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

Excellent value for money! As my first electric guitar, I couldn’t be happier. The build quality is impressive, the neck feels comfortable, and it plays beautifully. The HSS pickups offer a great range of tones, making it suitable for different styles of music. The Shell Pink finish looks even better in person, and overall it feels like a much more expensive guitar. Highly recommended for beginners and anyone looking for a quality guitar at a very reasonable price.

Great guitar!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

I bought this to be my practice guitar when I travel for work. It plays great, sounds great, and the fretts haven't cut me, as many are complaining about.

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.

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!

Sono musicista polistrumentista, producer e compositore da oltre 20 anni. Tra gli altri strumenti suono anche le chitarre e da qualche anno ho una vera e propria mania dell'elettrica. Ne possiedo diverse, anche di marchi famosi, sia nuove che vintage. Sempre alla ricerca di qualche novità dal design accattivante, sono stato subito catturato dal look di questa bellissima Stratocaster Donner (versione rosa salmone). Premetto che conosco bene questo marchio visto che possiedo già alcuni ottimi pedali, un'acustica, un'altra elettrica stile Les Paul e pure un piano digitale, tutti ottimi strumenti dell'incredibile rapporto qualità prezzo (vedi le altre mie recensioni). Questa chitarra non fa eccezione, confermando l'ottima qualità dei materiali nonostante l'incredibile economicità! La chitarra arriva con un imballo di cartone sagomato, all'interno della sua custodia morbida ma sufficientemente imbottita per proteggerla dagli urti. Inoltre c'è anche un accordatore digitale, una buona tracolla di tessuto spesso e resistente, 2 brugole, un buon cavo jack, insomma tutto il necessario per iniziare. Come spesso accade alle chitarre in questa fascia di prezzo, all'inizio sono necessarie alcune operazioni per regolare al meglio il setup generale. Fortunatamente sono abbastanza pratico in questo ambito e non ho dovuto ricorrere all'intervento di un liutaio. una volta regolata l'action, il truss rod, il ponte per renderlo floating, una lucidata ai tasti con un po' di paglietta fine per stoviglie, una limatina ai bordi dei fret, un cambio corde con una muta di qualità e infine una regolata all'altezza dei pick-up, sono poi corso subito nella sala prove dove mi diverto con la mia rock band e l'ho messa subito alla prova nelle mani del mio fidato amico chitarrista leader, collegata a una testata valvolare e a un cabinet 1x15. Lascio a voi giudicare il suono, che di certo non rende giustizia nel breve video che ho fatto con lo smartphone ma che dà un'idea della sua incredibile versatilità. Posso solo aggiungere che per il prezzo è davvero sorprendente per la qualità offerta, sia in termini costruttivi che di suono. Le timbriche tipiche delle Stratocaster ci sono tutte, inoltre il pick-up al ponte splittabile con un potenziometro push pull la rende ancora più versatile e adatta a qualsiasi genere, dal blues al rock più spinto! A questo prezzo è difficile trovare qualcosa di meglio, certo una volta arrivata sono state necessarie alcune operazioni per settarla ma nulla di complicato. Per chi è alle prime armi consiglio comunque di rivolgersi a un liutaio per regolarla al meglio. In sintesi è un'ottima chitarra dall'imbattibile prezzo che consiglio tranquillamente sia ai principianti che a chitarristi più avanzati desiderosi di avere una strato dall'affascinante look vintage e dal suono convincente che non ha nulla da invidiare a chitarre di marchi più blasonati che costano anche quattro volte di più. Complimenti ancora a Donner e buona musica a tutti!

La chitarra innanzitutto e' arrivata in 5/6 giorni lavorativi quindi rapidamente...il prodotto rapportato al prezzo pagato e' sicuramente validissimo....ottimo per principianti....ma buona anche per chi fa' serate ed ha bisogno di una chitarra di scorta nel caso abbia problemi a quella principale.La chitarra naturalmente arriva con un settaggio decente ma migliorabile con un 2/3 accorgimenti...tipo regolazione del ponte,sostituzione delle corde di fabbrica ,sostituzione del capotasto in plastica con uno in osso....regolazione dell'action ed a quel punto e' tranquillamente suonabile e sicuramente migliore di chitarre da me provate e pagate prezzi superiori...le meccaniche vanno bene se devo dare un voto dico 7 tengono discretamente l'accordatura ricordo che stiamo parlando di una chitarra da 100 euro...quindi se si vuole migliorarle basta prendere delle autobloccanti e via si esegue un ulteriore upgrade.In ogni caso consigliatissima....io ne ho prese 2 una per me che ho modificato abbastanza...rendendola una chitarra ancora di piu' performante ed una x mia figlia rimasta come da fabbrica sulla quale ho effettuato solo un setting.
