Donner DST-152R Electric Guitar Kit for Adults from Beginners to Advanced

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!

Good product, everything provided to play. Tuner,picks,small rechargeable amp,carrying case ,strap...well worth the price. Thank you

I bought this for my 12 year old son's birthday. Its a good starter guitar, the amp provides just enough sound and power for him to learn and enjoy. The added accessories are helpful. Overall its a good product and has been worth it.

Great purchase. I got it for my kid and use it everyday. Great bundle.

Excellent sound quality, comfortable feeling, just the right weight this beautiful guitar is perfectly suitable to my teens needs. My daughter was asking for an electric guitar and her music teacher sent me the Amazon link to this Donner. I was surprised by the quality and sound produced by a guitar at this price point. My daughter has been so happy with it and has been able to tune it herself and use the included accessories. I think this will be a great guitar for her for years to come.

UPDATE: I returned the old guitar and ordered a new one, same color and got it cheaper lol. I also got the amp this time! I received the newer model and it’s small but pretty good. I’m only a beginner so this works perfectly for me and I probably won’t be needing a new amp anytime soon as I don’t want to play too loud anyway. I just got my new one a day ago but it’s already working great. Easy to tune and set up + beginner friendly and love it so far. Even comes with a “common cord” card kind of thing which will come in handy when I practice. I hope I get a full refund for the previous guitar since it was missing an item though. (Update again: I got a full refund! Thanks Donner and Amazon! :D) Original Review: This is an absolutely beautiful electric guitar, and it’s my first guitar that i’m really excited to learn how to play! I got the ice blue kind of color and I love it! It does have a few dents and is a little dirty though? Whatever, I can get over that. My main problem is that I didn’t get the mini 5 watt amplifier that is supposed to come with it… So i can’t even play it. I contacted Donner about it just before writing this review but I will leave an update later after I get a response, though I might just return it and get a new one. Again, it’s lovely and overall pretty good for what I payed for, but I can’t really give it a good review until I get an amp.

Excellent instrument…

I bought this guitar about a month ago, and it’s not that bad for its price. When it first delivered, there was a scratch on the base and the pickups were loose, so I did have to adjust the pick ups with a screwdriver just a tiny bit. The case for the guitar is actually somewhat sturdy, but the zipper is broke after two weeks of use. The tuner came broken, and when you try to tune it says numbers that are way off. Now, about the guitar, it really doesn’t sound as bad as people were saying. I would suggest changing the strings if you’re someone who finds sound and feel very important, but if not, I say you shouldn’t have to change the strings. The strings that comes with makes it very easy to bend, and their light gauge so they don’t hurt (unless your a beginner, your fingers would hurt anyway.) The action on the guitar came pretty low, I’d say it’s perfect height. The frets aren’t sharp. The tuning pegs feel pretty cheap, but surprisingly the guitar stays in tune well. Now for the stuff it came with, it’s not bad either. It came with a really small amplifier and it’s actually not bad. It definitely couldn’t be used for performance or anything, but it’s perfect for at home practice. And the overdrive actually sounds pretty good on it. No explanation needed for the other stuff. My overall recommendation: It’s perfect for beginners or people who want to start playing guitar. If you are a professional guitarist, I wouldn’t recommend it simply because it might not meet up to your standards, unless you simply just don’t care :))

Ottimo set per iniziare, prezzo eccezionale!

Having played a bit with a ukulele over the past three years, I wanted something with a wider range of sounds and decided to try an electric guitar, although I have not even played an acoustic guitar previously. But what to buy? My thanks go to YouTube and GCH Guitar Academy whose reviews on the Donner DST-100 and DST-152 convinced me that the Donner beginner’s package would be a sound choice. My thanks also to Woodsnstrings whose comparison tests of the three Donner models persuaded me that the mid-range DST-152 was the one to go for, and that was finally decided when Amazon knocked a further £25 off the asking price. So I committed. I was pleased to find that the guitar arrived in a box that was well protected against damage to each end and that the guitar was also packed within its padded gig bag. With the bag unzipped, it lay gleaming ice-blue waiting to be picked up and examined and no damage found. In fact the overall finish is as good as suggested by the reviews. I was a little surprised how heavy it is but, of course, it’s all solid wood. With the added confidence from Gear4music Guitars YouTube advice on setting up an electric guitar, I was able to tune it up, plug it into the amplifier and hear the first real sounds. The amplifier isn’t brilliant but perfectly good for learning at home. Soon I was twiddling all the knobs to explore its range and find the sounds that I prefer. I even removed a spring from behind the rear cover to give some flexibility to the whammy bar and eased the neck to lose a bit of fret buzz. I could never have done this without guidance from the You Tube subscribers and I recommend anyone else contemplating such a purchase to also do their homework first. I cannot comment on behalf of experienced players but I am really happy. It looks good and it sounds good. I think it was the right buy and now it’s up to me to get all the notes in the right order!

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

J'ai acheté ce pack pour mon fils et il en est ravi. C'est un kit complet qui permet de commencer à jouer immédiatement. La guitare est très belle et la finition est surprenante pour le prix. Le système "Coil Split" est un vrai plus car il permet de varier les sons. Pour un premier instrument, cela lui suffit amplement et il prend beaucoup de plaisir à apprendre avec. J'espère que mon avis vous aura été utile.

Mon fils en es très content il l'a recommande pour débutant
