  • Great Guitar. Compariae to Squier Affinity. READ ME for mods. O
Style: DST200-Poplar Body Color: Void Black
I’ve owned and consistently played the DST200 for 7 months now and comparing it to my 5 Squier Affinitys and 2 Bullets (Teles and Starts) purchased over the past 6/7 years from Amazon because these guitars are in the same price and quality categories and I’ve had adequate time to make a fair opinion. Over all it’s a great guitar and surpasses a Squire Bullet but falls short of the Affinity line which was my unreasonable expectation considering the $70 difference. It probably falls the middle of a Bullet and Affinity but I would chose the DST200 over a Bullet or Sonic due to the over all feel, primarily the body wood which I think contributes to the overall tone, an idea debated in some circles (the tone wood conspiracy lol). I’ll try not to repeat what’s all ready been said so my points are it really is a good feeling guitar to play, kind of thin but setups and inotates very well contributing the overall tuning. The black finish is professional and top notch! The electronics sound great and the additional splitting humbucker is useful. Some players don’t prefer the ceramic pickups but they sounded good to my ears lending to all the classic Fender tones in all 5 switch positions with the added push/pull switch for the bridge humbucker (a nice competitive idea from Donner). The plastic nut was cut perfectly and the original Donner tremolo is good and compatible to a stock Squier vintage type. The frets are smaller in diameter compared to the larger fender/squier which could make or break a player’s opinion but I’ve accepted it (still like jumbos for the feel and longevity). Now swapping out parts could be a problem, I’m always modding and found that some of my numerous loaded pickguards didn’t fit resulting in drilling extra holes for the 11 screws, the horn portion didn’t exactly line up and the tremolo template was slightly off and required some shaving. I swapped out the stock tremolo for a fender gold vintage and it was a perfect fit. The body is the same size of an Affinity meaning it’s smaller than the standard Fender Strat. When I replaced the stock tuning machines with gold vintage F-hole Fenders I found the holes had been reverted back to a smaller diameter with plugs then redrilled for smaller holes as if Donner was using larger tuners at one time. These “plugs” popped out when I tried to replace the original retainer rings so I had to tap them back in and repair the cracks and splits with wood filler, sanding and a repaint which brings me to an inconsistentancy, in the stock pictures the headstock is shown painted black but mine was a natural finish. I just painted mine with black lacquer and buffed to a professional shine. I also swapped out the pups and pots for some better alnico brand and rewired the split humbucker switch to go series/parallel (personal preference) and I stayed with original Donner pickguard as others didn’t exactly fit. I also kept the cheap import 5 way switch but will swap it eventually as the cheapies get scratchy over time and using. I replaced the stock boat input plate and jack with Fender and found a slight difference in size but nothing significant I’ve also replaced the plastic nut with a high quality precut bone, this is new territory to me as further adjustments are needed like recutting slots due to string buzz and intonation problems but it was a perfect fit in the slot (found an exact replacement on Amazon with the same measurements. This is important!!) I also sanded down the clear satin finish on the back of the neck with some expensive nitrocellulose amber colored lacquer, personal preference. I don’t usually review products but I’m passionate about guitars in general and hope these details are beneficial to anyone. Play, mod and learn! ... show more

  • Who needs a Strat?
I have the Void Black DST-400. Packed in a gig bag within the box... undamaged. No blemishes on finish. Guitar is indeed a Solid Alder body. Pickups are pretty good. The mid and neck pickups are hot. Now, this guitar has some weight to it, but that's ok. I haven't played a guitar like this since the late 80s. It has all the sound characteristics of a Fender Strat, but not the price tag. The tremolo works fine even though I personally never use it, and the action is a tad higher than what I'm used to playing but I can fix that no problem. The tuners are very good. This guitar surprisingly has better sustain than I thought it would have given that it's a Strat style guitar. The tone and volume knobs don't crackle or make any noise when adjusting. I have had some budget guitars where that was the case. The fret edges could use a little smoothing out but other than that, they're fine. The fretboard on mine is gorgeous. The nut is plastic, but decent. The humbucker is very well balanced and has a high output. In a nutshell, for the price... you could not ask for a better budget strat. It sort of reminds me of a Charvel I had many moons ago. Get them while they are still available. I can say this was money well spent. Budget guitars can be hit or miss, and in this case... I've got a bullseye. I played this right after unboxing it and after some tuning, I was actually taken back at how good it sounded. The neck feels good on this one but there is no skunk stripe on the back, like the one that is pictured on Donner's promo pics. I might buy another if they don't sell out first. Bottom line, I'm happy with this purchase and I have a newfound respect for Donner. I might just start investing in Donner instruments from now on. ... show more

  • Decent guitar all around
I've loved the feel for it, I see others complain about the frets sticking out, but mine came silky smooth. The pick ups are great, I wasn't expecting to be so happy with them. Tuners hold a tune pretty well, I can tune it up at the start of a jam session and it'll stay, and I do a lot of full step bends and vibrato in my playing. That last one leads into the next part, I don't care for the tremolo bar, I appreciate the drop in bar, but I don't use it. The strings will detune the second you touch it, but that's been my gripe with the tremolo bars since I first touched an electric guitar. The next downside is a bigger issue for me, I didn't check out the internal hardware of the guitar when I first got it, but I have to now. The ground wire is no longer doing it's job, so there's a electrical buzzing sound coming through any amp/speakers I play through if I'm not touching the strings. Overall though, it's worth it. I'm not a professional guitar player, but I've played for twenty three years now, and it's a step up from my squire strat I got new 21 years ago, and feels about on par with my Schecter Diamond series from 06' ... show more
