The guitar has no problems in my book. I’ve had it for a couple months now, and all of it’s components work beautifully. The mini amp doesn’t have many settings but it’s very portable for when you want to jam out with friends but you don’t have a decent way of transporting a 15lb amp and guitar. I recommend switching string sets since there are much better strings in the market but the extra set has saved me when my high e snapped once and i didn’t have any other strings on me. Overall an amazing beginner guitar for an extremely affordable price.

I bought this kit exactly a year ago to try and teach myself to play guitar. I played drums for 40 years nothing serious just a hobby with my friends until I had a spinal cord injury and lost a lot of mobility in my feet. Since I love music guitar seemed like a good idea, I didn’t want to break the bank on something that I wasn’t sure I would be able to do so I bought this kit. Once my friends found out they helped me tune it up and started teaching me the basics, they were all impressed with the quality and sound especially for the price. The little amp while obviously not great is perfect for learning on and is still cooking along. I’m getting ready to pick up a different “higher end” guitar and that reminded me to review this package. If you’re looking for an entry level guitar to experiment with you can’t go wrong here this is a solid, quality foot in the door guitar.

I'm by no means a professional muscian. I played an acoustic guitar for years and decided I wanted to get an electric guitar, so I looked at multiple items here on Amazon. I'm sure a lot of people are looking at these beginner packages and I can tell you that after getting two of them, I have learned a lot. First of all, the Donner package is really much better than the Lyx with the exception of the amp. The Gig bag is padded, and has backpack straps. The cable is much better, and has a velcro strap so you can pack it up. The strap is ok and the tuner is like all the others and probably all made in the same place. The guitar is very nice looking and this one has the HSS configuration which is great. The mini amp is cute but not very functional except to use at home. It definitely works and can produce some sound but not a lot and it's the kind that some people strap to their belt and play. The Lyx amp is an actual amp and is surprisingly good. From reading the other reviews, it appears it is hit or miss whether you get one that has been set up. I did not. My first pick was the Lyx and it had a few issues, which I reviewed on that product so I sent it back and got the Donner. When I opened the packaging I was impressed with the quality of all the parts, and then I tried to tune it. I tried everything, including purchasing a maintenance kit with all the measuring devices and nothing I did could get the low E string to stay in tune. It would tune as an open string and then if I tried to intonate it ( use the 12th fret, which is E an octave higher), it was sharp. I then tried the whole scale on the string and all were sharp. Ok, so these guitars need to be set up properly and so I went through the process with the help of YouTube and tried to get it to intonate, but had no luck. The B and high E worked fine, but the rest of the strings were not tunable. I even adjusted the pickups to make sure they were not interfering with the tune. Thinking maybe it was me I went to the local Guitar Center to look at a Squier, and it had the same issues. However, when I took it to the in house luthier, he was able to intonate it (using the same process I had done) in a few minutes. Having become an instant "expert" through YouTube, I decided it could be one or more of several issues: the strings, the tuning pegs, the nut or the frets. At that point, I decided it wasn't worth the effort. It's a beautiful guitar, with nice features but if it needs to have new strings ($5 to $10) and then if that didn't fix it, I'd need to take it to the luthier for a professional setup ($50) and maybe change the tuning pegs ($60 for Grovers). I'm sure it could be made to work, but at the end of the day and spending an extra $120, I think it would be better to just get a Fender Squier in the first place. You can get one for $179 on Amazon but it's just the guitar alone. If you want the Gig bag it's another $30 plus $30 for a mini amp, $10 each for tuner and strap and another $10 for capo and picks and $10 for a cable you have a much better package for $120 more than the Donner. Plus, you now have an actual Fender Squier, and I'm thinking the quality control on a Fender even one built in China like these are, has much better quality control. So, if you just want a package and don't want to bother with the other stuff, the Donner is I believe a higher quality package than Lyx, and you may get lucky and have one already set up. But, if not, you may spend an extra $120 on upgrades and a setup.

Surprisingly good quality for how much you’re spending, the amp is small but good for beginners or on the go, guitar itself is also great quality for beginners. It looks and feels really smooth and the sound quality isn’t bad at all.

First guitar had severe fret end issues that I thought I'd take care of myself since I wasn't expecting perfection. That changed when I had an electronics failure after playing for about 30 minutes. Amazon handled the replacement quickly and easily. Second Guitar: No fretboard issues, beautiful finish work and after tuning, the guitar was playable out of the box. Highly recommended for the beginner or someone (like myself) who wants something to plunk around on. The pickups are adequate for that and easily changed out by the more discriminating player. The gig bag is slightly padded and can provide minor weather protection while toting. The included amplifier was a nice surprise. Didn't sound too bad considering the size and total amount paid for the package. All in all an exceptional value for the money. Yes, there was a hiccup, but Amazon and Donner made it right.

Excellent Service ! And the instrument is just perfect, definitely not a simple beginner guitar, all the accessories are impressive in terms of quality, and just the pure joy of opening a Christmas gift and seeing that wonderful sunburst color, I mean. Thank you guys ! God bless !

This is a great kit, I've been playing this guitar for about a month now and have very minor complaints. The fretboard on my particular guitar was a little sharp - nothing a file can't fix though. Other than that, there were 0 blemishes/imperfections on the guitar when it arrived. The Red finish is great, and is holding up just as well. The mini Amp is great for practice, it's small, rechargeable and you can plug your headphones into it if you choose. Sound quality is surprising good for such a small amp. It also has Bluetooth, great for learning to play along to songs, or even just to use as a Bluetooth speaker. Came with everything you need to start playing guitar, tune it and go. Highly recommend this kit if you're considering picking one up.

Good, value for money guitar. Just a bit heavy. Perfect for beginners.

Donner is doing a great job competing with other beginner guitars. I'm coming from playing a Fender Squier Affinity (beginner series) and this Donner guitar is as good if not better in quality of the wood, and components. That said, the components here are definitely all entry level. If you are serious about playing you probably want to replace the tuning heads (as these lose tune rather easily), the strings, probably the cheap plastic nut, and perhaps pickups (though the ones included are pretty good for the price). The neck on this thing is just amazing for the price, and there's very little buzz (though there is some) coming from the pickups. That is minimized if you use the switch to select positions 2 or 4 where you're blending pickups. This buzzing is present on most entry level guitars and electronics so that's not really a deal breaker. In terms of initial setup, I noticed right away that the bridge rests flat on the body, and it should be floating. There are several youtube videos on how to properly set up a floating tremolo bridge on a strat, so you'll want to follow one of those (just need a tuner (I'd recommend one of higher precision than what comes in the box) a screwdriver and that's it). I made a slight adjustment to the truss rod in the neck, but you're probably fine without it. Then I adjusted the height of the strings with the saddles (little allen key that comes in the box) so the strings don't buzz against the frets when you're fretting on the low frets. After that I had to adjust all the saddles (with a screwdriver) to fix the intonation of the guitar. (you want to ensure that the octave (12th fret) is also in tune after you tune the open string). Again guides for that are available online. After all that was done, I now have a strat with a properly floating bridge, that's in tune, and stays in tune when fretting strings. The downside here, is all of the extra stuff that comes in the box (tuner, extra strings, picks, capo, and the worlds tiniest amp) are kinda garbage... You'll want to get quality strings, better picks, a better constructed capo, and a more precise tuner if you're going to be using this for any length of time. What's included is enough to figure out if you (or a friend/family member) likes the feel of playing a guitar, but you'd be better served with higher quality accessories. The gig bag is.. alright, it's a basic bag and will let you store your guitar in a closet or something without it collecting dust. If you're really going to be transporting this guitar I'd get something with more padding. I wouldn't trust the strap... if you're going to be playing standing up I'd get something of higher quality. After all my bashing of the included accessories though, this guitar, is really a steal for the price you pay. After properly setting it up, it would be a great beginner guitar for the first 2-3 years of learning, until you might consider something 2-3x the price. One other thing I'd strongly recommend you purchase is a proper stand for the guitar, you don't want to have to put it in the bag and take it out every time.

Bought this to use to teach my nephew guitar and was blown away by the value in this package. The guitar is very well put together. Donner certainly knows where to cut costs and where not to in order to hit this price point. Fit and finish are great and fretwork is decent. The trem unit is not the best, but it functions, and this isn't something a beginner would notice for a while. Considering the price, I think that's a fair compromise. Someone new to guitar, especially a younger player, could easily be happy with this instrument for several years before needing to upgrade. With a few upgrades (new trem and locking tuners) I would be happy to gig with this guitar, it's really that good. The included mini amp sounds good considering it's size. With 2 channels and a 3 band EQ, there's lots of opportunity for a new player to experiment with different tones. Best of all, the rechargeable battery lives up to expectations with 4-5 hours of play time on medium volume, so you won't be blowing through AAs like with a lot of other mini amps. Donner is very generous with included accessories, and while they aren't the top of the line, they also are a cut above the usual inclusions you'd get with an inexpensive guitar. The included strap is sturdy (though I'd recommend strap locks as a first upgrade) and the cable looks like it can take a beating. There are 2 things you should do immediately when you receive this guitar. First, throw away the strings that it came with and put on some good quality name brand strings. Second, lower the action as it seems to come quite high from the factory. Overall, whether you're a new player or considering getting this for someone in your life who wants to start playing, don't hesitate to pick up this kit. Personally, I'll be buying this again for anyone else in my family who wants to learn guitar.
