About this deal

With some exceptions (see cons), the overall fit and finish is good, particularly at this price point.

The truss rod cover is impossible to remove with the strings in place. Not a big deal as I often loosen the strings and spread the 3rd and 4th strings apart anyway if I need to tighten a truss rod, but it’s kind of a stupid design.Headless Guitars have been/still indeed are all the rage. They look like something from Star Trek, and they lead to convenience and Avant guard design. In this review, I'm going to be diving into a new offering from the music gadget company Donner. This is a silent acoustic guitar that could fit most conceivable places. I may have gotten a return item because the truss rod cover is chipped and there are surface scratches from strumming. The names of the models give a hint about the nuances that the models feature. For example, the letter “C” in the name indicates the cutaway shape, the letter “L” signals the left-hand option, and the letters “B” and “S” are about the color variations. The letter “E” shows that the guitar is electro-acoustic and has a built-in pre-amp. Finally, the letter “M” indicates that it is a 3/4 size guitar. The tuners are sealed, and it feels that they hold the tuning firmly. The nut and saddles are made out of plastic which is more than expectable from a budget guitar. They can be easily and cheaply upgraded to better material ones. I mainly think missing shielding as a real con because most guitars from this price have had shielding on them, so this guitar missing the shielding makes it a bit below the average in the electronics department.

Donner DAG-1CS the sunburst color option of the DAG-1C model. The only difference between these two guitars is that the 1C model features a natural wood color while the CS model has a sunburst color. This full-width guitar comes with a dreadnought body that makes it comfortable to hold, regardless of your playing position. It also comes with a set of special coated dura-tone strings that are soft and easy to strum. This combination of features makes it the ideal guitar for serious learners. As I mentioned before, Donner DAG-1C and related models are specifically made for beginners. It is a straightforward acoustic guitar with basic specs and everything you need without luxury. It can be easily said that the model features a lot of value for the price. It is the perfect guitar for players beginning their journey as a guitarist who does not want to break the bank account.

The intonation is also crucial for acoustic guitars since it is hard to readjust, especially for acoustic guitars. The DAG-1C thrives on this aspect, too. The intonation of the guitar is indeed spot on. The sound is mostly bass. That may be improved by swapping out the cheap plastic nut and saddle for bone. IF & Good Design Awards ] The Rising-G PRO won world-class design awards for DONNER's new carbon fiber technology and innovative design, including Donner's exclusive DO body shape, rounded body curves, innovative offset soundhole, and lightweight design(4.49lb). I can’t deny it…I just love cheap guitars that are actually good. When you have bought a guitar and find out that it offers outstanding value for the money, it’s a good feeling.You might have gotten even more than you paid for. But are Donner guitars like this? Or are they just cheap Chinese-made axes that don’t deserve any attention from us? Well, you’re about to discover the truth.

The string pins on the bridge can be out of various materials such as plastic, ivory, and bone. The standard low and medium-level guitars come with plastic pins which are easily broken or damaged. You may consider changing them with ivory or graph tech string pins for a better tone and tuning stability. Differences Between The Models Since the saddle of the DAG-1C model is made out of plastic, it is not the best one to enhance the sound. An upgrade to a compensated saddle from Graph Tech, for instance, will create a big difference in sound. Compensated saddles set each string’s intonation to help produce the best possible tone and performance.Although it is a guitar made for beginners, it is a full-size 41” guitar. This means it is not suitable for children. However, Donner has the DAG-1M which is a 3/4 size guitar that is perfect for children. High Stability] Rising-G acoustic guitars are durable, with temperature and humidity having no effect on carbon fiber, as it still works well under temperatures ranging from -4℉ to 176℉. RISING-G PRO deliver consistent performance no matter the environment.

As this is a full-size guitar, it is also not suitable for children who want to learn to play the guitar. It feels pretty big even in my hand as I am used to playing electric guitars. This guitar will feel too big for small children, demotivating them as it would be harder to learn anything.And like the Donner guitars above, the Fender Squier Dreadnought also comes with a beginner-friendly bundle containing all the accessories you need to get started. It also has a surprisingly affordable price, which is why we believe it would make a great Donner guitar alternative. Serious beginners will appreciate the all-solid-wood construction of the Donner DAD-812 dreadnought acoustic. The solid spruce top produces excellent resonance and volume perfect for practicing or jam sessions. As I already mentioned, this guitar had a really low action out of the box. After making it a bit higher to get rid of the fret buzz, handling this guitar and accessing all corners of the fretboard was really easy and smooth. Strings feel like the ones from the short-scale guitar(this donner has the regular scale of 25.5”) because they were so easy to fret and bend. The guitar is a lightweight guitar that weighs around 3.85 lbs (1.75 kg). It should also be noted that this model only comes with a right-hand configuration, but there is a model for left-handed as well.
