Purchase way above its weight class!
Style: DST550-Poplar Body Color: White
Bought this one for my father and he told me to write this. In his words, he is very impressed with this guitar. The neck is really smooth and easy to handle and the locking tuners keep it perfectly in tune even when using the tremolo bar. The HSS pickup setup gives a ton of tonal variety from clean blues to heavier rock sounds. It arrived safely packaged and only needed a minor tuning adjustment. Absolutely worth the money for anyone looking for a premium feel on a budget. ... show more

Well Donner, I'm Surprised...
Style: DST550-Poplar Body Color: Ice Blue
I've been playing guitar 45 years and have owned dozens of guitars and amps. Back in the 70s a $35 electric guitar was practically unplayable. Recently I set up a Squier strat for a friend and it ended up being as good as an Am Std. So I took the plunge with the DST 550. Out of the box I was pretty surprised at the overall look and quality. 7 lbs, balanced no neck dive, nice C shape carve. I was able to get VERY low action with no issues, and it didn't require shimming the neck. Within hours I dug in and put some vintage wind Alnico 5 single coils in for a huge tone upgrade. The pots are those tiny ones so eventually I'll replace those along with the humbucker. It was wired strange as the bucker read 14k or 8k split, but the middle and neck pickups were reading wacky numbers. The new ones I installed are reading 6k middle and 7.2k neck. So it has lots of quack at the in between settings now. A great project guitar for a long time player gigging guitarist, or a beginner just as it is. ... show more

Wow. Just wow.
Style: DST550-Poplar Body Color: Ice Blue
This thing punches WAY above it's weight class. Features: roasted maple neck, locking tuners, Gotoh style two point trem, SSH pick ups, comfortable neck joint for easy access to the upper neck. It plays as well as some of my guitars costing 4 or 5 times as much. Having said that, that was not the case right out of the box. It definitely needed a set up, but after that, holy shmokes. Pick ups aren't the my favorites, but I've definitely heard worse on more expensive guitars. Locking tuners and the two point trem is surprisingly stable and stays in tune, once the strings are properly stretched, and freed from the string trees. Fir the price, not only would it be an awesome guitar for someone starting out, but you could gig with it after a set up. I'm probably going to swap out the pick ups, just because I have a box full that I want to try out. Anyway, grab one. It's as good as it looks (like an Ibanez AZ) at the regular price. Get it when it's on sale and it's an awesome deal. ... show more

If you're looking for that killer guitar for cheap this isn't it.
Style: DST550-Poplar Body Color: Ice Blue
Ok, first the neck is fat as hell..think fat strat. My first experience with a roasted maple neck and the look is good but if you ignore the roasting and look at the grain underneath it's just a maple neck with no frills. They say there's a process to strengthen the neck. I say the neck is strong because it feels like a railroad tie in your hands..I mean fat. Never played a fatter neck than this one. Also the neck is not compound radius it is same throughout which makes it harder to play some things in some places...like Jimi for me. The fret ends are pretty noticable on your fingers but they don't cut the skin. The locking tuners seem pretty good and function well. The nut could have been rounded at the ends a little nicer but is fine as is and slotted correctly. The fret ends could have been much better and made with better material as we're beginning to see stainless frets with ball ends at this price point. I love the truss rod functionality I've never owned a guitar that had this type of rod adjustment...I like it a lot. The satin finish on the neck is very smooth and with the roasting is pleasing to the eye. On to the body!!... I got the blue color and it reminds me of my old '96 Mex strat with exact same deep sparkle blue color but less lacquer on the Donner than the strat. Electronics work well and knobs and switches are all placed appropriately. The pickups are very sterile and will need to be replaced but at least they have an evenly sterile sound that isn't too displeasing to the ear. I found the back of the body at the neck joint the most interesting and yet completely useless feature of the guitar. When I looked at pics I thought the nice upper and lower cut aways were functional and would help your hands get closer and therefore allow your fingers to reach the upper frets easier......WRONG!! These cut out literally do nothing at all. As I looked at my hand holding the guitar as high on the neck as possible as if it were playing on the last fret. I noticed my hands don't even come close to cradling in those spots and neither cut out os needed in order to easily reach the upper frets. So.....one of the main features of this guitar is absolutely useless and non functional. At this price point there are definitely better choices out there. However this is still an excellent beginner guitar for a fair price. If you take it to a guitar tech and have it setup and the frets filed and leveled then highly polished this guitar will play and feel as nice as much more expensive guitars. The question is do you really want to spend around the cost of the guitar to have the work done on it to make it playable? I could not or would I ever take this guitar straight to a gig...that would be a bad night waiting to happen. I forgot about the bridge which is nice and works smoothly. Seems substantial and not super thin metal or anything. Lastly, the guitar was obviously sold and returned as the plastic over the pickguard was halfway off and places that were supposed to be taped up (protective paper over the strings) were untaped and hanging loose. I'm not a fan of buying certain things from Amazon because of this. The box was mishandled and torn at both ends due to the box being stuffed in the truck but the guitar wasn't affected, it was out of tune but it's winter so that is probably why. Mine has scratches and noticable handling marks. ... show more

Solid Guitar for beginners
Style: DST550-Poplar Body Color: Ice Blue
Started learning on this guitar and it is solid for the price. I’d recommend it if anyone is trying to learn but doesn’t want to spend too much money before knowing if they’ll actually go through with learning it

Not good
Style: DST550-Poplar Body Color: Ice Blue
Gonna have to give this one a zero. Saw some decent reviews on it so I thought it was worth a shot. Build quality is worse than a squire but the real nail on the coffin is that none of the pickups worked at all. I got some scratchy noise out of the neck pickup at first. Tried the 5pos switch and changing the volume around and then I go no sound at all. Returned the guitar the next day. ... show more

I love the color so much, I got so many compliments. Blue isn't even my favorite color but when I saw it on TikTok I had to get it. This icy blue color fits so well with that wood brown.
