Donner 39-Inch Electric Guitar Starter Kit with Solid Body

School teacher here. This is an excellent instrument, and even the brand’s logo has a cool retro, classic-rock vibe. The bass is fully adjustable, exceptionally well-built, and offers a level of quality that can easily stand alongside a Fender P-Bass. One thing that really stands out is its durability. These basses are incredibly resilient and can handle the bumps and drops that inevitably happen in school settings. The tuners are stable, hold pitch well, and the instrument offers all the adjustability you’d expect from a much more expensive bass. I’ve become a big fan of Donner and regularly recommend their instruments to my students. In the video, I’m playing my Donner P-bass strung with DR Neon Strings, and the tone is fantastic. For beginners, students, and even experienced players looking for a reliable instrument, this bass is an outstanding value. Highly recommended!

I just started playing and I am convinced this is the best purchase I have ever made. It is very easy to play and after a few mods, it is even better. I put a titanium neck and roller tree mounts and it stays in tune really well. I did upgrade the strings while I had it apart and Man this thing is awesome. I just bought a fender Mustang amp and that is all you need in my opinion. Will definitely buy another just like it but a different color maybe.

I got this Donner electric guitar kit and it’s honestly an amazing starter set for the price. The guitar looks great with that classic sunburst finish, and it feels solid and well-made. It’s comfortable to play and perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to practice at home. What really makes this kit stand out is that it comes with everything you need—including a mini amplifier, tuner, strap, picks, cable, and even a capo. You can literally start playing right out of the box. The amp is compact but works really well for practice, and the sound quality is great for a beginner setup. Overall, this is such a great value and a perfect all-in-one kit if you’re starting your guitar journey. Highly recommend!

Amazing starter guitar kit. I have been playing with this kit for about 2 years now and it have surpassed my expectations. The sound quality is perfect and easy to tune and adjust. The ease of playability as a newcomer was amazing and I couldn't ask for a better preforming beginner guitar.

Super fun to use and hasn’t given me any problems, tuning is easy and the quality is pretty good all things considered

Great for a beginner, but you might wanna get some new and better strings put on it for the best experience. Definitely a solid build, it's got a clean fretboard out of the box and is overall good for the price!

Great guitar. Good value. Nice sound. Comes with accessories. Beginner friendly. Ready to play

awesome! High cost efficiency

As a retiree with little or no musical knowledge (or talent ) decided to take up guitar and did not want to spend a huge amount and not stick with it. Spent weeks going back and forth through various sites. Settled on this one after advice from an amateur guitar player. This comes with its own case which is a little low quality - ok as a dust cover but that’s about it. Spare strings, some pics and a small amp plus cable. Also a small attachment to clip on when tuning the guitar. I have been very pleased as a complete novice - and it’s been absolutely ideal just to learn the very basics. I went ahead and got a stand and a solid case to protect it. To be completely transparent I am not a musician but always had a deep love of music. I find the instrument is comfortable, love the metallic blue finish and find with my very limited knowledge the strings stay in tune with some minor tweaks after several sessions. A skilled long term guitarist would probably find massive issues, as it doesn’t cost thousands from a big maker. But I am very happy with it as a complete starter which is exactly who it is aimed at I think the price is a fair for what you are getting and It makes me smile so good value. I will invest in a top end instrument once my skill level improves. Overall if you are thinking about it GO FOR IT !!

Good

My son loved it. He is a beginner

Best begginer kit. Love it. Good quality.

I was looking for an inexpensive 'beater' guitar that I could take with me anywhere and not worry about damaging it. I own a few USA Fender models and because of their value I didn't feel right about hauling them around. This kit includes all the bits that a beginner would need. In addition to the guitar you get a strap, cord, tuner, picks, capo and spare strings; plus a battery-powered mini-amp. If you're a guitar player then you would already have these items of course...but they are of good quality and certainly great to have as backups (or little presents to any young beginners you may be working with). The guitar itself looks great. The paint job is excellent and it looks very pleasing to the eye. You'd easily mistake it for a much more expensive guitar. The guitar was also very well packed, and I noted that they'd put a layer of protection between the fingerboard and the strings for shipping purposes. My last USA Fender that I bought in 2011 didn't even have this; and as a result there was some scarring on the frets from rubbing strings. But none of that with this Donner guitar. I didn't attach any pictures to this review because another reviewer did; mine arrived looking exactly the same. Quality-wise, I would rate this as equal to a Squier Affinity Stratocaster. The neck was easily adjustable and the bridge saddles are of good quality and very easily adjustable too. The action at the nut was acceptable and I was able to get it set up to my liking in the normal amount of time. Going over the fingerboard with my FretRocker, there were no high frets; an amazing thing for a guitar in this price range. One thing that helped me decide to try this Donner guitar was the humbucker configuration at the bridge; something that you'd pay quite a bit more to get in a Squier. The mini-amplifier that comes with the kit is an absolute blast! Yes, it's dinky but that's the beauty...it's so portable and sounds much better than you'd think. It has an AUX IN jack as well as a HEADPHONE OUT. There is a distortion channel that you can access by sliding a switch on the back of it. The included accessories are of good quality. Certainly better than what you'd expect in a beginner's kit. When you factor in the quality of the guitar, the utility of the amp and the accessories, you just can't beat the value of this package. For a beginner, it's literally EVERYTHING you need to get started. The fact that you get change back from a $200 bill is just amazing to me. I wish I'd had this when I first started playing guitar. I'd have saved myself some serious money.
