Surprisingly Wonderful
Color: Black Style: Satin
I'm a self-taught player who finally was able to pick-up a guitar after retirement. I'm certainly not a great player by any stretch, but I do enjoy doing what I do finding song chords and messing around with fingerstyle play. In this journey of about 10 years or so, I've played numerous guitars...no different than a lot of 'music store rats' trying out various guitars, some that we can afford, and many that we can't. I've played and owned Taylors and Martins and a number of other high reputation guitars. I only mention that to provide you, the reader, with a perspective. I've come to find out that people who own guitars don't just own one, or two...probably more like 5, or more. Guitars are very personal. We obviously are very picky about their sound projected, how they feel and play and numerous other things. And so we think we like a guitar, buy it and then find out perhaps it wasn't the best choice or perhaps, and I'll use the phrase that I've read from others so many times, 'it's time to thin the herd!' My guitar journey has brought me to some realizations. I'm not going to play professionally.....Ha! In fact, other than that very occasional, mostly infrequent opportunity, I play for me. Every now and then I will play around the campfire for others etc, but usually it's me and perhaps my poor wife hearing me behind the closed doors. Another realization. You don't have to spend ridiculous amounts of money to either get quality or an excellent sounding guitar. I've played and purchased a few Eastman guitars that were/are incredible, great sounding guitars at a fraction of the cost for those top brands. It seems some guitar players have as much interest in owning those top brands....sometimes several of them....in fact will list them on forums like badges of honor, which I find most interesting. How many guitars does a person need? And finally, I realize that I know what I like. I have a pretty decent ear, something that has helped me considerably on my journey. I know there are many, many folks much more skilled than I am at a lot of things. Additionally, as I mentioned, guitars are very personal and assessments of them very subjective. I've tried guitars in music stores that were reviewed extremely well by multiple sources, some 'professional', and I was struck by how much I disagreed with their assessments. And so, I come to this little guy that I purchased a week or so ago. A quick side-story that leads to this. I have a brother who seems to have a similar interest in learning to play the guitar. Had a rather large Yamaha and although it was a nice sounding instrument, I advised him for learning purposes perhaps he ought to think about a short-scaled, smaller guitar. I did a little research for him and found this Donner guitar. He didn't want to spend much money.....check. It had pretty strong reviews. Sold his Yamaha and bought the Donner. He shared that he loved the feel, the sound...was really happy with his purchase. One day, he visited and brought the guitar. I was so impressed with this little guitar I ordered one. My 'go to' guitar that is always at my fingertips in my office has many battle scars. It has had many accidents in its life, cracked in a few places, yet still sounding decent. And it will find a new home. My wife and I have learned in our 'older age' when we are considering a purchase of something....'One out...one in.' This guitar will serve me incredibly well, I'm sure. It is extremely comfortable to play with its reduced size. It's extremely lightweight and is just a pleasure to hold and play. You can have all those things going for you, however if it doesn't sound good to your ear, you're not going to want to play it and you'll be 'thinning the herd' again soon. I've often heard smaller guitars described as having limited, 'tinny' sound. I'm amazed at how balanced the sound is. It's rich, full with nice highs and I can't believe the low end on this thing. Perhaps this might be one thing some will not find appealing about it....the low end is significant and some may find it overwhelms the mids and highs. Again, personal preference here. I like it. Donner describes its ability to get this kind of sound is from its unique bracing...I'm also sure it's from the carbon sound board. The richness of its sound and sustain are so surprising. It also stays in tune remarkably well. The guitar seems to be of high quality. I've looked it over thoroughly and I don't notice anything about it that reveals its pricepoint. So, finally...price. How a guitar that I like as much as I do (read into this my above War and Peace novel about perspective!) can be had for less than $200 is beyond me. If you're a beginner, like my brother, or not; if you want a guitar that you don't have to worry about dinging or whatever because you want to travel with it, or just have it for daily playing, I'd strongly suggest you would consider this guitar. I honestly think you'll not be disappointed. ... show more

Beautiful sound, easy action, unique, affordable quality.
Color: Brown Style: Satin
10/17/2025 My original review is below. Donner’s warranty service team apparently kept looking into my issue after I thought i was stuck with a dud and decided to send me a replacement guitar. Judging by the overall glowing review of this guitar (part of why I bought it in the first place) I’m going to assume the one I’d initially received had a rare defect. The replacement appears to be identical in every way so no obvious modifications were made in manufacturing. A very hearty thank you to Donner for continuing to look into my issue and deciding to make good on their warranty! I’ll give 5 stars instead of my initial 2 because this really is an awesome guitar with wonderful sound at a surprisingly affordable price and now I know it’s backed by a real warranty. I’m impressed and even having to wait for a satisfactory warranty resolution doesn’t shake it earning 5 stars. Thanks again, Donner! — Original Review: — Such a lovely tone and aesthetically beautiful guitar. Bright with a deep bass and rich fullness of sound. Very pleasing. Unfortunately the adhesive holding the internal wood bridge supports to the carbon fiber face failed forward of the bridge two months after purchase (post return window). This resulted in a bulging face forward of the bridge, sinking face before the bridge, a bridge tilting toward the neck under strain, and a surprisingly de-tuned guitar when I returned from a 3 week trip. A cracking sound while re-tuning was very unsettling and likely from the supports further separating from the face under increasing tension. The guitar was stored in its case but the steel strings may demand too much from the adhesive. Or I got one with a manufacturing defect. I contacted Donner about the issue and their response was to take note of the manual’s warning about heat. They don’t have a temperature listed but possibly the black case absorbed heat and rose the temperature beyond their limit. I suggested they tab the carbon fiber to the bridge supports in future runs instead of simply gluing it. Hopefully you will have no issues. I’ve stored my Martin, Yamaha, and Takamine guitars in their cases without this issue so personally I feel either Donner uses a subpar glue or mine had a manufacturing defect they’re unwilling to acknowledge. Beautiful guitar, beautiful sound but be extra careful with yours. The one I got was certainly not built to last very long. Below is their note on care which may be all they’ll send you if you encounter the same adhesive failure I did. ————— Important Note: To prevent deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage to your guitar, please avoid storing it in the following conditions: -Direct sunlight (e.g., near a window) -High temperature (e.g., close to a heat source, outdoors, or in a car during the daytime) -Excessive humidity -Excessive dust -Strong vibration ... show more

This is a deal
Color: Black Style: Satin
Looking for a beach guitar and found this. It came with strings loose. I tuned it up and adjusted the truss rod to straighten the neck. I thought the action was high (4+ mm at the twelfth fret). Frets were well-polished and ends well-rounded, the nut was well made, the bridge was well-compensated. The fretboard radius was very comfortable, feels like a 12-inch radius. It felt good, sounded good and looked well made. I took 2 mm off the bottom of the bridge and now it plays as well as my other acoustics all the way up the neck. It's light and loud, fun to play. I am now looking at eventually changing out the tuners, but the keys are holding tune well so far. I have 3/4 scale guitars, don't like them and this is full scale (24 3/4 inch). Much better than my first guitar. And, the price is amazing. I give it four stars because I had to do a little set-up to get it to play like I want it to. ... show more

The satin version sounds way, way better than the gloss!
Color: Black Style: Satin
Update **** I bought the satin version 1st and it’s great. But I bought the gloss version recently and there’s a huge huge difference in tone. It looks amazing in gloss but the satin version sounds a lot better. The gloss dull the sound. Still not bad tho but I think more people would be happy with the satin version.. **** It is really impressive. I've been playing since 81' I buy sell and repair guitars. I was expecting to do some work on this guitar. I switch out the strap buttons which wasn't needed event the ones on the guitar are quality. The strings are even good. It stays in tune. If you know what your doing, stretch your stings. Action is low, neck was great. It a thin neck. Finish was great. I might put in a pickup but that not needed it's pretty loud. Oh I have one thing the shape of the pick guard is odd. But its optional and easily cut. I think they did well. ... show more

Great guitar at this price point.
Color: Brown Style: Satin
Two days of ownership is too soon to make an accurate review but in those two days I have spent some time with the guitar. First off, mine needed attention (setup) to be able to play it, action was high. Once a proper setup was done, it became a very playable guitar. Workmanship in general is beyond anything I expected at this price point, excellent fret work and finish. The sound is amazing, loud, crisp and plenty of bass, I’m not an expert on carbon fiber guitars, I’m thinking CF has its own unique sound and it projects very well. Though it is a light guitar, the wood neck is heavier in relation to the body and there is some neck dive. Mind you, all acoustics have some neck dive, this one is more noticeable, but I can adjust to it over time. Original strings sound good for now. Cool gig bag and accessories included. ... show more

Dinner Rising g1 guitar outstanding in all respects!
Color: Brown Style: Satin
The rising g1 is absolutely incredible guitar in all respects - received the guitar in flawless condition. Sound and playability is top notch! Adjusted the neck to super low profile with no fret buzz and intonates spot on. Higher register frets resonate and hold the note. Installed an x2 double wireless rechargeable preamp pickup dual mode with volume controls for standard and mic pickups. Fits perfect and sounds great thru an acoustic amp bringing the natural acoustic responsiveness of the guitar to an amplified production. The guitar acoustically even when not amplified sounds fantastic! Warm tones accentuated by the mahogany back sides and neck and resonates like a Taylor due to the carbon fiber top! I ordered the brown satin matte finish. Looks amazing! The g1 neck profile is c shaped with 42mm nut width my personal preference over 43mm which is incorporated in the g2. Go play one see for yourself! ... show more
