Review: Well Donner, I'm Surprised... - I've been playing guitar 45 years and have owned dozens of guitars and amps. Back in the 70s a $35 electric guitar was practically unplayable. Recently I set up a Squier strat for a friend and it ended up being as good as an Am Std. So I took the plunge with the DST 550. Out of the box I was pretty surprised at the overall look and quality. 7 lbs, balanced no neck dive, nice C shape carve. I was able to get VERY low action with no issues, and it didn't require shimming the neck. Within hours I dug in and put some vintage wind Alnico 5 single coils in for a huge tone upgrade. The pots are those tiny ones so eventually I'll replace those along with the humbucker. It was wired strange as the bucker read 14k or 8k split, but the middle and neck pickups were reading wacky numbers. The new ones I installed are reading 6k middle and 7.2k neck. So it has lots of quack at the in between settings now. A great project guitar for a long time player gigging guitarist, or a beginner just as it is.
Review: Fantastic guitar but get your tools out. - The good. 5.0 Thick light body. 4.5 Fit and finish is beautiful and spotless with the exception of one small scratch where the heel attaches to the body. 5.0 Locking tuners 5.0 Tremolo 5.0 Neck is thin and awesome! Since this is actually an Ibanez knockoff, that's understandable. 4.5 The humbucker pickup is the best pickup I've ever played. The harmonics are better than than the Pearly Gates, and the Fred! I don't know what Donner did but damn! The single coils are ok. The bad. 3.0 Fret sprout, Yikes! Gonna file that down! 4.0 Fret rock, four upper frets have a slight rock. The rest are perfect. About 5 minutes of filing will fix that. 3.0 Double winding the locking tuners. Now why did yall have to do that? Now I gotta change the strings out! Summary. This is a damn good guitar. In fact it is better than any Fender Stratocaster I ever played period, including all the expensive models out there. However, work needs to be done. If you're not good with tools, you may need to pass on this one, wait..learn how to set up a guitar or you'll never have a good one. If you are a pro, grab one of these for your gigs, and leave your expensive strats at home. That humbucker though. Wow! Ok, after all the filing and general setup, my conclusion is that this is the perfect affordable guitar. What would make this the "perfect" guitar? Medium Jumbo frets. That's right! Going back to the Thunderforge humbucker, you can turn the gain all the way up (I have a Peavey triple xxx) and it's still articulate, and not noisy. Go find another pickup that can do that. The natural harmonics are better than any pickups I ever owned.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding guitar, can't beat the price.
*by T***N on April 9, 2026*

I am shocked at just how good this guitar is. Now it did require a complete setup. Strings, trussrod adjust, string height and intonation. Now it's perfect. I would say this guitar is more for intermediate players and up.
