con because most guitars from this price have had shielding on them, so this guitar missing the shielding makes it a bit below the average in the electronics department.

Designed with “versatility in mind”, the DST-200 Designer Series is made for playing a multitude of genres, from pop to metal. Meet the Stratocaster Custom, a Fender Japan signature model that combines the Strat and Tele into a unique new form – and it’s absolutely full of surprises A mini Phantom and a slimmed-down digital archtop: Vox’s shrinking violets tip their caps to the guitar’s past, present and future Donner DST-400 is a great entry-level guitar for beginner guitarists. It is highly affordable, sounds good, feels highly comfortable, and is quite versatile. It can be preferred by younger musicians as well as adults as their first instruments. But, as it is a bit of a heavy guitar, it may not be suitable for kids. I got approached by Donner’s staff member Brandon, and he offered to send me products to test and review for free. I was flattered, but at first, I declined. I didn’t want to become like the Youtubers who produce commercials for guitars and rarely disclaim that they got products for free or even got paid to produce content. But I started to have second thoughts…Hot Search HUSH-I Travel Guitar Digital Piano for Beginner Electric Guitar Electronic Drums DDP-100 Beginner's Piano But the overall versatility of this Donner really surprised me. It can handle music from soft country cleans to pretty meaty metal tones if the right amp is used (I recommend Fender Mustang LT25, Boss Katana 50 Mkii, or VOX Valvetronix 20). And this is why I think it’s a great choice, especially for beginners. The amplifier was surprisingly good. Due to its small and lightweight construction, I thought It would be useless. I was wrong. The cleans are nice and bright. The distortion is adequate for a beginner. I love the fact that it has rechargeable battery power which makes it very portable.

In general, they are no worse than other cheap guitars but don’t expect perfection either. Are Donner Guitars Good for Beginners?Donner electric guitars are solid beginner and budget guitars. They offer great value, often come with accessories, are usually smooth playing, and sound good. Of course, sometimes Donner guitars suffer from budget guitar problems such as:

Donner DST-152 is a versatile guitar that overall sounds really good for the price. It offers easy and smooth playability and comes with all the accessories you need to get started.First, some of the bad stuff. The action was too low out of the box and that caused some fret buzz and a not-so-fun time playing this axe. So I had to do a little setup before the guitar was playable. Tuners and all other important hardware like the bridge seem to be working well which is the most important thing.
