A stunning guitar - only £100 direct from Donner UK. Blemish-free build. Excellent tone and volume controls - plenty of variation. When using a standard capo, I've found the guitar tends to drop out of tune EXCEPT when I use my G7th, 12 string capo. (Thinner bar and a non-standard pad designed for 12 strings). Shubb and G7th 6 string capos were less effective at keeping the guitar in tune. (I'm not sure what radiuis is used for the fingerboard - maybe that's the cause?) Even with the strings that come as fitted, the guitar is easy to play, with good tone. I restrung with D'Addario 10/46's. Tuners are good and don't seem to slip. The guitar is so good that I will probably upgrade them anyway next time I restring. I will probably use Wilkinsons. This guitar is perfect for a beginner (mine weighs in at a tad under 7lbs) but is equally good for gigging, noodling or as a backup instrument 'just in case'. Highly recommended.

I'm very impressed with the LP Black Donner guitar, for a very low price, I would say that it is easily the best budget guitar I have ever played..

At the time I could get this from the Donner site for a much reduced cost, but now it’s the same that I paid. However, I didn’t have to pay sales tax. I received the guitar in three days and it was packaged very well. It came with a very nice amp cable, strap and a decent gig bag. The craftsmanship was very nice and the binding was perfect. The finish was excellent and the neck was straight. I took it to my guitar shop and the owner was impressed. He lowered the action and set the intonation. I was going to replace the strings and the tuners, but he said no need because the quality was fine. I like that it is a Les Paul style and I really like the sound from the humbuckers. I’ve been playing it daily and it holds tuning very well. I’m very pleased. Update: I decided to have the strings replaced with.10 nickel D’Addario’s and the upgrade was a big difference. I like a mellower sound then the stock strings gave. I also put a pick guard on it. The Epiphone pick guard needed a bit of modification especially around the volume knob. But it looks great. I’m still impressed with this Donner LP

Beautiful guitar and sounds good to me. Very pleased.
Tony Hill

Bought for my 14 year old daughter. Size is good and it is easy for her to use.
Laura Grimshaw
Dislikes- the back of the neck was not real smooth. I sanded it some and finished it with lemon oil, problem solved. The frets are a bit sandy, but not horrible, another easy fix. The tuners are not great, but better than a lot of budget guitars. Likes- The gig bag is pretty good. NICE cable, not your typical radio shat crap cable. The action was really good out of the box. The SOUND is awesome. Good looking guitar too. The binding looks better in person- it almost looks like pin striping in the pictures. Great finish too. I would definitely recommend this one over an Epiphone in the same price range. Buy one!
Reuben Davison
Everything about this Donner is perfect. Great for beginners
Karen truscott
got this for my birthday, it was pretty good, love the feel of the neck and fretboard i love this thing...but one problem..the wiring was faulty, one of the wires on the jack came loose so that sucks but other than that i love this thing just please make sure the wiring is good.
Lyndsey Kramer
Great construction and playability
Andrew Dunn
Great fretboard and body shape, design & weight, tuners are ok, so are switches, the best feature of this guitar would be the value ??
Colin Stirrup
Great guitar for the money. Feels good plays good.
Ndanatswa Kawome
Great guitar, only problem is the strings are bad and one broke on day one but I was expecting this and am already planning on getting strings so no big deal
Martin Scragg
Great sound for the price point!
Charlie Holmes
Great starter guitar! A quick tuning and it's ready to roll! Aesthetically pleasing??
Adam Harkus
Great starter guitar!!!!
Dario Cafolla
Great, inexpensive electric guitar for beginners. Classic Les Paul styling and extremely well built for this price point. Good intonation and holds it's tune. Combine this with a fender mustang amp and you'll be happy ??
stephen williams
I am an absolute beginner when it comes to the guitar, this is my first since I was a teenager. I bought this to learn based solely on the positive reviews from experienced players, and I am not disappointed. Fit and finish, the cover, everything that was included seem decent and not cheap. I have not used the cord, I bought a usb so I could play through my computer. Definitely happy with this purchase.
Mebin Nahida Akter
I definitely would recommend. Good solid budget guitar. Has a beautiful finish, sounds pretty good. Great bargain for the price. I only say "good for beginners" because of price. The only real downsides to it were the one I received had a loose tuning peg (not a huge deal), has a cheap strap which doesn't hold that well (again not a big deal). Other than that it plays well. Sounds pretty good, not the best quality pickups but those can be replaced but sounds fine as is. I couldn't be happier with the product considering the price. More than a fair deal. Perfect if you just want a decent bedroom player.
Sanderson Ian
I liked this guitar a lot but the one thing in didn’t really like is how it’s shaped because it’s kind of weird to hold like one side is weighted
Frank Mason
I love Donner Products. This is my second Donner electric guitar hanging up in my bedroom/music room. I have been playing guitar for over forty years; I recommend this guitar for beginners and all of us who have been playing music for years.
Jane Kingston
I over all love the guitar, always wanted a Les Paul or SG, I can't spend that amount of money though, not when I am only playing for fun, and have other responsibilities. Purchase as a birthday gift for me I only have 2 non positive comments, 1. There were 2 A strings, in other words the low E was an A string not an E string, since I was going to change the strings anyway that doesn't detract for me from the over all value. 2. The tuning keys do slip a little, but the guitar stays in tune. Number 2 I expected as I had read multiple reviews. The reviews for Epiphone have not been good, particularly at the difference in price. None of those take away from the product I enjoy it and feel it was more than worth the money. I have been playing on and off for 40 years I play to learn and enjoy not for a living, and have only had acoustic guitars this is the first electric I have purchased and I just didn't want to spend too much money during the pandemic.
Troy Hawkins
I play guitar for our church band. I've been using an acoustic with a pickup, but now I can add different sounds to the music.
Matthew Spencer
I was amazed at how nicely this guitar was made. The neck had a perfect concave so that when fretted at first and last fret, there was about 0.01" clearance for each string. It was perfectly intoned. The fret ends were absolutely smooth. The pickups sounded great to me. The finish was beautiful. The tuners seemed very nice. I compared it to the Epiphone in my local GC, and this was quite a bit nicer. In the end, I didn't like the Les Paul form and returned it, but I nearly had tears in my eyes.
Samantha Hill
If you’re just starting out it’s great, only downside is the frets are pretty sharp so you’ll tear up your fingers pretty good
Alfred Almarsson
Looks great..sounds great..husband loves it!!
Mr Charlie Butler
Love it .
JEFFERSON INAIGEL
Nice beginning set. Good quality.
Mr Bernard Lawson
Paint could use some work but overall it's definitely worth the price!

Pretty Guitar

So pleased with this guitar!!!!
Jingxi SHE
Sounds amazing didn't expect it out of a in expensive guitar
Lauren Wren
Sounds good, plays good, and looks great. It black so later I plan to trim in gold.
Mark Griffiths
Stunning guitar, fit and finish flourless, neck & fretwork absolutely spot on, more than adequate pickups, sounds great & plays very nicely. I’m blown away to be honest and now thinking of getting the T style model.I’ve owned more expensive guitars in my past but this has to be the best value for money instruments I’ve ever purchased. I’ll probably change the pickups for something a bit more in your face and the tuning heads only because I like locking heads. Comes with a basic gig bag a nice strap and a very nice quality lead, the strings are 9s I also have a Donner Circle Looper and a 3 in one fx peddle, both awesome well made bits of kit, Donner seem to be a company that actually cares about what they do and their quality control is on the money, in my opinion a name you can trust
Tina Wickett
They accidentally sent 4 so thank you ????
Darren Coe
This guitar is amazing for begging and casual play
GIANLU GENTILESCA

Giovanni Monica
Value for the money. Nice for time being home and retired. Beautiful Guitar.
James Meehan
Very nice guitar for the money. I may just buy one more very soon.
Julie McKee
Very surprised how well it came out of the box.
Robert C.
Watched some online reviews and that persuaded me to buy this guitar. At less than £100 included bag, cable and strap it wasn't hard to decide.
So the guitar looks great, no rough edges, even the frets are decent enough. Maybe it's just me but I don't detect a problem with the bridge pickup as some reviews said. The sound is brilliant. The tuners are the only thing I would upgrade. They hold tune as well as any budget guitar, but when tuning there is some slippage. Not urgent but I will upgrade one day.
The accessories then, the gig bag is decent quality, so is the cable. The strap feels cheap and I will probably replace this as well.
I can say this guitar is amazing value and have been playing it non-stop since it arrived.
Anthony B.
I am really pleased with my new Donner DPL-124B Guitar kit. The quality of your Guitars is amazing. This is my second Donner Guitar and it wont be my last. Thanks
Joe H.
This is my first electronic guitar, so I’m learning and don’t really have anything to compare it to but after looking at some YouTube reviews I decided to go for it.
It arrived well packaged, and after a quick tune up it was immediately playable and sounds great. I’m very happy.
James H.
Great guitar....bought two of them. Unbelievable quality for the Money!
Chris Q.
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!
Christopher Q.
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.
Maverick G.
Great product. No problems or issues. Great service.
John B.
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.
Ian G.
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!
Emlyn E.
This guitar is much better than the price suggests. Great quality & playability.
I'm pleasantly surprised.
JOSE ANTONIO D.
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.
Julian R.
Awesome guitar unbelievable quality and sound for the price
ramesh k.
good product and customer srvice
Jonathan D.
Réception parfaite, très bien emballée et dans les temps.
La guitare est de très bonne qualité, parfaite pour les débutants en tout cas. Très heureux de cet achat.
Sally P.
Very fast delivery. Product as described
HENRY C.
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.
Mathew S.
Excellent guitar for the price.
Quick delivery although the tracking info was a bit sketchy.
Stuart E.
Great guitar for a beginner or more experienced player.
Fantastic quality for the price, no sharp frets, guitar feels quality and looks the business.

Decent guitar for a beginner. looks really cool

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.

Looks and plays great
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.
Michael B.
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.
Mary J
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.

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.
