Honestly the frets are the dealbreaker. This guitar might not belly like a wood guitar, but I have a donner hush 1 and it’s pretty much unplayable because the fretboard started to warp after a year and lowering the action introduced additional slight fret buzzing. As great as this guitar might sound I think the Yamaha FG or FS series are a far better guitar that’s 5X more playable than the donner. And Yamaha necks are stronger more resilient to bending and the frets are almost perfectly even out of the box.
Thank you :)
Very solid review and knowledgeable! People don’t talk about what happens with needed adjustments like lowering the saddle and break angle.
