GET THIS OVER SQUIER
Color: DK-Black Style: DMT-100
I didn't WANT to buy this guitar, but I couldn't resist. $159 during the Black Friday sale...as compared to $258 during Donner's OWN Black Friday sale. I had actually been eyeing this up for a while. I wanted a "metal" guitar, just for the aggression factor. When Fenderplay was having a deal where you get a free guitar if you sign up for lessons, I jumped on it. for $150, I got a Squier strat, amp, etc....basic stuff for a beginner, thought I'm not a beginner. I had already planned on modding the strat, so I got a HH pickguard and put some Fishman Fluence Moderns in it. It's a good guitar, but certainly not a "pro level" guitar. SO...fast forward to Black Friday, and I see this nifty little Donner that I had been looking at...I figured, what the heck, at least I can mod it. I already have a set of Seymour Duncan Invaders that I planned on putting in it. BUT....I'm not sure I will, now. Shipping was good, it arrived a day earlier than expected. Nothing was wrong with the box, and visual inspection didn't show any problems. Flat black all around, with a dark fretboard. The headstock is REALLY small, like smaller than Musicman small. I was planning on putting Hipshot tuners on it, but just looking at it, I know that the mounting plate won't fit. Nice straight string pull through the nut to the pegs. Everything on the guitar is blacked out, which I like. It comes with a few cool little extras, like the string dampener. The gig bag is usable, but there are certainly better ones out there. So....I start test driving it. There are no sharp fret ends. In fact, the fingerboard seems to be somewhat rolled. It's very comfortable. After tuning it up, I tested for dead frets. Played up the entire neck and couldn't find ANY dead spots. Decided to attempt some alternate tunings. Drop D worked well. D Standard was good, and even in Drop C, there was no fret buzz. Took off the back panel to investigate and there's a pretty cool quick connect system. A PCB board mounted to the 2 pots, with 4 quick connects for the switch, jack, and both pickups. At high gain, there's a noticeable buzzing, which is expected. I just need to turn the noise gate up higher for these pickups than I do the Fishmans. The pickups are slightly microphonic as well. I could hear the screws on the backplate being unscrewed when I left it plugged in, so any bumping will be noticeable at high gain, again, depending on the noise gate. The buzzing is there, but not prevalent on a clean setup. I wanted to be as detailed as possible to provide the best review I could. Overall, I'd say that of the 2 guitars, I would regret the Squier purchase more. I bought both guitars strictly to mod and make them what I want to make them. The Squier required more work than I anticipate with the Donner. The main thing that will need attention is the tuners, they have some play in them, so you have to tune down, then back up to pitch to tighten up the mechanical slack in them...you can definitely feel it when tuning. If you want to get a guitar for a beginner, I would highly suggest this one. I didn't really need to set up anything on it at all to get it working. As I said, neck feels good, frets are fine, didn't check intonation completely, but up and down the fretboard it seems on point. I love the hipshot style bridge, as I've installed the real thing on many guitars. The most important part of a guitar for a beginner is always going to be the neck. If it's uncomfortable to play, then the won't. This one does not disappoint at all. ... show more

Worth the price
Color: Gradient Violet Style: DMT-100
Very happy with this purchase. The weight, the feel, the playability. The strings were on the thinner side and going thicker changed to a bit of a deeper tone. For this price im happy with the quality. I'll be playing this guitar as much as my others and for a long time.

Holy cow!
Color: DK-White Style: DMT-100
I usually don't write reviews but felt I had to on this guitar. I bought this to experiment with and I don't want to screw up any of my PRS guitars. I mainly wanted this guitar because of the fixed bridge and so I can down tune to drop C, etc. First impression out of the box: The guitar has simple,clean lines. The flat finish and satiny feel of the neck is actually pretty inviting. The fit and finish is really nice on the guitar I received - no rough frets, seem to be pretty level. I figured it would at least make a good project/ mod guitar. I had to adjust intonation on only two strings and adjust the action, which is normal. The only critique I have is that while the action is not bad, either the neck pocket needs to be 1/16" deeper or the bridge saddles need to be slightly thinner as I couldn't quite get the action as low as I like and it wasn't the truss rod needing adjustment. Sounds/playability: While you're not going to mistake the pickups for Seymour Duncan or the like they are pretty good for heavy rhythm playing. Running through the Boss ME-80 and a small tube amp I was able to get some good old-school Metallica tones, as well as some newer stuff like Seether. I was originally planning to drop new electronics in, but after a little tweaking on the pedalboard and amp I don't think I will. I really enjoy playing this guitar! I am completely amazed that this guitar is as good as it is. I'm already thinking about buying at least one more to mod. ... show more

Great for beginners
Color: DK-Black Style: DMT-100
A great starter guitar if you're looking to get into playing music. Appearance: The guitar looks great, the solid black is a classic and pairs well with the neck. The material does get smudged from fingers pretty easily, but can easily be cleaned with a microfiber. Has a nice, solid feel to it as well, which was surprising given the price. Quality: For the price, it sounds great. I was genuinely surprised at how it sounded out the box after a bit of tuning. Stays in tune as well. The strings weren't my favorite so I did end up replacing them, but I think for someone starting out on guitar the stock strings would work just fine. Cons: The strap is fairly cheap, I'd definitely recommend spending a few bucks to get a more comfortable one, so the material doesn't irritate your shoulder. Mediocre strings. ... show more

Will need a setup but worth the purchase
Color: DK-White Style: DMT-100
If you’re expecting perfection right out of the box, you’ll be disappointed. I unboxed and noticed right away that the strings were high off the fretboard. I immediately took them off, restrung with my preferred brand, straightened the neck with the truss rod, intonated the saddles (they weren’t too far off from the factory settings), and set the proper string heights. After that, I checked the pickup heights and looked for any defects. No frets buzzed and there were no sharp ends. I found a couple of small finish defects that I can live with, and the pickups sound pretty darn good! The neck feels amazing and the matte finish does as well. Long story short, you should expect that it will likely need a setup right away for it to be comfortably playable, but the bones are good! And not just “for the price point.” If you aren’t comfortable doing a setup yourself, I can understand why some reviews are frustrated that they needed to invest additional money to make it playable after buying. I’m sure there are duds as there are with any brand, but I would certainly feel comfortable gigging with this guitar after a proper setup. ... show more

Not too shabby
Color: DK-Black Style: DMT-100
I had to crown some frets down before I was able to play it and adjust the truss rod because of the overwhelming concave.Having said that, it's an amazing guitar! Strong pickups and fairly low action. For the price, I have no complaints. This thing sounds like a $2000 guitar. If you have patience, it's a great deal. If you're just starting out, Maybe not for you unless you're willing to pay someone to set it up. ... show more

Nut cut to low and bowed neck
Color: DK-Black Style: DMT-100
I'm no expert infact I'm very new and just starting to learn to play... That said although the build quality on this guitar seems very nice overall it seems that the nut on my example was cut too low and seems like the factory intentionally put a huge bow that you could see with the naked eye in the neck to compensate... I ended up popping the nut off and adding a spacer under it to get everything straightened out and it plays much better so that may be something to check out on yours... ... show more

In depth review
Color: DK-Black Style: DMT-100
This is a review of the Donner DMT-100. I’m not sure why Amazon has it labeled a “DK”, but its the newest “metal” guitar from Donner. For background, I am 43 years old and only started learning to play a year and a half ago. I do it as a hobby, playing for myself and by myself. I have no aspirations of playing in a band and don’t have any musical background or education. That being said, I have learned everything I can about proper guitar setup and things I like and don’t like. This is also not my first Donner guitar. My first was an acoustic. Six months later I bought my first electric, the DST-100. This is the experience and perspective I’m coming from with this review, so if you have much more experience, knowledge, or play professionally, this probably won’t help much. If, on the other hand, you’re like me and just play for fun as a hobby or are just starting out, and you appreciate value without spending a fortune, I think you’ll find this insightful. The first thing I noticed was how light this guitar is, probably somewhere around 6lbs. I am completely in LOVE with the matte black finish which extends all the way up to the head stock. After peeling off the plastic and tuning up I checked the neck…it was perfect with a slight bit of relief. No buzz on any of the frets. I used a string gauge ruler to check the string heights at the 12th fret. They were right around 1.8mm on the low E and 1.6mm on the high E. Perfect for me; no adjustment needed. Next I checked intonation. All but the low E were dead on perfect, and that E string was so minimally off that I didn’t even bother adjusting it. The tuning pegs on this guitar aren’t exactly high end, but they’re much better than the ones that were on my DST-100. Those were horrible and I eventually replaced them with HipShot locking tuners. I haven’t noticed much slippage with these ones so I think I’ll keep them on. Also, the knobs and control switch feel really solid, no slop. As far as the frets…no sharp edges at all and no sprout. I can run my hand up and down both sides of the fret board and not feel a thing. They were, however, very gritty. I removed the strings and polished the frets to smooth them out, then wiped the board with conditioner (it was pretty dry). Restrung it with Super Slinky’s and its good to go. Compared to the DST, this guitar required very little setup, at least according to my limited experience. As for sound, well, it sounds great to my limited experience music ears but everyone has their own opinion about sound anyways so I’ll leave that to the pros. But I am so happy with the fit and finish of this guitar. I recommend it without any reservation and appreciate that I’m not paying top dollar simply for a more well known name brand. ... show more
