I played it a couple hours before I made myself stop and and tweak the saddle a little to get it just right. It’s not a perfect guitar, but its overall versatile and good sound, easy playability, and accessories make it well worth the money. The Donner DST-152 test model has a black high gloss finish, a neck made of AAA Canadian maple with a satin finish and C-shaped profile, a 25.

Both of mine are showing their age, so my hope was that this would be good enough for me to retire one of the others. It had an HSS pickup layout, with a 5 way selector switch, and it even had coil splitting, giving both single coil and humbucker tones in the bridge position. Coil Split Function: Equipped with a PUSH-PULL switch circuit, the humbucking pickup can be split to release classic single-coil tones, providing players with richer tones.

If you don’t care much about metal, prefer single-coil tone options, and want accessories with your guitar, Donner DST 152 is a better option. Using a tuner, then play the fretted note at the 12th fret (depress the string to the fingerboard), and compare the reading on your tuner to the reading you got when playing the 12th open harmonic.Neck relief checking: We check the neck relief by pressing the string on the first and last fret with the relief set up correctly, the height of the string above the 8th fret should be measured at about 0. 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. Only issues I could find are the front pick guard has an almost unnoticeable blemish on the edge, and the back plate did not have a beveled edge like my previous donner guitar, which I smoothed out with a nail file.
