Donner DST-152R Review (In-Depth) - Outstanding Value!

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

If you liked the review, hit the thumbs up, it helps out a lot! 😊 💥FROM FEARFUL TO SKILLFUL… There's nothing worse than feeling totally awkward when starting to play… But this alternate picking habit of the pros will change that for you... Note: If you finally want to find the solution to clumsy alternate picking....this FREE guide is for you.: subscribepage.io/RdCBKR

Thanks for this. I got mine last week and even as a raw beginner (their target audience methinks) I did notice the things you mentioned pertaining to the tuners and the electronic tuner. Other things I kind of thought too, but being so new wasn't sure. That said? I'm really happy with it so far and having a ton of fun learning.

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

You're welcome. Awesome that you got yourself involved with the guitar! And great that you like the new axe of yours... now just keep practicing every day!

Thank you for your kind words Rick! I will keep it up, thanks for commenting and greetings from Finland! 😊👍

[@nigeltufneljunior]

Very in-depth review. I like your reviewing style 👍 Too many gear "reviews" on YT are just demos or look more like a commercial for the product.

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Thank you! Yep. The most popular ones are like that, unfortunately. It's great that we like the same style👌 Thanks for commenting!😊👍

[@dclipper8052]

1:36 It's pretty amazing that the company would send a demo guitar out with such a crooked neck, as revealed by the extreme string spacing misalignment at the fretboard edges.

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

I agree. That was a mistake on their part. But otherwise, this was pretty solid.

[@dclipper8052]

@@guitaristnextdoor8430 Yeah, on the things that really matter, they seem to get universally good reviews. The neck's a quick and easy fix.

[@martinaclarke6883]

Very comprehensive and in depth review ! loved it ! thanks !

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Thank you for saying that. Awesome if I were able to help!

[@BENfromSUNDIAL]

I bought a different Amazon guitar brand called Tostar and it was also surprisingly good compared to what I'm used to in a beginner guitar, but with the worst tuners I've ever encountered.

[@itsyeko]

yo about the wood of the neck, it says here that its a maple fretboard for the black and sunburst variants of this guitar, and the white / poplar blue variants have laurel fretboard.

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Hello! That is probably true, these specs have also changed a bit after I uploaded this. Thank you for commenting!

Hieno esittely ja kiva kanava! Nice video and keep on going!

[@valueofnothing2487]

So the bridge pickup wasn't too dark with the 250 k pot? I don't think I've ever played humbucker with a 250k pot. I do like them for the single coil.

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Not too dark IMO.

[@alainvey]

Thanks for the detailed review. How heavy is this thing?

Hello :) Do you recommend this one DST-152R or DST-100R from donner? this one seems to have better features?

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Hi! I haven't played the 100R, but I would personally go with 152R. At least my copy was a rock-solid budget guitar :) Thanks for commenting!

[@MrWins11]

Hello there could ou please tell what is the neck radius of this guitar?

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Unfortunately I don't know, I already sold mine and I didn't measure the radius. There's no radius info on the manufacturer's website either. But based on playing this guitar a lot, the radius is in the 9.5"-12" range, that is only an estimate tho. Thanks for commenting! :)

[@monmac1165]

Hello GND.....is it true this guitar is a shortscale 3/4 size guitar? Can you provide me the scale length please....thanks....

[@guitaristnextdoor8430]

Hello to you! It's not a 3/4 sized, that's for sure. Seems like a normal 25.5" to me. thanks for commenting!😊👍
