Only guitar you'll ever need. Class and built like a tank.
Watching this in April 2024 - considering a beginner Tele ... a new/mint DTC 100 with custom neck work, (smoother), new strings, upgraded tuners, gig bag and stand for $175
Nice review & presentation style (hearing you play! ... hoping I can play the ‘Start Me Up’ riff one day (this year!) on a guitar.
Black fretboard,blk finish,solid ace
None better for your bucks ✌️
Thanks for the informative and no-nonsense review. Great playing too!
I've picked up a few of these -- one on Sunburst, one in Black, and one in White/cream. All for around $100 each on sale. The necks alone are worth the price of admission IMO. The strings and saddles made infurating buzzing sounds, and as I often play unplugged it was driving me crazy. A set of decent strings and modern style brass saddles with string grooves fixed that. $25 total in upgrades, and I polished the frets and conditioned the fingerboard while the strings were off.
With those minor improvements I find these to be more playable than most Squiers I've tried. Squiers have become wildly inconsistent, whereas my Donners have all been pretty good. I think this guitar is fine for a beginner, but perfect for someone who wants to tinker and mod.
Thanks!
The guitar sounds good because you make it sound good , you are a fantastic player
Thank you! Though it actually is a decent guitar inherently as well!
These really are decent guitars, especially for modding.
I have two, and am working on both!
Sunburst like yours, with alnico slightly hot pups and a 4-way switch, and a white one with alnico rail pups.
Both are works in progress. CTS pots, proper wiring/grounding/shielding, and a Sozo .022 cap with the single coils, and an orange drop .015 with the rail humbuckers.
Great video and playing, just stumbled upon your channel and subbed!
Thanks so much! Cool to see people doing mods on these! 🤘🏾
Great guitar.. Sounds really good and your skills also make it shine more. Keep up the good work. I'm your new subscriber Miles! 🤘 Keep Rockin
Thank you so much!!
Awesome !!
Love this -- sweet tones and playing! Gonna check these guitars out.
Thanks man!!
Got one yesterday directly from Donner. Looked like some person had almost tuned it, a little sharp, intonation checked the 12th fret, no problem, string height seemed right. Mine was ready straight out of the box. I loved the feedback on the bridge position, just felt right.
Not fussy about strings, they seem thinner 9 high e strings. I still have original 15 year old strings on my acoustic.
For £90 it is a steal, using Donner monitor speakers £49. I also have 2 Donner large pedal boards. Though pedal board 2 is a compressor, wool over drive, Ravish sitar going to a Yamaha magic stomp, really not suitable for a pulp fiction tone.
I also have a Donner interface but having so much fun with my pedal board I have not tried it yet.
What a coincidence! I just ordered one of these (lefty) and decided to check CZcams for reviews and here you are. My total price with discount code and free shipping came to $112 (no tax ?). So how can you go wrong? Thanks for a great review, Miles. Nice playing and diverse styles. Hope mine has as much red in the burst as yours. Subscribed!
Thanks so much Jeff! Enjoy the guitar, I’m sure you will!!
@@MilesDoesMusic haha, awesome! I just ordered a lefty for $85 USD! thought it might be scam it was so cheap... I received tracking info so my fingers are crossed!
Enjoy!
Just ordered one coming tomorrow
Nice! Enjoy!!
I bough one of the thinline versions of this guitar a couple of months ago for $115 bucks when they had their 20% off sale and the himbucking pickups in that guitar are some of the best I've every heard. The pickups in the other guitar are easily worth the price of the whole guitar.
Damn aight I might have to check that out!
Great review and thanks for mentioning about the back string nuts not being glued on tightly. I’ll be keeping a close eye on them when changing the strings. Thanks
Happy to help! Enjoy!
Sounds fantastic
Thank you!!
1st time listener sounding good you and guitar 🎸 keep om rockin
Thanks!!
@@MilesDoesMusic Is this guitar worth buying? I'm a lefty and on a serious budget. Please advise.
@Bronco2Cj hey man, I think it’s decent enough if you’re on a budget - it’ll need some tweaking right out the box but otherwise, I play mine regularly - the video on my page of me playing the smashing pumpkins song “mayonnaise” I’m playing this guitar!
@@MilesDoesMusic I appreciate it
I was thinking if I should buy one of this guitar, and now I am convinced.. thanks a lot...
Sure thing! Enjoy!!
That was a great review of a nice guitar. I bought a DAG acoustic from Donner. I set the action and change the strings but I love the sound that comes out of it. I going to order the telecaster.
Thank you!!
Hi Miles, loved the review, I'm going to get a Donner Telecaster soon when I recover financially from Covid.
Best of luck!!
Sounds awesome for that price! 👍
Thanks!!
I got a Donner Black Tele. They are definitely punching above their weight. If you want to mod it, it's a great platform, out of the box do a little setup work, and you've got an inexpensive guitar with limitless possibilities. Your review helped me pulled the trigger, Thanks!
Oh man, luckyyyy I would love the black one! Enjoy man, and thank you!!
GOT ONE 3 MONTHS AGO THEY COULD EASY BEAT FENDER MID PRICE GUITAR GREAT WITH A FEW MODS
Hi Miles, I am thinking of getting one of these as they are on offer for £99.00, I want a guitar to keep in open G and drop it to 5 strings, do you think this would work well with this Donner mate?
Hey Bob,
It should be fine for what you’re looking to do. It’s a capable guitar, but it’s also a budget instrument so don’t think it’s a secret gem of some sort. It stays in tune but you may want to swap out the pickups/electronics at some point but otherwise I think you’ll be in good shape for what you’re paying for it
@@MilesDoesMusic Thanks for the reply Miles, that answers my question ,for that price It will save up and down tuning on my squire strat all the time
You sound great! I'm a leftyalso but on right handed guitars, so I would have to flip strings and nut. Could that be possible?
Thank you! And yes, I’d get a new nut made rather than flip it though because the grooves and the height are going to be different going the opposite way but aside from that and adjusting the bridge saddles you should be good to go
The bridge pick up in mine is very micro phonic. Does anyone else have this problem? I’m going to have to change the pick up ASAP because I can’t stand it.
BY the way, great guitar playing. What strings did you replace them with? Thanks
Thank you! I more than likely threw some D’Addario’s on - the light top/heavy bottom set
Hi mate, did the guys of bluefocus or donner paid you for making this review?
Nope! They sent me the guitar but beyond that I Didn’t get paid - and even if they were offering to pay I’d contact the company before posting an overly negative video
Out of the box would some 10-52’s work fine? Or would I have to do some work to the nut?
Yeah you should be good, that’s the gauge strings I use!
@@MilesDoesMusic dope! Thanks!
Sure thing!
what do u think is better (money aside) fender squier affinity telecaster or this one? i can't decide which is better
As far as the pickups, you’ll probably get better mileage out of the squier, but they’ve become very fickle in terms of consistency - some models are great and then others will be ABSOLUTELY terrible so go forth with caution. Worst case regardless of which you choose, you can always upgrade components
Cool vid
Thank you!
Hello, are you left handed?
I ask this as I would get a lefty version
Yup!
@@MilesDoesMusic that's good, I am glad there was no reduction in quality.
Would be nice to jam with him.
do you know what the radius is hon these ?
www.donnerdeal.com/collections/electric-guitars/products/donner-39-inch-telecaster-left-handed-electric-guitar-full-size-tele-tele-style-solid-body-lefty-sunburst-beginner-with-bag-strap-cable-dtc-100sl
@@MilesDoesMusic Yeah, the website doesn't list the radius.
Hmmm I’d say shoot Donner an email and see if that can give some insight
Shoutout to all leftyz inda houz!
