Excellent present for my daughter who is learning to play the electric guitar. She chose it for her birthday , but it’s a surprise gift as she doesn’t know that I bought it for her.
Thanks again Donner

I am a beginner, the guitar and accessories arrived on time as promised. It is a nice looking, good quality instrument which I am sure will be more than suitable for what I need. The accessories included in the pack enabled me to start using it straight away. This beginner's pack is great value.
Thank you Donner.

I ordered my new Donner DST-152 and it arrived at my home in 4 days. Unpacking it was exciting and it only needed a very quick tune before I played it. The feel of the instrument is very nice, the sculpting of the body lets it fit to your body and as a beginner guitarist it is very easy to play. I can highly recommend this instrument and the Donner Company.

Love it, nice quality. The only down size is the amp as I wasn't expecting it to be the size of my hand.

Just love my new Sunburst Donner DST-152 Electric Guitar.
The bag plus all the accessories that came with the guitar are great for someone just starting out on learning to play.
The guitar itself seems to be well made and sounds great.
The only thing that I find wrong with it is the tuners. They are not very precise when tuning the guitar. There seems to be a lot of play when turning back and forth while tuning.
Apart from that I just LOVE the guitar and would recommend it to anyone wanting a great sound.
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.
Not only was it sitting at the freight depot for five days, it would have been longer before I received the guitar if I didn't make the trip into Toowoomba to pick it up from their depot!!!

Fast delivery. Well packed. Nice weight and strong neck also decent strings and the mini amp actually kicks sound and is crisp .

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the beginner kit package. Not only did it come with a nice, entry level guitar, but it came with all the extras you need to get started, and then some.
The accessories included a mini practice amp, a set of picks with different stiffness, a second set of strings, a tuner, a strap, a couple of Alan wrenches, a cable, a gig bag and a capo.
The gig bag is padded and has "backpack" style straps. and the mini amp is no half stack, but it gives a variety of sounds and has a built-in distortion setting.
On to the guitar...There were only two color choices at the time I ordered, blue or white. The paint job on the body was good. It comes with 3 pick-ups and a 5 position switch and a screw in tremolo. The neck was straight and feels nice, it has good action, with no string buzzing when played. The tuning pegs are decent and the headstock looks average.
While this is no higher end guitar, it is a VERY NICE beginner/starter guitar and with the package it comes with, it's a solid win in my opinion.

I love the look and the feel of this guitar, a quality guitar for a great price , Thanks donner for keeping music instruments affordable for everyday people!

Very good guitar for the price. I upgraded the tuners though, these were really lose. The humbucker is a bit noisy... but the single coils are great. My only real complaint is that the color is not really as pictured. This guitar has a tint of green in the ice finish, and it seems like there were not enough coats, the wood tint leaks through, so overall the color is very bland.

I am starting to learn guitar from the VERY beginning. So it’s nice that this kit essentially comes with everything you need. The amp is pretty decent quality, though I typically don’t plug it in to practice, and the guitar itself is great. Love that it comes with extra strings as well.

It is very impressive how much quality and versatility this guitar offers. The gig bag is not heavily padded but it seems strong and comfortable to carry around with nicely padded handles and shoulder straps.
It came very nicely packaged along with all the accessories advertised. The action is relatively low and the neck is mid-size with a C shape carve. The fret ends are pretty sharp so I would not call these rolled edges but it is easy to fix these with some extra fine sanding paper and steel wool. I guess my point is, this is a great guitar for beginners but later down the road you might want to take it to a qualified technician for a proper fret dressing and setup. One other cosmetic flaw was on the back of the neck which does not impact playability.
Tuners and all other important hardware like the bridge seem to be working well which is the most important thing.
The pickups were far from amazing but I thought they sounded pretty good. With the HSS configuration, 2 tone controls, and coil-split for the bridge pickup, this guitar has plenty of tone options.
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.
Overall, I wish I had a guitar like this one when I first started.
I sincerely hope that you would find my review helpful.

This isn't a high end guitar, but it is a decent quality. I'm not a professional musician, but I am a sound man. So while I cant play this very good, listening to it it has decent sound. It does have a little bit of a buzz on the higher strings, but its a simple guitar to learn on and experiment with. It comes with a rechargeable battery-powered amp, a spare set of strings, a capo, some picks, a cheap tuner, and soft-sided backpack style case. There was a protective film on the guitar that was a bit annoying to remove with the knobs in place, but if you pop the knobs off, then it isn't too bad.
The included accessories are pretty low quality, but it is nice to have them for starting out. The amp is fairly low volume, but that is actually really nice for learning. If your kid is rocking out in their bedroom they don't inadvertently wake the dead......or the neighbors.

This is the ultimate guitar kit aimed for beginning guitarists. This literally comes with everything.

Some of the frets were not leveled properly. There were noticeable “dead spots” on the high-e string. Also, the truss rod would NOT turn at all! I used all my strength but the Allen key would not rotate. I ordered a replacement and it’s on the way.Onto the positives: The color is stunning and looks better in person. You can compare it to Fender’s “Lake Placid Blue” color. The pickups on this budget guitar sound superb. I’ve owned many Squiers in this price range (and most of them sounded terrible) but these stock pickups are fantastic and offer minimal feedback noise. Humbucker sounds proper. Split coil feature definitely works but you'll need to be playing at loud volumes in order to hear a noticeable difference. I also love the shape of the neck. It's comparable to a Fender "modern-c shape", which I think is perfect. The guitar definitely stays in tune.UPDATE: Donner sent me a replacement for my defective one. This second one is perfect with no quality control issues. I'll be keeping it. I highly recommend this brand.
