Review: Great Guitar. Compariae to Squier Affinity. READ ME for mods. O - I’ve owned and consistently played the DST200 for 7 months now and comparing it to my 5 Squier Affinitys and 2 Bullets (Teles and Starts) purchased over the past 6/7 years from desertcart because these guitars are in the same price and quality categories and I’ve had adequate time to make a fair opinion. Over all it’s a great guitar and surpasses a Squire Bullet but falls short of the Affinity line which was my unreasonable expectation considering the $70 difference. It probably falls the middle of a Bullet and Affinity but I would chose the DST200 over a Bullet or Sonic due to the over all feel, primarily the body wood which I think contributes to the overall tone, an idea debated in some circles (the tone wood conspiracy lol). I’ll try not to repeat what’s all ready been said so my points are it really is a good feeling guitar to play, kind of thin but setups and inotates very well contributing the overall tuning. The black finish is professional and top notch! The electronics sound great and the additional splitting humbucker is useful. Some players don’t prefer the ceramic pickups but they sounded good to my ears lending to all the classic Fender tones in all 5 switch positions with the added push/pull switch for the bridge humbucker (a nice competitive idea from Donner). The plastic nut was cut perfectly and the original Donner tremolo is good and compatible to a stock Squier vintage type. The frets are smaller in diameter compared to the larger fender/squier which could make or break a player’s opinion but I’ve accepted it (still like jumbos for the feel and longevity). Now swapping out parts could be a problem, I’m always modding and found that some of my numerous loaded pickguards didn’t fit resulting in drilling extra holes for the 11 screws, the horn portion didn’t exactly line up and the tremolo template was slightly off and required some shaving. I swapped out the stock tremolo for a fender gold vintage and it was a perfect fit. The body is the same size of an Affinity meaning it’s smaller than the standard Fender Strat. When I replaced the stock tuning machines with gold vintage F-hole Fenders I found the holes had been reverted back to a smaller diameter with plugs then redrilled for smaller holes as if Donner was using larger tuners at one time. These “plugs” popped out when I tried to replace the original retainer rings so I had to tap them back in and repair the cracks and splits with wood filler, sanding and a repaint which brings me to an inconsistentancy, in the stock pictures the headstock is shown painted black but mine was a natural finish. I just painted mine with black lacquer and buffed to a professional shine. I also swapped out the pups and pots for some better alnico brand and rewired the split humbucker switch to go series/parallel (personal preference) and I stayed with original Donner pickguard as others didn’t exactly fit. I also kept the cheap import 5 way switch but will swap it eventually as the cheapies get scratchy over time and using. I replaced the stock boat input plate and jack with Fender and found a slight difference in size but nothing significant I’ve also replaced the plastic nut with a high quality precut bone, this is new territory to me as further adjustments are needed like recutting slots due to string buzz and intonation problems but it was a perfect fit in the slot (found an exact replacement on desertcart with the same measurements. This is important!!) I also sanded down the clear satin finish on the back of the neck with some expensive nitrocellulose amber colored lacquer, personal preference. I don’t usually review products but I’m passionate about guitars in general and hope these details are beneficial to anyone. Play, mod and learn!
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.
