I LOVE this thing. Bought it as a lay-around guitar that I expected to not care about. It’s been over a year now and I keep it on a stand ready to go to strum on whenever I get an itch. I did replace the strings with a D’Addario set right off the bat, but that was my only “upgrade†to her. This and oil the fret boards with some decent oil when you do. She needs it and it makes her pop a little more. Guitar is gorgeous in this black. Admittedly at first I wasn’t a fan of the “off white†or ivory-ish tan-like color of the switch housing, but it’s growing on me as it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb as if it were pure white and doesn’t look so basic b***ch murdered out in all black, either. Look, it’s NOT a high price guitar so don’t expect things that you would from an expensive guitar. Like the pickups aren’t going to wow anyone anytime soon and are a little noisy….. ok, pretty noisy. The bridge feels a bit flimsy but after a year of regular play hasn’t shown any signs of giving up. Frets are surprisingly decent for this price point. Not super smooth like you find on a Solar or ESP but also not sharp or snaggy enough to rip a latex glove on. The most valuable thing about this girl is it gives room to grow and you can upgrade it SO easily. Tuners do their job. Don’t have to tune her as much as other, more expensive guitars that I’ve owned. Another extremely simple upgrade and a fairly inexpensive one if you shop around. My point being this girl has GREAT solid bones to work with AND looks pretty good for what you pay for. If you want to learn guitar, or want to get it as a gift for someone who does it’s a GREAT starter that leaves room to grow with the player and will keep them from having to take a 2nd mortgage or sell an organ for a fancy snobby name on the headstock for a good long time. I love this thing. Will definitely buy another Donner guitar in the near future!

The finish is flawless and gorgeous. The shape (flat face) and weight are so comfortable. The thinner-C neck is fast and smooth. I like the pickups, as they have a warmth and punch that provide nice tones, if you play more clean than distorted. However, it does handle distortion quite well, just not really a chugging machine. I play classic rock and pop, and this little axe is perfect for my application. Not exactly a Les Paul, but an attractive instrument with its own tone. Great bang for the buck. Would make a perfect backup axe at a gig. I wouldn't pigeon-hole this as a beginner's guitar.

First and foremost, this is not a high end guitar, it’s not a Gibson or even an Epiphone, But! For the $130 I spent after shipping, this guitar is a great value! It doesn’t feel cheap and doesn’t sound cheap, does it sound like a thousand dollar guitar? Of course not. It does sound and play much better than it’s price point would suggest, now I have a fairly large collection of guitars, mostly Jackson’s and Bc Rich at much higher costs and this little Donner holds up pretty well against them. I would say for a beginner this is perfect! You get the guitar, patch cord, strap, and gig bag for an extremely reasonable price and if for some reason the beginner loses interest your not out much money wise! The fit and finish of this guitar is beautiful and I’d imagine you could upgrade the electronics and tuners and really turn this into a attractive screamer for very little cost! This is a great little guitar and for the price it’s a steal!

This is a great little LP; looks awesome, sounds way better than it should for this price, well constructed, and fun to play. The frets are surprisingly smooth. My fender strat and Hagstrom viking Dlx (around $1000 each) didn't have frets this clean. I was shocked to see that it shipped in the soft gig bag, in a thin cardboard box, with no foam around it. Mine arrived with no damage at all but I can understand how some of the other reviews show broken guitars. The strap is soft and comfortable, and the gig bag is your standard bag. I haven't used the 10ft cable since I have the Shure cordless guitar system. I'm playing it through a Fender Mustang GTX 100 and it sounds amazing!I added $65 in upgrades to it so far; multi contact output jack, Earnie Ball super locks for the strap, Guyker locking tuners (because their screw hole on the back lined up perfect), and I have a black toggle cover coming today. The guitar and upgrades came to the same price as the DIY kit I almost purchased.Side note: I wanted to keep the Donner tuner knobs but they don't fit over the Guyker shafts. Also the diameter of the new output jack was slightly larger than the jack cover plate.Out of the box I lowered the bridge 1 turn on the screws, tuned it, checked the neck (no adjustment needed), my fretboard was extremely dry (it looked like dog *@#* when it starts to turn white) so I put 3 coats of conditioner on it and it looks/feels a lot better. Over all I'm tickled I bought this thing. I can't wait to throw in some hot SDs!

Ich übe jeden Tag mit diesem Instrument und kann sagen:Für diesen Preis ein perfektes Produkt. Die Gitarre kam absolut sicher (3-fach) eingepackt und somit unbeschädigt bei mir an. Sie war nach kurzem Nachstimmen direkt spielbereit und hält die Stimmung einwandfrei.

It’s what I’ve been looking for minus the hefty price tag .Always loved the shape of lespaul/ Gibsons guitars but I didn’t fancy forking out a grand on something I’m average at best at . I wanted something I could get better at playing on since I’ve been playing the same tunes since I was 14 and need to improve my technique on electric having played mostly acoustic and not using a pick I figured it’s time to learn again.Great tone and with a bit of reverb sounds amazing just to jam by yourself. slightly lighter colour than the picture but it looks great with the glossy finish. Well worth the money if you want a good starter .
