Creating the guitarists of tomorrow. Well done Donner! Dang, I wish I’d had something like this starting out.
That neck pickup sounds stellar for the price. The bridge pickup.....nice brown sound. Beautiful color. Sounds like a winner for a first guitar purchase or gift pack.
I took the shallow plunge and dropped $170. I'm actually quite impressed. Agreed on the single coils. Now there's a guitar that I can just lay around anywhere without worry.
Exactly!
I don't worry about my main guitar. It's so incredibly beat up and modified that a dent doesn't matter at all. But I would be heartbroken if I would lose it.
@@TheOligoclonalBand most of my guitars are relic'd. Either by the manufacturer, or by me 🤣...accidentally
@@BigHairyGuitars Reliced by use is the best kind. I have a maple strat that has gorgeous wood on body and neck and to be honest, a dent there hurts more than on another guitar where a dent doesn't even count anymore.
I was in a shop a little while ago and picked up a $170 Squire Telecaster - and was quite impressed with how well it played. Entry level guitars are definitely a lot better today than the Hondo copy Flying V that was my first electric from the local mall back in the mid 80's.
Man, your demo songs are EPIC! Easily the best demos online. You can cover so many styles and sounds and know how to highlight an instrument’s strengths even IF it may have shortcomings. Kudos!! 🤘🤘🤘
Any product is lucky to land in your hands on this page. Perfect review. If only they'd been around in 1985.
Thanks! and totally! I wish.
Amazing what you can get now compared to when a lot of use started playing!
On an unrelated note. I CAN NOT WAIT for the your video of your soon to be James Tyler guitar. Ultra pumped for it.
I bought the Tele and modded the heck out of it, really good modding platform
You are absolutely incredible player, man. I've subscribed to you a while back and every style you do you definitely put your own stamp on. Great and thorough reviews on all the products, too! I wish your channel the best and happy Friday!
That’s really great to see!! We both know what we had available for 150 bucks when we were kids🙄I had a squire a Lab series L9 and Ds1.. Brutal but we made it work👍👍Great video Mike👍👍👍
Stellar intro as always. I picked up my first floating trem guitar in 20 years this winter, a Squier Contemporary Strat on clearance. I paid $279 for it. Roasted maple neck, trem is workable and it plays like a $1000 guitar. Downside is the pots and pickups are a not quite there for me. Either way, what you can get for sub $300US today is bonkers compared to back in the day. Cheers.
Great demo Michael. Price is right, you say it plays well and it sounds good. For that price, I might have to pick one up! Thanks man.
Lovely playing. These are such nice guitars for a regular gigging player.
Tasty playing brother.
heck of a value honestly and that beautiful finish looks like it belong on a much more expensive guitar over the 1K mark.
No way you didn’t set up the hell out of that thing. You made it sound exquisite. Never
seen your channel before, but
I’m a follower now.
Pretty bonkers. Came straight outta the box! Thanks for watching!
Mind blown! That neck pickup sounds amazing.
I think a comparison to your expensive single coil guitars is in order. 😄
That’s an great guitar for that money and the pups sound pretty good. I don’t know how they build it at that price. Great demo M.N.
We are in a golden age affordable beginner instruments. I would actually recommend a used Squier Classic Vibe and Boss Katana 50 for a beginner.
I played when I was young late 60s and now I am old and picking it back up. So I couldn't justify under 500 or above so I went for the DST-152R. I would have killed for this quitar in the late 60s. I did a little work adjusting string and pickup height. Since I purchased this on sale for 170, I bought vintage locking tuners and roller string trees, so I am back up to 200. Like I said, I would have died and went to heaven for this. I have played Fenders. My older brother had a Fender Jazzmaster back in those days. This Donner is a heck of a buy. Fret work needed no work, strings actually very low. Intonation was off, needed adjusting. Wrapped the vibrato threads with thread tape to stiffen and hold from dropping, works well.
With the new ToneX pedal leaked I’m really looking for more of Big Hairy Captures to come!!!! ❤❤❤
It's nice that HB doesn't stick out like a sore thumb level wise, which they usually do. You can always boost it.
Very true!
That is pretty solid. The Humbucker is not that great, but that could be a great guitar to switch out parts you have already lying around. I have a humbucker in a drawer that I could use there. And then give it to a kid in the neighbourhood.
I'll bet if you put a Warmoth neck on this, and swapped the pickups, it would be nuts. ...but I guess then it would be a $850 guitar.
that color is boss!
Yes. Lovely choice.
Damn it. Haven't even finished the whole video yet. You groove the sh1t outa that opener. I'd be rushing. People don't appreciate the challenge of not getting ahead of the beat on these slow grooves. This can kick yer a$$ in a session.
Thanks John. Honestly that was really a challenge. I shot another video recently that was REALLY slow, and I don't think I succeeded. It really reminded me to practice SLOOOOW groove and pocket as well.
@@BigHairyGuitars Well that makes me feel better. Sometimes I have to program a scratch drum track giving me subdivisions, in this case, triplet (or 1/8th note triplet) on the hats, as a crutch. Makes me feel a bit like a fraud though. LOL.
I picked up a new Squire Affinity Jazzmaster For $199 as beater, leave in my trunk guitar. Turned out to be really amazing. Unbelievable what $200 gets you these days.
first time seeing you demo 3 figures gear.
The ✂️ Maestro.
I had a semi-hollow Tele from Donner, it was absolutely fantastic for the price. Would have happily paid 3x more. I get that these cheaper guitars can be a bit of a lottery, but it seems like when Donners are on, they are ON.
It’s truly amazing what you can get at that price point these days. My first guitar was a Kramer Focus in 1986 that basically wouldn’t stay in tune for more than one song, and I think that cost more that this thing in 1986! Also I mostly spent the whole video looking at your Mac desktop. Please clean that up. 😂
You mean the desktop isn't like the junk drawer in the kitchen: tape, random screws, batteries (some dead, some charged , mixed together), toothpicks, pushpins, some mystery wallwarts, etc. I guess I never got the memo either! Thanks for the heads up. 🙂
These "cheap" guitars are made in the same factories with the same highly accurate CNC machines as many "good" guitars. Made with the same processes, same machines.
The wood routing and fret slot cutting etc is all very accurate so they all play really good intonation etc.
Mostly what you pay for with a "good" guitar is more expensive parts like pickup, tuners, bridge and more craftsman time setting it up.
So generally if you get one of these and put some pickups in it and take some time to set it up you can get a serious guitar for a couple hundred bucks (plus pickups).
I mean even unplugged it sounded great 🤷♂️👌😎
I need ninja vomit demo for sure 😊
I just got one.
How is it?
9:35 what's this riff from? I've heard it from another guitar player here on YT too.
That's just some chords I threw together (and apparently someone else did as well)! haha
@@BigHairyGuitars Yeah I figured so, but so weird that I've heard almost the exact same chords elsewhere! 🤣
Did your model have the coil split on the bridge pickup? Mine does.
Ohhhh. I don't know. It might have, but maybe I missed that.
@@BigHairyGuitars it was a great video as per usual!
I guess this again provves: the sound is in the fingers. And there‘s a lot of sound in yours!
What interface are you going direct into?
RME Fireface UCX
More proof that it is all in the fingers, fresh strings help!
Ohhh. I bet you're right. I'm sure they ship with cheap strings. New strings would surely help too.
Gravity........Working against me!!!! :D
When I started working on the video, I thought, "A good way to show strat sounds is to just play John Mayer songs". Then I was like, I'll just write something. I ended up doing both. 🫣🤣
Interesting why you never mentioned the frets? That's usually the first place that gets neglected with these lower cost China guitars...
I can’t say that I’m an expert on guitar construction like Phil McKnight. The frets felt good. The guitar played well. No buzzing, pretty nice feeling neck. Not as nice as a $600 Fender/Squire, but better than my Jem Jr at $500
great content. Donner is ok for the price but the sound is very shrill and 2 dimensional.
My first electric guitar was a Celebrity. Complete junk. Lol
Sadly, Another Amazon brand promo in a "pro" YT channel.
You’re not interested in hearing about inexpensive gear?
@@BigHairyGuitars Of course they have their place. But I think we mostly come to this channel for "Studio, Lexicon, Friedman, Dan Huff" things :)
@@MrLoompi It would be nice to not be boxed into doing 1 thing. As a creative person doing the same thing get's old. Many times I've considered being done with the channel, because 'how many Lexicon videos can 1 person do?' I own them, I know what they sound like. So, I have to look for things that I find interesting to keep doing the channel. Some times it's going to be high end gear, sometimes low end stuff, because I'm looking for something for my kids. Sometimes, I'm just curious, how different is a $200 guitar from a custom $8000?
@@BigHairyGuitars I understand, with "Lexicon" I meant the general vibe of a channel. As viewers, we can notice lots of medium sized channels, pushing same new Amazon brands and products.
@@BigHairyGuitars Hey Mike, My Daughter is a Creator and it’s your channel. I enjoy every level here. Keep up the good work my Friend.
