To be a guitar for beginners, it is very complete, of good quality and easy to adjust. Read more

I was looking for an inexpensive 'beater' guitar that I could take with me anywhere and not worry about damaging it. I own a few USA Fender models and because of their value I didn't feel right about hauling them around. This kit includes all the bits that a beginner would need. In addition to the guitar you get a strap, cord, tuner, picks, capo and spare strings; plus a battery-powered mini-amp. If you're a guitar player then you would already have these items of course...but they are of good quality and certainly great to have as backups (or little presents to any young beginners you may be working with). The guitar itself looks great. The paint job is excellent and it looks very pleasing to the eye. You'd easily mistake it for a much more expensive guitar. The guitar was also very well packed, and I noted that they'd put a layer of protection between the fingerboard and the strings for shipping purposes. My last USA Fender that I bought in 2011 didn't even have this; and as a result there was some scarring on the frets from rubbing strings. But none of that with this Donner guitar. I didn't attach any pictures to this review because another reviewer did; mine arrived looking exactly the same. Quality-wise, I would rate this as equal to a Squier Affinity Stratocaster. The neck was easily adjustable and the bridge saddles are of good quality and very easily adjustable too. The action at the nut was acceptable and I was able to get it set up to my liking in the normal amount of time. Going over the fingerboard with my FretRocker, there were no high frets; an amazing thing for a guitar in this price range. One thing that helped me decide to try this Donner guitar was the humbucker configuration at the bridge; something that you'd pay quite a bit more to get in a Squier. The mini-amplifier that comes with the kit is an absolute blast! Yes, it's dinky but that's the beauty...it's so portable and sounds much better than you'd think. It has an AUX IN jack as well as a HEADPHONE OUT. There is a distortion channel that you can access by sliding a switch on the back of it. The included accessories are of good quality. Certainly better than what you'd expect in a beginner's kit. When you factor in the quality of the guitar, the utility of the amp and the accessories, you just can't beat the value of this package. For a beginner, it's literally EVERYTHING you need to get started. The fact that you get change back from a $200 bill is just amazing to me. I wish I'd had this when I first started playing guitar. I'd have saved myself some serious money. Read more

For a starter kit, it's a great buy. The little amp that comes with it is very impressive for its size. The guitar sounds good but it does lose tune occasionally and can be a challenge using a tuning app. All in all though, my son loves it and it was an affordable way to let him explore his interest.
