Donner Electric Guitar, 39" Electric Guitar Kit HSS Pickup Coil Split, DST-152R Beginner Set with Amp, Bag, Capo, Strap, String, Tuner, Cable, Picks, Metallic Ice Blue

Product Information

This can cause especially single-coils to produce unwanted hum and buzz when there’s radio- or electromagnetic interference present. Removing it, the tremolo shows 3 springs and a pretty thick block made of cold-rolled steel that gives the instrument better clarity, sustain, and stability. The pickups get minimal 60 cycle hum when using high gain even on position 1 which was very shocking. Otherwise, for intonation considerations, if the necks' screw holes line up with the same frets then that should mean that saddles don't have to be moved forward or back much. We also recommend that you wipe the fingerboard with a dry, delicate cotton cloth every time you finish playing, so you can prevent dirt buildup.

HSS Pickups: Korea-made Donner humbucking pickup provides just the right amount of gain, releasing warm, clear tones.I had to admit that the crunch tones were the ones I least enjoyed with this Donner, but it doesn’t mean this axe sounds bad with crunch, it just was just not my favorite use for this guitar. It does have a little bit of a buzz on the higher strings, but its a simple guitar to learn on and experiment with.

For any beginners on a tight budgetlooking for a complete starter set, this kit is definitely worth your consideration. The 3W practice amp includes a rechargeable internal battery, 2 switchable channels (clean and distorted), minijack aux in, and minijack headphones out.

and the mini amp is no half stack, but it gives a variety of sounds and has a built-in distortion setting. Neck relief refers to a small amount of concave bow intentionally created in the neck of a guitar or bass by adjusting the truss rod. It should also be noted that the DST-152 is one step up from Donner’s mega-budget DST-100 strat style guitar, and sits below their Seeker series strat, the DST-400, which we will be reviewing at a later date. I tried my player series Strat neck, and it seems to fit, but the lip of the strat neck seems to be a little higher than the Donner.

Donner Electric Guitar, 39" Electric Guitar Kit HSS Pickup Coil Split, DST-152R Beginner Set with Amp, Bag, Capo, Strap, String, Tuner, Cable, Picks, Metallic Ice Blue This is our second Donner guitar, we also have their acoustic. One of the highlights was the aux in feature, which allowed us to plug in a phone to play backing tracks through the amp. After replacing the strings, you’ll notice that the strings will keep going out of tune until they have acclimated and stabilized the pitch. A couple of things that are not great for beginners are the bad setup and poor quality control that can happen.With 2 vintage-style single-coil pickups, DST-152 electric guitar creates 7 modes sound to meet multiple needs with less noise. The action was too low out of the box and that caused some fret buzz and a not-so-fun time playing this axe. From the style and color (I got metallic blue with white detail) to the almost buttery feel and handling, all before plugging it up to the included amp make it so.

For me, this doesn’t really matter since I mostly adjust the tone knobs and only sometimes turn the volume to around 8 instead of 10.They're still not as precise as a more expensive set, but they are a marked improvement and don't take nearly as much fiddling. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. After the string replacement, please cut off the excess to avoid damage to the human body or a guitar gig bag/case. If the neck relief is properly set, the guitar that buzzes above the 12th fret or across the entire fingerboard will likely need the string height/action raised. Whoever put this kit together had some great attention to detail and the authority to make their decisions stick.
