This is my first electric guitar, I have brought, with the intention of learning to play guitar at the tender age of 63. It is a very nice piece of kit and sounds great. Thought at this price it would have some downside but I can't find one. Ideal starter guitar set-up, all that's left is to make some music.
Happy Happy Happy.

First thing I will say is it arrived very well packed. Even though there was some damage to the box all inside was fine. Its a great package for a beginner or even if you just want a cheap strat style guitar that you are not so worried about leaving about the house. The first thing I did, as I do with all my guitars, is put some decent strings on it and give it a basic set up. I also oiled up the finger board, it was really dry, and polished the frets a bit. The neck was straight right from the box and the intonation was fine. There were no sharp fret edges either. The action was high but that was soon put right. It plays great now, sounds nice and I would put it up against a squier no problem. It would be a great platform for modding as well if you wanted to try that kind of thing. I would totally recommend this package.

I bought 3 of these guitar packages on the black Friday deals as they were such good bargains, one for myself as i didn't have a strat style guitar, and the other 2 as Christmas presents. Straight out of the box they needed tuning but apart from that they were nice and playable. As is the case with most guitars, not just cheap ones, the strings weren't great so i swapped them out for some decent ones (ernie ball slinky's) which made a huge difference. While i was doing that i cleaned and oiled the finger boards and gave the frets a bit of a polish. Also set the intonation and just gave them a check over. This has made them real nice to play. The sound from the pickups is real nice for budget ones and the quality of the guitar is way above the price point even at full retail price. The amp that comes with with kit sounds ok and is handy as a little practice amp or travel amp. The strap, gig bag etc is a nice bonus and is good quality.
Delivery was nice and quick from Donner and they kept me up to date on the delivery progress. It was well packed and turned up with no damage.
So.. i would highly recommend the guitar package and donner were great with postage and packing. I have also bought some of the pedals from Donner and they are great budget pedals as well.

Haven't opened it yet as it's a Xmas present. But if it's anything like the quality of the telecaster I bought from Donner then I'll be more than Happy. Excellent quality products at very affordable prices. Roll on Xmas.

This is an awesome guitar. The amp has a great sound but broke shortly after I used it. But the guitar came in great shape and the sound is amazing.

Good product great sound you will need to buy a good amp
Erick
I love it, it is my firts guitar and I am loving it. I had to buy another amp becuase the one that comes with it wasnt really good, but other than that the guitar plays beautiful sound and it stays on tune for hours.
nelson mendonca
Being a total beginner I didn’t know what to purchase and what to expect when I purchased this setup. Couldn’t be happier. Can’t tell you how good or not good the actual guitar is because I am not a musician and have never, ever, played an instrument. My opinion, well worth the money and would recommend.
Galaxy Starrr
Ice been playing for 24 years now, and I wanted to find a cheap guitar really quickly, and this one came to my doorstep in the mail, within 1 to 2 days of ordering it, it came in great condition, it plays and sounds really well and really good. It's a great guitar for beginners and for players that have been playing for a while. I did some work on it added in new pickups, a new pick guard new knobs. But before I did anything to it, it sounded beautiful, played well has a comfortable feeling when you play so it's well worth the money.
George Rentezelas
An electric guitar perfect for beginners. For the price it's sold at,its one heck of a sturdy guitar. My son can't stop playing it. Only complaint is the amp that it comes with is pretty much useless but youre really paying for the guitar. Alot of great accessories as well!
Jorge
This guitar kit comes with everything you need and for how much this cost, the quality of the guitar is so much better the the asking price. If you have any problems with anything in the guitar kit then contact their customers service, there customers service was really good and they helped me fix my issue that I had with the guitar kit. So if you have any problems, their customer service will help and where a great help. Out of all of the guitars I've bought this has to be one of the greatest one for it's price, especially the mini Amp which sounded so much better then I expected and trust me you will not regret buying this if you are looking for your first guitar. The guitar kit is great and the customer service is great so you should definitely get this if you are starting out.

This came nicely packaged.
It's beatutiful. Sounds nice. I was very impressed with the feel and quality for the price.
Mark Bartlett
The neck is straight, fret ends are smooth, truss rod was actually right on the money, and the finish itself is fair. The fretboard and neck are more or less raw wood which is fine to a point. My kid is learning, he doesn’t care. I’d spend a few hours fine sanding and oiling the neck if I had to play it a lot but I’ve got a Carvin DC400 (among others) and I’m spoiled, so there’s that.
Samy K.
Interestingly enough this kit actually hits a pretty large audience. For a beginner this is an absolutely perfect kit with everything they’ll need.
Roboberto
This is a great starter package for beginners. Has everything you need to get started. The little amp sounds pretty good and you can plug headphones in. The guitar itself is a quality build with a great finish. It tuned up quickly out of the box with no adjustments necessary (beginners shouldnt really be doing adjustments other than tuning IMO). Holds a tune even after 3-4 days of 45min practicing so far.
Raymond J.C.
The guitar has a nice weight to it and the hardware seems fair or comparable to other $100+ guitars available. The guitar struggles to hold a tune. You're gonna need to buy good Quaility strings and possibly install a new nut and string trees to achieve a playable instrument. However, I bought this guitar as a platform to modify and develope luthier skills. The speaker amp is not worth anything. Don't consider it when deciding which guitar. The in included battery operated tuner is cool.
Alan S.
Sounds as beautiful as she looks! Don't wait around to make up your mind this is the best deal you're going to find and quality to boot!
Billy Booth
Keep in mind that this is a beginner level guitar and not targeted toward guitarist that have been playing for years. That being said, I am actually really impressed with this guitar and the rest of the kit.
Guitar:
The materials are lesser grade (tuning heads, pickups, bridge etc.) as you expect on a beginner model guitar, but the overall its put together well. The neck is a bit more bulky than I would prefer, but it feels pretty good with a satin feel. The frets are dressed really well. I've several student level guitars and the frets usually dig into your hand, but that's not an issue with the Donner guitar. It also looks like it's even made from actually wood and not cheap plywood. I haven't taken off the pick guard to check though.
Amp:
The amp was much smaller than I had expected.The distortion channel seems to only have one level of distortion, but the clean channel is pretty decent. It even has a built in battery and is extremely easy to pick it up and move to a different room (which is nice for the parents of aspiring guitarist).
Accessories:
The cable is good quality. I use Donner cables on my own pedal board. The tuner arrived broken, Donner quickly sent me a replacement. I was really impressed with their customer service. The capo is so good. I tried it out on a couple other guitars and it seems to work well. The strap, picks and strings are also good.
Overall, this guitar kit is a really good value for the price. I've been playing guitar for 13 years now and actually found myself having fun playing this guitar. I would recommend this to a freind
Ana Velazquez
This is my first guitar EVER so I can’t really give an input from experience BUT my package came in 2 days earlier and handled nicely. Also I found it sweet how much they offer for the price, the color is beautiful I couldn’t stop starring at her , the weight seems reasonable (not too light or too heavy ) they even gave me some help by showing me the basic guitar notes . The amp is rechargeable so you can take it with you , the toner is clutch cause I know nothing about tuning and they even gave you the battery for it. Also extra strings. It’s perfect to start of so you can determine if guitar is really for you instead of spending a lot of money on a expensive one. I say go for it :)
Fiona
Outstanding beginner guitar. Well made and tunes easily . All accessories are quality. Amp is quite loud for such a little guy. Perfect gift for my budding 13 year old rock star. Works beautifully with Rocksmith for the Xbox. Great program that will give his of guitar lessons and games to learn the ropes. Just find the game with the cable included. Automatically updates to latest edition with all new rock songs and classics.

I have expensive guitars which I'm afraid to take out of the case whenever we have a drunken jam, so I needed something relatively inexpensive but reliable I could have around for such occasions. I wasn't disappointed with my choice.
Features:
- Comes packed like a newborn, well padded and in its case. Well done Donner!
- Excellent workmanship on the body and neck considering the price point
- No fret sprout which is again very nice to see at this level
- Once set-up it plays like a dream if you know what you're doing in terms of neck/action adjustment and intonation
- Sounds great with it's little rechargeable amp as a strat should
- Ridiculously generous set of accessories, I really don't know how they do it at this price point
Would have liked:
- One in red, but I'm just being picky. I think the blue also looks quite nice and I was split between that and the sunburst.
All in all a great instrument that serves exactly the purpose I wanted it to. It won't be your Wembley number one but it will be a great jamming machine which you are not afraid to treat with a bit of passion due to its sturdy build. Well done Donner!

This is a really good guitar package for a very fair price. It is better quality to other guitar packs I have tried. The guitar is nicely finished and plays well. The accessories are also a cut above entry level The guitar arrived well set up and sounds very "Stratty" so full marks there. There is no stand included (If you're getting a comprehensive package a stand would be nice) and there was a little bit of fret sprout on frets 15 and higher. Not a big deal and an easy fix but still...
All in all a very good guitar and accessories package for a good price. A Bluetooth "aux in" circuit for the tiny but decent sounding amp would be a great addition and would make the package that much better
