00:00What's up? Paul here from Guitar World and today we're going to be checking out a compact,
00:10travel-friendly carbon fiber guitar from Donner that's a real standout,
00:14the Donner Rising G Pro. Let's check it out.
00:18Donner's Rising series is a brand new line of instruments made by Donner using innovative
00:32materials including the Rising G guitar and the Rising U ukulele and Rising V violin. In case you
00:39haven't noticed, carbon fiber instruments have become increasingly prevalent and popular lately.
00:43And after spending some time with this Donner Rising G Pro carbon fiber guitar, it does possess
00:49excellent stability and a comfortable playing field. The Allure of carbon fiber guitars is simple,
00:54easy to maintain because of their rigidity and durability and they also retain stability because
01:00they are generally immune to humidity or temperature changes. So what you have
01:05is a guitar that stays pretty much consistent in playability.
01:13What makes the guitar unique is Donner's proprietary A-type bracing that mimics the
01:20sound of an acoustic guitar. The Rising G Pro's sound when combined with its cutting-edge barrel
01:25design provide a layered fullness and higher resonance similar to the physical properties
01:30of a traditional acoustic guitar that are made from tonewoods.
01:34In addition, its sound hole design at the upper bout allows you to hear the guitar more clearly. Now keep in
01:44mind, the guitar does not come with electronics yet, but you now have the option to replace a good mic to
01:49capture its sound or include your choice of electronics for it.
01:53Other notable features include a three-piece neck design with an HPL or otherwise known as high-pressure
02:10laminate fretboard with rounded frets for continued comfort for long playing hours and elixir strings
02:16that provide continued tonal life to its sound. And of course, having a carbon fiber guitar saves you time and
02:22money that you don't need to spend on maintenance and adjustments.
02:27What's also cool is the guitar comes with a travel-ready gig bag and accessories pack
02:33that includes a tuner, capo, truss rod adjustment wrench, picks, and strap.
02:41As a mid-range priced acoustic guitar, the Donner Rising G Pro is a worthy choice that's comparable
02:46to a lot of other travel-friendly and smaller sized acoustics. What's even better, with its surprisingly
02:52fuller sound and brighter tone, as a compact acoustic, you also get all the benefits of its carbon fiber construction.
02:58The Rising G Pro is practically impervious to cracking or warping because of temperature and humidity changes,
03:09making it an ideal guitar to take anywhere with you, whether it's cross-country or on a plane.
03:15But if that's not enough, you'll totally dig its lightweight and easy playability.
03:19Definitely check it out.
03:20we'll see you next time.
