5.0 out of 5 stars The best deal out there, December 18, 2007

I've been playing guitar for over 20 years. The guitar that I currently own is a $4000 Breedlove custom guitar. Bottomline, I know guitars. For $100, this Rogue Mahogany guitar rivials $3000 Taylors and Martins. Ok ok ... before you jump down my throat, let me explain: it RIVALS but doesn't necessarily top those high end guitars. But for the price, you get a full mahogany body guitar, and a fishman pickup. And the sound ... WOW. For $100, you can't find a better guitar. You get another guitar in the same price range, you won't find anything that would compare to this guitar. So as the best value, buck for buck, this guitar, hands down, is the best deal out there EVER! If you're just starting to play guitar, this would be the ideal choice. It's inexpensive and it sounds great. As a music teacher, the best way to encourage students to play is when they themselves sound good. Of course, parents don't want to spend that much on an instrument. So there you have it. The Rogue Mahogany.

I just got my Roque Honduran Mahogany Dreadnought a few hours ago and have been playing it for all of those three hours. Here are my thoughts. First, it arrived from Musician's Friend in excellent condition with no damage and no real manufacturing suprises except a slightly irregular staining of the lower fretboard. It's pretty minor and I can live with it. Otherwise its about as close to a pristine guitar as possible. It is a slightly short guitar compaired to other dreadnoughts I know (by about an inch.) The Mahogany is deep, rich and red. The finish is very shiny, which is not exactly to my taste, I would have been happier with a non-glossy finish, but some may like it (Rogue take note!). The voice of the guitar is bright and crisp, which you would expect of a guitar that is a virtual infant and has not yet had time to open up. The strings were okay, neither high nor low end. It does have its own unique voice however and I played a number of bluegrass tunes on it and was quite satisfied. The Rogue Mahogany guitar takes its place among my other acoustics and will get a thorough workout this Summer. Its a big red shiny apple of a guitar worth the $99.00 I paid for it. I think I'll hang onto this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Damaged guitar, February 11, 2010

Just got my guitar tonight and was so excited. Opened it up and saw a really good looking guitar, but moments later i noticed a glaring crack on the back of the guitar neck. The white bit that holds the strings in line at the top was also shifted out of place, which is probably the cause of the crack. Despite the good reviews this guitar has been getting, there are some issues with shoddy workmanship. Gonna call their customer service tomorrow to return it.

EDIT : Returned the guitar and they replaced it while paying for shipping, Got a new mint version a few days later. Really nice guitar and it's a steal for it's price too. Their customer service was helpful as well, bump up to 3 stars.
