I bought one of these about 2 months ago because I figured at a total of $115 bucks (after the 20% discount), it wouldn't be the biggest loss if it turned out to be a piece of junk. To say I was very surprised at how good it is after receiving it is an understatement. The quality is actually better than a Fender Squire that costs 3 times more. The pickups also kind of blew my mind at how good they sound and they have a unique PAF on steroids type of tone with beautiful overtones that is very pleasant through my PRS MT15 and Joyo Zombie. I did remove those saddle screws though and shortened the length of them by carefully grinding the bottoms down about 1/16" on a grinding wheel before screwing them back in, which fixed the problem of them sticking out of the top and irritating the palm of my hand. A couple of weeks ago I desided to measure the width of the saddles amd I found a set of imported solid brass saddles that were the same width (10.3mm) for $11.49 on ebay and ordered them as well as a bone nut blank. After installing the saddles and nut and properly slotting it with a set of nut files, it now plays and sounds just as good as my U.S. Carruthers custom shop Tele.

Just replace the saddles, Gotoh S11 are brass, S21 are steel.

The pickups have the same spec as the Musiclily Wilkinson Alnico V Vintage, the bridge is overwound around 14K, neck less than 8K.

You can get pickguards for wide range humbuckers and P90s. Might get a second one for P90s.

I put Artec Giovanni 59 PAF zebra copies in mine, painted the pickguard matte black, 2 push pulls to split the coils separately and a 4 way switch, Puretone jack, brass saddles and a Tusq nut. Using the neck for a different project and replaced it with a Chinese roasted maple neck with a rosewood board to darken it up a bit. It's a great body, wet sanded the gloss down to semi-gloss. Cant put it down.

Respect Sir Perf for declaring the sponsorship.

I just got one of them couple weeks ago and after a little set up and little fret leveling lower the strings i was amazed how good it played and the pickups where really good very clear not to much bass, i fail in love with this guitar and it looks beautiful

[ellaquimmurallon]

Budget guitar but has an expensive tone when played by sir Perf 🤘.

[danielkruse]

You’re a wonderful player. Good demo too. Thanks dude.

[nieveramusic]

Literally the guitar I was thinking of getting next.

[soundingraw]

Gorgeous looking guitar. Hopefully they have a store here in the Philippines

[Harry-fgvs]

I bought this Donner thin line guitar and I switched the pickguard to a 3-ply black one and man does it look even more amazing! It’s honestly a wonderful guitar especially for around $100. It is really is fun to play.

[TheTwangKings]

Nice review, man. Seems like a versatile guitar. What was wrong with the nut? Did strings get stuck in it?

[turquatto]

The controlled feedback from those stock pickups is sick!

[mikemckenna]

Got one .sweet right out of the box..even flamed maple fret board..all good for 200 bucks..

[jimmarinella]

U looked like you had a blast playing that! Well done

[gerardb]

Great review! I was sitting on the fence regarding the djc-1000 but you've convinced me. I'm picking one up. Thanks very much.

[KEISplaysguitar]

Wow. Everything sounds great with you sir Perf. I like the distortion too

[ianmarkfrancisco]

I want one... But I am torn between this and the IYV thinline as well. The IYV has a natural wood finish .. but the sunburst is also really nice....sound is amazing

[chipprice]

I got one a few weeks ago, and I really lov this guitar. You are a really good picker😎👍

[hearpalhere]

The guitar sounded really good, your demo track was awesome!

[jojowhite]

Perfect pra sa bagohan tulad ko...hehe

[jaypaduadesigns]

nice!!! that distortion you are using sounds awesome too
