Donner38" Carbon X Wood Acoustic Guitar Beginner & Intermediate Learner Kits - Carbon Fiber Top, Wooden Bowl, Durable Solid Guitar with Case, Strap, Steel-String, RISING-G1 (Satin, Brown)

I'm a beginner who has done some reading, and I have a good ruler and some feeler gauges. This is a small guitar -- bigger than 3/4 but small nonetheless. It is made with materials which match the description. It looks nice and sounds fine to my ear. Mine came properly set up. The truss rod functions. I adjusted it to check, but left it where it was originally with .080 relief at the 6th fret with the E strings compressed at the 1st and 15th frets. The nut/1st fret height was correct. Relief at the 12th fret in the playing position was 6/64 for the big E and slightly less for the little E. That was a tough thing to measure. There was no buzzing. I'm not sure about the tuners because the strings are still stretching after 2 days. It stayed in tune during a 10 minute practice session twice and was flat the next day twice. The strap is just OK but works.

I bought this as a "truck guitar" just to have something in my truck to play that I didn’t have to worry about it being too expensive or going out of town because of the carbon fiber.I just had it delivered today and opened the box. The only thing I needed to do was tune it. It has a deep, throaty sound. I am incredibly impressed!It’s a tiny bit small smaller than your standard guitar, but not very noticeable grateful for traveling or like I’m going to do keeping it in my truck.

Can’t believe how great the sound is! Perfect for strumming in a common area without taking over the space. It sounds quiet and loud at the same time. Plus it came with a strap and strings. The hardware is sick! The sauce and shape make it fit perfectly when sitting on the couch….The action is low so it’s great for someone struggling with bar chords. Super lightweight but sturdy.Just wish it had a pickup.

For the price, the sound is great and better than a $400 Breedlove I returned. Comfortable neck and action. Stays in tune for the most part. My biggest issue is the action past the 12th fret. There's buzzing in some notes and specifically the 14th fret on the 4th string, where the 15th metal fret is too high and won't play the note.. it presses like it's on the 15th fret when I'm pressing the 14th (I forgot what this phenomenon is called). Basically it's playing the same note when pressing a different fret. I tried adjusting the saddle and neck but it didn't help. I think I can fix it by sanding down the metal fret or getting a new saddle but that shouldn't happen in the first place and that's an issue.

Good product, reasonable price, quick delivery

unplayable beyond the 7th fret, action too low, bridge adjustment, etc. another "bait and switch" product from Donner. Stop buying crap sight unseen from these dropshipping fecal merchants

I like how light this guitar is and how comfortable it is to play compared to a full size acoustic - nothing digging into your arm or chest as you reach around with your strumming hand. It has a very full tone for a smaller bodied guitar. The action was perfect out of the box. I am even using the factory strings and they stay in tune (I did stretch them thoroughly after unboxing and before first tuning).I can't think of any negatives, this is guitar is just so worth the money!

Update **** I bought the satin version 1st and it’s great. But I bought the gloss version recently and there’s a huge huge difference in tone. It looks amazing in gloss but the satin version sounds a lot better. The gloss dull the sound. Still not bad tho but I think more people would be happy with the satin version.. ****It is really impressive. I've been playing since 81' I buy sell and repair guitars. I was expecting to do some work on this guitar. I switch out the strap buttons which wasn't needed event the ones on the guitar are quality. The strings are even good. It stays in tune. If you know what your doing, stretch your stings. Action is low, neck was great. It a thin neck. Finish was great. I might put in a pickup but that not needed it's pretty loud. Oh I have one thing the shape of the pick guard is odd. But its optional and easily cut. I think they did well.
