I bought this as a base for a custom job.
I was impressed with the set up out of the box.
Neck relief was perfect as was the intonation.
As you can see its been professionally painted in cherry red candy marble and the pickups and tuners upgraded.
It is a great base to work from and is now a high end guitar for very little money.
Excellent guitar!

Can a £100 guitar be any good ?
Yes it can.
It plays straight out of the box (after tuning).
The paint finish is excellent, pikups are surprisingly good,
No adjustments on either truss rod, or intonation.
Its great guitar if its your first, or a great starting point for modding.
The only bad point are the tuners, they work and will hold tune, but they are clunky and feel cheap, but hey £100 guitar, still worth it.

Great product. No problems or issues. Great service.

For £100 which I paid in the sale, this is a well made guitar and nice to play. Sadly it is let down by the strings it comes with and at times unresponsive machine heads. But for the price it is a bargain.

This guitar looks great and sounds great. It stays in tune without any problem. The tuners are a bit vague when tuning up so that is the only upgrade that might need to be done. How do they do this for the money? I have no idea. If you are thinking of buying a Les Paul type guitar but don't have the budget for the real thing then this guitar HAS to be on your shortlist - it's that good!

This guitar is much better than the price suggests. Great quality & playability.
I'm pleasantly surprised.

Product ok but delivery service gets an F. Item took more than 1 month to get to destination because the delivery company didn't know how to read the shipping address properly. Poor communication between Donner and delivery co.

Looks really great with a good weight and really smooth neck. Plays well right out of the box with only a little adjustment. The Tuning machines though, could be of a better quality and I would be well prepared to pay the extra to achieve this. Pickups are more than adequate for budget entry level of requirement and I am sure that the guitar will only benefit from a professional set up which I have only today commissioned by a local Luthier. The Bag, Strap and Instrument cable supplied meet all requirements and are of obvious quality. Well pleased with the guitar as supplied. Well done Donner on an excellent product.

I've been playing this guitar for over half a year and it still plays like its brand new. I've bought a few guitars in the past and this one is by far the sturdiest and most playable. All in all its AMAZING for the price its at.

Vanessa zoora
genuinely a great guitar. it may not be ichika nito tier, but i'd say it's high up there considering its price
ian robertson
The guitar was exactly what I was expecting for my first experience on electric having played acoustic. Great for learning on and worth the money.

I have 4 music projects all in different genres. I write and play all of the music. I am producing a video game and several motion pictures. I am a drummer/multi instrumentalist. I was in desperate need of a dependable electric guitar within a budget, so I set out on the research tour on the interwebs and came across Donner Guitars. I watched ALL of the youtube video reviews trying to get an idea of what to expect from Donner. Some reviewers complained about the neck needing tightening but over all the reaction from them was pretty consistent.
I then set out to get me one of thems.
After surfing ALL of the regular sources for the cheapest price, I found myself at the Donner website. LUCKY ME!!! Not only was it cheaper on the Donner site they also give you a 10% discount. WOOHOO!!! I bought mine for $149.00
OUT THE DOOR!!! It arrived in 2 days. I know right? CRAZY! I did the regular check of all the goodies for damage which there was none. The guitar box was shipped in another box keeping my baby safe. The guitar is BEAUTIFUL. The craftsmanship is stupid over the top. YEEEAH BOYYY! This is a $400.00 guitar all day. Seriously.
I tuned the thing up and checked the intonation and only the B string was so minutely sharp that I don't care, which also means the neck was JUST FINE. Ok. I plug the thing in and in 2 hrs I record 2 new songs. OUT OF THE BOX!!!
I'M FLOORED!!! For a 149.00 buckaroonies I got a really nice case, strap, neck wrench thingy and a really nice cord which can be seen plugged into the sans amp on the desk.
I STOLE THIS GUITAR FROM DONNER!!! (throws head back) AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I've been playing this guitar everyday for a couple of weeks now, WITH THE FACTORY STRINGS! The thing Hardly ever goes outta tune. OH, I had 1 almost problem. When I first plugged it in the switch thingy on the guitar was wonky meaning, when I switched it, the guitar went silent and of course I fiddled with the switch back n forth and it FIXED ITSELF!!!
SELF FIXING GUITAR for a buckfortynine!!!
I WILL NEVER BUY A GUITAR FROM ANYONE ELSE BUT DONNER. EVER. I'm 54. Originally from Hollywood in the 80s. I was there. Ya know? Seriously. I had my Rec Deal in 2000 with Lava blah blah. I've played really expensive guitars and I have to be honest. I could give a crap less about them. Live, with all of the noise, smoke ,flying beer and boobs this AXE is just as good as any $3500.00 dollar waste of money. In the studio I gotta say the tone I get from this guitar clean is perfect for me. (Buddy Guy fan) When I hit the effects, the guitar damn near plays itself. (Angus, nuff said) I just wish Donner made a 5 string bass with 3 humbuckers including switch. THAT wood bee badassness fer sure.
Am I happy with my purchase? NO!!!
I'm friggen ecstatic!!!
Do you hear me?
ECSTATIC!!!
I'm Outty,
Peace

I bought my this as my first guitar About 10 months ago..with no experience or knowledge about anything. out the box its fantastic! Perfect really, the only problem I had was the nut on the jack is loose which made it short in and out. And there was maybe a little ground issue. It doesn’t buzz unless the cord is moved. Other than that there were no problems at all and I’m 100% satisfied. I bought this along with a black star mini practice amp.

This guitar is a great one for beginners due to the cost and how it’s easy to restring and operate. While the guitar is a good one for beginners, it’s also rather good for intermediate and advanced. There is no wammy bar or dead switch.
Hannah
I have owned a few nicer guitars. My favorite electric was a Schecter in college and I regularly play on a Martin Dreadnought. This guitar keeps pace with anything else I’ve ever had. It functions extremely well for its price point. The only issue I have noticed (hence the 4/5 stars) is a slight “click” or sticky spot in the high E tuning key. It will probably need replaced in the future, but not for a long while.
Fantastic guitar for its price, couldn’t be happier.

I’m personally a self training beginner guitarist so I needed a relatively low quality start which I was fortunately found disappointed. This guitar, for only $170 or so, is way better than I had previously anticipated. The sound is great, it holds its tune fairly well (just a touch here and there for the tuning), the string action is a little high and when my hand is at a sharp angle with my palm against the side the frets can be a little damaging.
I’ve looked into the manufacture and they have a sort of reputation for pedals and amps but they do have a selection of guitars as a new business motive I suppose. If I had known better, I probably would have gotten the DST-100R since it comes with more and I wouldn’t have had to buy all the equipment that I did. But that’s more my negligence than a complaint. It is strange that the DST is a little cheaper than the Les Paul despite the DST having everything the Les Paul has an more.
