Good for the moneyMarch 12, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a real guitar. I currently own and play four acoustic and two electric guitars. I bought the Rogue Starter from Musician's Friend when they had it featured in their "Stupid Deal of the Day" which further reduced an already good price. This is a 7/8 size guitar which is best suited for younger players or those with small hands. The sound is better than I expected in this price range and after some minor setup and tuning I was quite pleased with my purchase. This guitar was originally slated to be my bang around axe and something to let the grandchildren play with, but now that I have had it for a while I find it's just fun to play. I don't have to worry about damage to it because if something bad happens to it, (at this price) I will just replace it. When initially tuning or restringing a guitar the strings need to be stretched until they settle in, this may require several tunings over the first few days. It is always a good idea to buy an inexpensive electronic tuner when getting a first guitar. This is the least expensive playable guitar that I have every encountered but it should not be compared to a more expensive instrument. If you are realistic in your expectations of this little guitar you will find that your money was well spent.
Excellent for the moneyMarch 21, 2005 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought one of these for my daughter, and was very surprised at how much guitar you get for the low price point. It tuned up quickly, stayed in tune, had decent intonation up through the 12th fret, and was fun to play with a sweet, solid tone. Based on my experience, and that of a lot of other reviews I've seen elsewhere, I think the chap who gave it one star unfortunately got a dud. This guitar compared well with ones around $100-150, so give it a look.
Beware!! It is more a toy than an instrumentOctober 20, 2004 23 out of 26 found this review helpful
Having never played the guitar and wanting to learn, I bought one of these with high hopes on it being a nice starter. When it arrived it seemed a little small but I was assured that it was meant to be small and that it would make it easier to learn on. I accepted that but was still a bit put off by the shoddy quality. I had a friend who is a very accomplished guitarist tune it for me and as he did, several strings broke right off the bat. Restrung, we moved to a second attempt at tuning it. None of the strings would stay in tune and after several adjustments, the bridge actually seperated from the body of the guitar, rendering it unplayable. Don't be duped. This is a toy guitar. They market it towards kids because most will just be playing with it and banging on it, no concern for actual correctness And they market it towards beginners hoping that people will be looking at price, not investigating quality. If that's what you're looking for, then this is perfect. I found out the hard way: If you're serious about learing the guitar, make the inital investment for a decent one. Visit an actual store and try a few out, ask questions, shop around. I've found quite a few nice beginner guitars for a little over $100. And if you make the investment in a nicer instrument, you're more likely to recoup most of your losses if learning it doesn't work out or when you're ready to move on to a better one. This poor example, I would be surpised if I could give it away. And I've seen them sold on other sites for about $15.00. Good luck.
