Style: DST200-Poplar Body
Color: Blossom Pink
The famously boasted brand on the YouTube channels have us aware of their presence. By chance we see this model including attractive color scheme, vintage-correct appointments like bent-steel saddles, split shaft K-style tuners , push-pull splitting bridge humbucker , knock-out price. Full thickness body. included strap, decent cable with soldered end jacks, wrenches to adjust saddle height and truss rod (essential to tweak the action just right from the shipped 'happy medium' setup. neck carve is substantially comfortable familiar in feel. pickup tone is satisfyingly rich and throaty humbucker with gain, single coils sing their familiar smooth quacks and clucks & Srv bluesy snarls. I won't be 'upgrading' (or 'sideways-grading' -as it tends to be with pick ups), these perform well. And a gig bag included! Q C is respectable all around. I was hesitantly skeptical , yet am pleasantly surprised at the instrument delivered. Stretch the strings, apply Dunlop 65string cleaner & conditioner lowered the strings a pinch and tightened the truss rod less than a quarter turn, backed out the trem springs in the back to free up the Whammy play and it's inspiring with sound and feel. Classy and modern functioning strat-a-like that is not uncanny valley in the design department,familiar and functional and most of all FUN!

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!

Playing this guitar for the last 3 days and I really love it. Bought 2 other bargain priced guitars and this one is my favorite.The guitar plays great and feels easy and comfortable. Most of the tones I'm getting sound great! I have Fender MIM HSS Player special with a Floyd Rose trem system, Love my Strat! Being totally honest, after I gave this Donner the tune up detailed below, I think I like the feel of the Donner better than my $900 Strat! Not comparing tone , just ease of how it plays and feels in my hand. So why don't I think this guitar is good for beginners even though its a great value even after spending additional money to get it right. Out of the box this guitar felt pretty bad. The finish is just okay. Listed as transparent Black, it appears just a low luster black until you look real close. You can just make out the wood grain through the black. could have used a bit more time on the buffing wheel as well. I'd say its a 3 out of 5 in the looks fit and finish department. The neck shape and satin finish on the back of the neck are great. The fret board was dry but a decent piece of Rose wood.Just needed a little lemon oil. It comes with a set of .009 -.042 D'Addario strings.... that had been sitting long enough to begin to rust. With a new set of strings I attempted to tune the guitar but it soon became apparent that the tuners were junk. If you're a beginner and don't know how decent tuners should feel or work, you might think you were doing something wrong. One of the tuners was slipping so bad it was almost unusable. So I ordered a new set of locking tuners for about $40. about the minimum for a usable set. The nut was cut okay but would need a little TLC. The fret work looked pretty good but there were about 4 frets that needed a bit of tapping down and even some leveling and minor re-crowning and a final polish Fret work is not difficult if you know how to do it and have the proper tools. This kind of Fret work runs about $75 or more if you need to pay someone to do it for you. The stock tremolo system (whammy bar) is pretty much junk. At first inspection its looks good and has a large trem block even though it appears to be some kind of pot metal , not brass or steel as it should be. After an hour of tweaking and adjustment I only managed to make marginal improvements in the feel but zero improvements in tuning stability even with new locking tuners and nut cut properly. There are many tremolo systems available and prices range from $20 to over $200 not including installation. Another task a beginner wouldn't want to attempt. I'm Hoping to find a suitable replacement in the $50 price range probably a Wilkinson. Until then I just don't use the whammy bar.or it will immediately go out of tune. Lastly the electronics. I'm actually very happy with the sound of the two single coil pickups and the humbucker in the bridge sounds okay clean to light couch tones. A high gain pedal and the tone and clarity suffers considerably. Changing pickups is another job I don't recommend a beginner attempt but the good news is the stock pickups are fine for a beginner as well as the stock electronics. I'm changing the bridge Humbucker to an EVH WG. At $169 new that pickup costs about what this guitar does. I got lucky and found an open box one for sale for $79. I'll most likely upgrade the pots and switch as well but they're working fine for now. I honestly think this guitar is a great value. With a total out of pocket of less than $500 I'll have a fantastic playing and sounding Strat type guitar. I just can't recommend it as a good beginner guitar unless you have a friend who is a guitar tech.
