During this pandemic, my friend and I wanted to learn a new hobby together. After hearing our friend’s kids learning to play guitar and showcasing their new talent, we decided that we wanted to learn how to play also since I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the guitar! This is a great beginner acoustic guitar because it comes with everything that you need to get started. This beginner bundle comes with a full-size 41 inch dreadnought acoustic guitar, strap, tuner, capo, picks, pickguard, extra strings, cleaning cloth and Allen wrench. This even comes with a padded backpack to store and keep your guitar protected and is easy to transport and take with you. The tuner is very easy to use simply by clipping it at the end of the guitar and will indicate if the string is tuned or not. The only thing I wish was that this was smaller because I feel like a 41 inch guitar is a bit large for a beginner like me. This is a beautiful guitar made of a solid spruce top with laminated mahogany back & sides with a glossy finish. It’s so pretty and shiny! Not only does this look nice, but it sounds nice and rich as well. My other friend who has been playing guitar for years came over and I showed her this guitar. She tested it out and played it and said that she was surprised and impressed at the sound quality considering this was a beginner guitar. She says this is a great value for everything that I got and was surprised it came with all of the amazing accessories!

For the price of this guitar, I am seriously impressed. It comes with a tuner, picks, a capo, and a band for you to carry. I have tried playing it as a beginner and I have already learned a lot of the chords! I am frankly happy with this purchase because the strings are very strong as well. I tuned it up all alone in the beginning and it sounds very nice when ever I am playing it!

Great budget Guitar

Great guitar. Sounds really good, and looks great too! I own 2 acoustic guitars, this Donner DAD-812 and a Rogue RA-090 (cheap ￡99 guitar). While the Rogue is playable and great for beginners, it doesn’t sound nearly as good compared to the Donner DAD-812. I also like Donner strings a lot, too bad they are out of stock. I own a Donner Ukulele too and I like it a lot. I’m very satisfied with Donner products.
Jamie Wilson
I am so happy with this purchase! The quality of this guitar for the price cannot be beat. It comes with everything you need including a tuner, very nice bag, extra strings and more. It has great sound and is the perfect guitar for using as a more experienced guitarist teaching a beginner. It looks much more expensive than it was. Great quality and look.
Ben Cockerill
I liked the overall craftmanship and smooth finish for a cheaper guitar. It takes a while to tune it properly.The sixth string at times has a little buzz to it and i found you have to adjust that one quite often. I took lessons many years ago for a year, I use the product to relearn the guitar again from scratch and aspire to reach at least , an advanced beginner level or a little beyond that.
Helen Briggs
I'm not a professional and this is my first ever guitar and I am very pleased with this guitar. It came with all the accessories inside and the sound quality is superb. It looks awesome and made with good quality materials. Nicely designed and well packaged. It's worth for the money and highly recommend to others. If you are a beginner and looking for a quality guitar, this one is perfect in your budget.
Francesco Pansini
jI'm just a beginner, and this sounds pretty good enough for me. very clear sound.
Allan Roy
Music has always been a passion of the heart for me and I love the sound of a acoustic guitar. Wanting to learn to play one I finally started saving money to purchase a beginner guitar but financially purchasing one seemed very difficult over the last few months which in turn I felt I would end up settling for a less expensive guitar that wouldn’t sound great. But later on down the road a friend recommended purchasing a Donner Guitar and the price was right for my budget with several options and colors to choose from. When I received my package my perception was so wrong about settling for less this one was everything I ever wanted and needed..what a great value for anyone’s budget! As I started my lessons I began to appreciate the craftsmanship and the light color I chose was spot on. It came with many extras and a case to protect the instrument. Has a great look and feel as I learn how to handle and practice in class. It’s been fun to play, stays in tune, and makes me appreciate music even more. It’s been a pleasure to learn to play this guitar and even though I’m not a professional I would recommend this one to anyone that is starting out.
Andrew Gibbs
Nice guitar for beginners. Soft sound, easy to tune up, soft strings and easy to carry it anywhere since it’s not heavy at all. I love how it comes in a case, new package of strings, and others stuff that are needed.

The Donner acoustic guitar is a great instrument for beginners. This guitar comes with a plethora of accessories as you can see in the picture above. The carry case is very sturdy and fits snugly. It also holds all the accessories. The guitar is very light weight and very easy to pack and carry around. The guitar is excellent for beginners and definitely highly recommended.
Cameron Zeki
The media could not be loaded. OMG this guitar is freakin amazing. Warm sound, warm bass, nice reverb. You can do either finger style or guitar solo with this guitar. 160￡ish for this guitar deal is amazing, you get all needed accessories (capo,strap,tuner,bag,picks...). Good for beginners and intermediate players. I went to Guitarcenter few weeks ago but cannot find any cheap guitar and good quality.
Mary Harvey
The only thing this didn't come with was a guitar stand but I actually had an old one that this fits inside of. The guitar itself is great for beginners but I've been playing for years. However, I am currently teaching my son and since he is a beginner, it's been great for him to learn on. The tuner has been really great and helpful, especially since I'm trying to teach him how to tune it himself. The guitar itself isn't too heavy but again, isn't too light. Luckily, it did come with a strap that is really comfortable to wear, especially when I've been playing this for quite some time and doesn't leave marks like my old one did. The case that this comes with can be either worn has a backpack or just be held. What I love about the case is that everything this guitar comes with actually fits inside of this bag. This not only makes it convenient but helpful so my son or I don't lose it. The guitar plays absolutely beautifully and even after playing for either an hour or several, the strings are all still attached and I have not had any issues with them popping off. Great guitar for beginners or experienced players.

The Quality is very good. My bother love this guitar. The packaging was very safe no damage , and all accessories are all in the box. I will recommend this seller.
Luca Magarotto
The tabs are sharp like knives. I had to file each one smooth so I can comfortably play the guitar. It plays/sounds nice and the bonuses are a great plus considering the low price.
Lawrence Garrett
This beautiful Donner acoustic guitar in full size was simply a perfect first acoustic guitar for my son. He is taking lessons and we wanted a nice new one but did not want to spend a fortune, make sure that he would keep it up. This is a 41" dreadnought guitar bundle. So, it comes with all the goodies, gig bag, tuner, picks strap string This beautifully crafted guitar is solid Sitka spruce on the top with laminated mahogany back & sides. The slim neck provides a very comfortable feel for his smaller hands and excellent playability according to his instructor. The smooth satin finish maximizes resonance for optimal sound quality and it also looks great. Has all of the perfect sounds or what our teacher tells us the right frequency, in low, full and mid-frequency both great for beginners enthusiasts. With the gloss finish my son was very happy when he pulled this acoustic guitar out and it came with so many features. No need to get any other add ons at first this is ready to go right out of the nicely packaged box.
Toby Brimson
Well made guitar that comes with all the kinks. It is a great beginner guitar made out of quality materials. I like the fact it comes with accessories like the strap, guitar picks, carrying case and more. It also comes with a guide on various cords, useful for beginners. The price is unbeatable and great option for anyone. This is a must have product for the price and quality.
Gareth Neely
Winner!! Great sound and quality
Tracey Walker
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I did not expect this product to be as good as other known brands. The quality of the sound and the actual guitar is good. I cannot complain since the price is way cheaper than the banded ones. I also like the other accessories that comes with it. I think tho is a good package for a starter. I recommend this for teenagers who are in the process of learning to the play the guitar.

I liked this guitar so much right out of the bag I had to take a little extra time and have a friend of mine, who is a professional guitar teacher and working musician, run it through the paces and give me a read on the quality of the instrument. His thoughts: "This feels like a really well-made guitar. This shape is popular with guitarists of all levels because it creates bold, powerful sound. This instrument seems to be made from some very nice wood, mahogany I would guess, that combined with being well made gives it excellent sound quality. Looking in the bag, It includes all the essentials, as well as a capo. Which is a very hand accessory to have. There is a tuner, some picks, and a strap.... pretty much everything you are going to need to get going. This is a nice playing guitar that's well-suited to beginners. It sounds really good. I would have loved to have something with a sound and action as nice as this thing for my first guitar." When I told him how inexpensive it was he called me a liar. Then I showed him the price online and he saved the link. I am guessing a few more students will be buying this guitar. He placed a "beginner" guitar by a popular manufacturer in my hands that was priced conservatively 3 times the cost of this Donner and it was disappointingly not better at all, certainly not 300% better. I have been toting this around for a month or so. It has been to the beach, a few Bon fires, and camping a few times. It holds tune well and the strings settled after a couple of weeks. I have loved every minute of traveling with the Donner and my friends have all commented on how nice a guitar it is. It has been played by dozens of folks and not a single person has complained about anything to do with it. Most have complained that I did not bring two. I hope that helps.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I love playing guitar. It is my 3rd guitar. My 2nd acoustic guitar broke when I was shifting to my new apartment so I ordered this. I was searching for a acoustic with resonable price and I found this guitar from donner. I have to say I am very happy with this guitar. I liked it right out of the bag. It comes with ready to play mode. Strings are of high quality and overall built is owesome, laminated and glossy finish,and the sound is rich with good quality tone. It comes with all the side items required for the guitar like digital tuner, bag, a strap, picks, capo, and many more. It also comes with extra strings. Technically it sounds perfect beginner guitar, all the resonant frequencies are perfect, tunning is pretty easy, size is really good and easy to hold. The strings are closer to the base so the sound is enriched. Overall, I am happy with the cost and what I got. I am happy with the sound and built quality. Only downside is it is not electric acoustic but in my case I have my first guitar with electric feature. I would recommend to the beginners as it got all the assoceries with it, comes in playeable mode right out of the box and can be easily tuned.

This starter bundle was perfect for me as a beginner and allowed me to start my music journey without having to worry about missing any accessories. For example the guitar strap I didn't even think about but was very glad that it was there. The guitar itself looks really nice and sounds great. Tuning with the included guitar tuner was intuitive and even as a beginner I was able to do it without a problem. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Sound is beautiful. Been playing it since I got it from day 1. I like that it is light . I used to have nylon string and I compare with this guitar it feel clearly sound and crisp! It also came with tuner, pick and a shoulder strap . Happy with my purchase!

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Warning: we're still learning the guitar, so this may not sound perfect. It does come with a tuner tho, so don't think it's not a good sounding guitar based on how we play. We bought a Donner guitar earlier this year and absolutely love it, so when we decided to purchase another guitar so that my husband and I could play together, we knew we would buy another Donner one. They make a great line of beginner guitars. I decided on this one because it came with a lot of extras. One of my strings broke and it was an easy fix with the replacement strings that they include. All the strings are labeled so you know exactly which one it is that you need. I found a couple cheap beginner books at a local thrift store that I'm excited to start learning from over the summer while I'm off, one of which was Taylor Swift songs!

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. While I’ve had the pleasure of coming close to mastering the piano and clarinet, I’ve never come close to playing one of the most popular instruments that’s recognized for its sound on a global scale - the guitar. Now that I’ve gotten into singing and since I can’t carry a piano with me, I decided to try a new beginner’s level guitar (after a bit of research) to just give it a shot - and I’m happy to say that this is a fine instrument. The overall build of the guitar is well-made. While I don’t have much knowledge of other acoustic guitars to compare from, it’s light, a bit bulky (but that may just be due to my size), and it doesn’t feel like a cheap board made of scrap wood. When it comes to the distance between the strings and the board, which I heard is really important to ensure than fingers don’t have to strain more than they have to (the closer, the better), it’s quite close and requires little effort to actually meet the board below. It has a nice, glossy finish as well, and comes with many, many accessories. While I’m not entirely sure what they all do, I’m nearly certain that I’ll be using them at one point or another (See attached images). In terms of sound quality - again, I don’t have a large sample size to grade this from, but I am more than pleased with the sound. The guitar strings don’t feel cheap and produce a good quality sound - one issue that I’ve had, however, is that they require frequent tuning. After doing some more research, I’ve found that it occurs mainly in new strings as they require time to settle. I have noticed that the strings are slowly becoming more in tune as time goes on. Overall, it’s not the best quality guitar out there from my limited knowledge - but for the price, as well as the accessories it comes with, it’s a fine beginner’s instrument to chose.

Delivery was delayed but customer service replied when contacted and informed re delivery. Guitar was well packaged and good value for money.
Maggie Hodgkins
The guitar itself really surprised me with its value for money, I've bought guitars twice its price for worse quality. It comes with all strings already attached saving any set up hassle so it's ready to play immediately. The sound is superb and it's easy to play.
Barnaby Brown
Comes with everything you need
Jose Santos
This is my first guitar, and I am so happy with my choice and purchase! The guitar is so beautiful, sounds great and feels like it is high quality. I love that it is solid top and made with spruce and mahogany. It also came with everything needed to start playing right away!

Donner makes a Great package. Everything needed for my grandson. Super gloss finish. We used a full size guitar mount to hang it on his wall.
Ross Lewis
I am so happy with this purchase! The quality of this guitar for the price cannot be beat. It comes with everything you need including a tuner, very nice bag, extra strings and more.

I wanted to have a guitar since a long time and this is the first one I got. I would say, it's great for beginners from tuning easily with provided accessories to playing. It's all in all a great package. I recommend buying it.

Good quality product.

This is a solid instrument at a great price and excellent quality. I ordered the full body, which has a great tone, but I wanted to order the model with cutaway. It is shipped securely and has some amazing accessories saving a trip to the music store. My most serious criticism is that Donner does not offer these affordable models with a solid spruce top with electronics!
Sebastien
Shipping: The guitar was very well packaged, guitar was well protected and arrived with no damage.
Look and finish: This is a beautiful guitar, the front, back and sides look great and the finish is perfect. I especially like the black headstock and tuners
Playability and sound: I simply tuned the guitar and I was ready to go. The action is good but can easily be adjusted to your preference and they include the tool to do it. Sound is clear and loud like you’d expect from a dreadnought guitar.
This is a wonderful instrument, I'm very happy with this purchase.
TC
This is an awesome guitar for the price. It looks great, has a full and resonant tone, and rich lows and highs. The guitar itself came with a padded gig bag, picks, a chromatic tuner, a strap, and Allan wrench, an extra set of strings, and a couple other accessories. Out of the box there were no problems with the guitar and it played fine. There were no problems in the finish as far as I could see. The only downside is that the guitar is not acoustic electric, so you are not able to plug it in directly to an amp or audio interface. Overall, though, it’s a great guitar.
Laura
This is my first guitar, and I am so happy with my choice and purchase! The guitar is so beautiful, sounds great and feels like it is high quality. I love that it is solid top and made with spruce and mahogany, which you can't find at this price point from the "bigger" name brands. It also came with everything needed to start playing right away! I highly recommend this guitar or another Donner brand guitar.
