I bought this to modify . The neck and frets were good and only needed a polishing. I replaced the tuners pickups and nut . I also swapped out the tremblock with brass and installed roller bridge blocks. The pots I also changed with a obsidium wire kit . The paint was nice and I donated the amp and asseseries to good will . I would not hesitate to buy another one to mod .

This is a great guitar they call it a beginners guitar but it's far greater than that I swear this thing plays as good as my squire I have 7 Glarry Guitars but only one Donner but the Donner's are about to multiply now that I know what Donner's all about It's really a quality guitar.
Michael A.
Product is great for the price, not disappointed whatsoever. I put a set of D'darrio strings on it and cleaned up the frets a bit. Now it plays like a dream. 10-10 recommend for new players.
Jodie B.
Great buy super fast shipping. Quite impressed with this purchase
Robert M.
This guitar played as well as a Fender Stratocaster. For the price and all the extras that you receive is frankly unbelievable!!! I love this guitar and glad to add to my collection, which is a acoustic Martin with a electric pick up and a 1963 Rickenbacker! I also had another Martin that I gave to my best friend and I also gave my son in law my Ovation. You give and you receive, that’s the way it works!! Everyone just love music and each other. Life is short, you only have moments in time, day by day. So enjoy your music and respect each other. Thanks Donner!

Fast shipping. Everything came working. I'd recommend this set for a beginner like me. The strings don't cut my fingers, the neck is smooth and the guitar is pretty.

It plays as good as a fender. Looks and feels like one to. I'm well pleased with mine.

Guitar arrived on time and had a fair amount of fret sprout but after I dressed the frets and polished them it plays great and has spent the last week as the guitar lm using regularly not bad for a budget guitar.
Benny L.
Very curious how this is priced so low when compared to other low budget axes. Very happy with the purchase. Neck was really impressive at this price point!!! Everyone should own one, it definitely exceed my expectation!
Jery A.
It looks great, and I bought it just for wall art. So it serves my needs well.
John B.
After much research of various brands & options, I bought this for my grandson (age 10) after watching the YouTube review by Darrell Braun Guitar. After receiving it, it truly was just as Darrell described it. In short, I was blown away by the quality & tone (rivaling my Fender Player Strat) and all of the accessories. I know one boy who will have a very memorable Christmas this year. Thanks Donner!
Jerry H.
Love the guitar and the service was great

All items good for a great price, thanks!

I've been really happy with my Donner HSS strat-style guitar! I've been playing for decades and have owned classic US-made guitars from Fender, Gibson, Guild, Epiphone, and others. I've also built some guitars. I can't imagine a better value than the Donner DST-100R package. The guitar alone is worth the price, but to get a pretty heavy-duty gig bag, practice amp, good quality cable and strap, electronic tuner, capo, picks, and an extra string set (did I forget anything?) Is unbelievable. The quality and build of this particular guitar is so good that I can't find ANY fault with it. The fret job is about perfect and the finish is pretty flawless. It was even set up well, and I only have done minor height adjustments to suit my individual preferences. It holds its tuning as well or better than any expensive name guitar I've had. Of course as is always the case your mileage may vary. It has a nice fast and playable neck. The pickups aren't the most high-end (how could they be?) but they do a decent job, and I think a lot of people would no doubt be very satisfied with them. Everyone has their own ideal sound in mind. This is a great package for any electric guitar beginner, or even more advanced player, and a nice extra guitar or basis for modding by more experienced players.

This is the perfect beginner Strat style guitar! I picked it up on sale and could not be happier. I just put new strings on and adjusted the intonation and it sound like a guitar three times more than what I paid for it…. Definitely recommend for beginners and intermediates alike!
john w.
Hey guys, really like the guitar bundle. Great for beginners. And also for someone who has been playing for some time. Good quality for the price. I have been playing for over 40 years. It is an awesome kit. Thanks Donner.
Nathan M.
Excellent beginners guitar
Mark P.
Everything you need is in the kit, really nice workmanship for the money. Whether you’re beginner, intermediate or pro this is a lot of fun for the money. Very cool little amp too
Kurt T.
Thank you, Donnerdeal,

The guitar was well packed, beautiful finish, and needed no adjustment. All of the accessories worked, and the price was great. Yes I would recommend this product to a friend.
Mitchel M.
I Saw this while looking at Dominique's Instagram page and asked where I could get one, I couldn't believe the great price for all the items... I guess I did miss the sale, by a day or so where I think the Donner Electric Guitar, Case, Small Amp and all the other stuff was dropped from $150 ish to $99 or so, but hey, I felt like I got a great deal and Love the package - What a value for anyone that wants to have a nice looking and sounding Electric Guitar.. it's AWESOME!! Love it.. Now to toughen up the Fingers!! Lol!
dennis l.
very nice guitar, was disappointed, that i paid $140.00 , and the next week the same guitar went on sale for $99.00
Brad S.
Only needed a minor adjustment to the truss rod, otherwise tuned it up was perfectly playable right out of the box. Fret board is bound and frets are dressed. Quite happy with my purchase. The portable amp is icing on the cake as it's just loud enough for practice without a computer.
Ross N.
This was a great starting kit for my granddaughter. She loves it. The quality of the guitar is very good for the price. I only had to do some minor adjustments on the setup. Other than that, it is surprisingly a nice starter kit. The only additional items you might need to purchase would be a guitar stand and maybe a hard case.
Terrance G.
Super Strat for the price. Real playable, stays pretty much in tune if you don't work the whammy bar too hard. The little amp is fun, wouldn' take it out of the road, lol, but might busk with it one of these days. Stroke of genius making it USB charable, only thing you forgot was a belt clip to make it eminently buskable, lads.
Mike M.
The Box was all tore up when it arrived it was retaped and the coroner was missing The volume on the guitar is very low It's been trying to contact customer service with no response The guitar itself looks very nice
Edward M.
Very pleased with the new Donner Strat package. Got a strap, cord, picks, capo, mini amp that are all very good quality. Guitar is playing great: strat tones and easy action.
Ron P.
Guitar is well made at this price point. You basically can't go wrong.

I took a guitar class back in college, so I am by no means a pro, but my elementary aged son has been dying to play the electric guitar. We started him off with a super old regular hand me down guitar to see if he would keep his interest. He watches videos to teach him how to play on prime, and loves it!
Peter H.
Excellent quality for a low priced guitar. No complaints with workmanship, no complaints with frets impeding neck action (no sanding required). Quality finish.
Customer service above and beyond.
Will recommend this company anytime.
Ray
Although the box arrived pretty beat up, the contents all arrived safely. This is an incredible bargain. The guitar plays nicely after tuning and the extras make this the perfect starter kit
Matt
I play acoustic most of the time. I like to play for my kids to help them wind down at night before bed... but have been wanting to mess around with power chords and grinding out some heavier rock....
The Donner came through like a champ. Seriously can't believe everything you get at this price. Excellent deal.
Barry S.
Great Products, fast shipping!
Oluwadamilola D.
It’s great and I love it!
Todd B.
I ordered the blue, you sent yellow. The screw on the bridge pick up fell out when I picked up the guitar.
Steven B.
Bought keyboard and guitar everything great, except guitar is wrong color
James S.
Great guitar to start out with! You really get everything to start including a capo and a padded bag. The neck was dry so needed an oil up and the humbucker was much louder than the single coils so an adjustment was needed but otherwise it's a solid, gig-ready guitar.
Seth L.
Pretty amazing for people who just want to start playing guitar.
Raymond P.
I just love this guitar. I was a lifelong Gibson user, but I gave my 1973 Les Paul to my son, who can make it sing. I’m older now and just wanted something to play around with. I saw your add online and then looked at some YouTube reviews. I decided to give one a try. I’m sure glad I did. Everyone was right, your guitars are well made, great value, and a pleasure to play. Right out of the box, I was playing in no time and haven’t stopped since. Well done, Donner, I’m a happy camper.
David R.
I ordered this guitar and love it. Even made a youtube video about it.
Hyatt B.
I'm a beginner and have mostly practiced on an acoustic Yamaha and an epiphone Les Paul. It sounds good to me, I did lower the humbucker a bit.
Andrew S.
I played it through the mini amp, cute lil' sound. Played it on my amp, I like the sound, & the action is good, a really nice feel of the guitar. I like it very much.
richard
Wow I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of this guitar. It plays and sounds great. The tuners are fairly high quality for the price. The controls work very well. The only issue was the frets. They were sharp. It was easily fixed with a little filing, This is a great guitar for the price. The accessories that come with the package were pretty decent too. The little amp was very impressive. It’s not loud but it has a great sound and the distortion works great. A perfect guitar for the beginner, and just about anyone else. As I said the fret ends are slightly rough but a little sanding of the fret ends is an easy fix. Highly recommend this guitar.
Ethan
The fit and finish of the guitar are surprisingly nice for the price. The neck has a smooth satin feel and overall it plays rather nicely. The pickups aren’t bad for the price either - the bridge humbucker is full but cuts well and sounds especially good with overdrive/distortion (skip to 2:05 in my demo for an example). The tuners aren’t the greatest, but they get the job done and could easily be replaced in the future. Overall for a strat-style guitar with the accessories that are included, at this price range it’s a great value with pretty good quality!
I recorded a demo playing straight into the included amp with no effects and recorded using the “headphone out” feature of the amp.
Buckley Z.
Everything you sent me was broken. The mini amp doesn't work even though it's charged and connected while the guitar itself has a rattling string and the pickguard already has damage. I don't think I'll be buying anything from you anytime soon.
CKM
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
David C.
I purchased the DST-100W and am blown away by the quality at this price point. After watching several youtube reviews which were generally positive, I confess I was still skeptical. I prefer acoustic guitar but purchased this for a change of pace and am thoroughly impressed. For the beginner or intermediate player this guitar will not disappoint.
