4.0 out of 5 stars Good Enough, September 8, 2005

This review is from: Rogue Starter Acoustic Guitar Redburst

I bought one of these to have as a "loaner" guitar for students, etc. I had grave reservations buying a guitar priced so low (I paid about $30), but this one was very playable, the intonation was good, and the tuners worked (all things likely to be lacking at this price). I have since bought four more for students. One has questionable action. I do not know if I will be able to get it setup correctly, but it is already out the door. All the others play well. These guitars also look okay.

Here are the weak points. The neck is "clubby." The guitar is all laminate construction of some hardwood I have not identified (may be Ash, may be a Chinese hardwood I know nothing about). And this brings us to the sound. It is not the best. It sounds better picked fingerstyle (which I teach) than strummed with a pick. The one I have kept I have strung in "Nashville" tuning, and it is fun to hammer around on strung up that way.

Someone could actually learn to play on at least four out of five of these.

This guitar is suited for people with little hands. I have a hard time with my fingers because they are small, and this guitar works great. The sound isn't bad, but I would get new strings, and the guitar is sturdy and will work well for the new player. The color is nice too, it adds a little something to just a basic guitar.

I bought this guitar for my daughter who is a beginning guitar player. It is just the right size for her small stature. The sound is really great also.
