Product Description

A marvel for its price, the traditional dreadnought design makes for one very playable guitar with a great, full tone. Perfect for strumming or fingerpicking any style of music, it's no wonder this guitar has been so highly rated by our customers. Features a genuine spruce top, die-cast tuning machines, 25-1/2" scale nato neck, and bound rosewood fretboard. It's easy to tune and stays that way. Rich, resonant sound and excellent projection and intonation make this a first guitar to be proud of. It's also great for camping or as a second guitar. Each guitar ships with genuine Martin strings for a quality sound right out of the box.

5.0 Best deal for the price
You can't ask for a better sounding guitar than this one at that price. The guitar made it to Southwest Asia without a scratch and everyone at our site plays it at least once per day.

I got this guitar as a birthday present, I was suprised on how it sounds, when I strummed it it was nice and smooth. But when I was looking at it, the nut was chipped, but luckily not enought for the string to pop out. I was also sad that the wood was thin, and not as sturdy as my friends. But it sounded nice, and I had a good time with it.
1.0 don't even think about buying this guitar...
O.K..I can see that a lot of people here like this product..may be I wasn't lucky enough to get a decent product. anyways, I ordered this guitar online for my friend's little brother and I thought I got a great deal...thank god that I tried it before giving it to him...first thing that I noticed was that the two lower strings (E and B) were stuck to the frets and they would make a distort wheezing noise no matter what note I played...on the other hand, the top E string would play only notes from 5th fret (A) to higher ones...no E, F or G note!!...anyway, as I've been playing both acoustic and electric guitar for a while, I'm pretty familiar with most of the manipulations... So I thought, O.K... I just change the strings and everything will work out. Guess what, it didn't change a bit... so what I did was that I tried to pressure the neck using the gadget included so I could get some distance form the fret board...didn't work out either...I also opened up all the strings and re did everything...again, NO change at all. This Guitar is the most horrible thing that I've ever seen. It does not do even ONE thing that a guitar should do right...Frets are not smooth enough because of finishing problems and you can not do decent "Vibrato"s on most of them...My suggestion is, if you are a beginner and looking for an affordable guitar try Yamaha C40. This is not a steel string guitar and the neck is wider than steel string guitars...however, if you master this guitar you can easily play other styles if you change your mind. If you really want to buy a steel string guitar visit a store near you and make sure you're getting a good product before paying for it.
5.0 Great Guitar For The Money
What a wonderful guitar, great for a beginner, sounds great, looks very nice, you can't go wrong with this one!!!
3.0 Haha. honestly mate
This is a okay guitar for starters but for someone like my friend Ross its pretty weak. And when you advance to his level you'll see how poor it really was unlike the new Harry Potter novel. Can you handle me?
5.0 I was amazed at how this guitar sounded when I picked it up.
My sister told me a few months ago that she bought a cheap Rogue acoustic off amazon.com for $50. She told me that it was labelled as a really nice guitar and definitely well well well worth it for the price. I couldn't agree with her more. This guitar kicks ass for its price! It sounds realy good and sounds better than my more expensive acoustic guitars that I have at home (Yamaha C-340 and C-210)... all I have to say is that if you want a great sounding guitar for a steal, grab this guitar, you won't regret it. I played the black one but I'm sure the tone is the same on this one as well.
5.0 Perfect for a beginner!
This is a good guitar at a great price. I bought it to develop my childrens' interest in music and guitar.

I have never played guitar but I have been a musician for 40 years. I can tell you that it sounds great. It looks great.

For this price, it doesn't matter if the kids are a little rough on it. I'm glad that I bought two and I would gladly buy another.
5.0 Really great for the price
Honestly, I have to agree with all other reviewers. I thought I should comment here since I've actually played the guitar for a few weeks, and it's still wonderful. Holds a tune wonderfully, comes with the Martin strings which sound great, and as a starter guitar you can't get anything better. So it's not a name brand; who cares! All that matters is the sound quality, and I couldn't be happier with that.
4.0 Reasonable bargain
This guitar has everything that is expected from a guitar: the classic look, steel strings, full sized, and accessible. The price is the major selling point, and for that price, you get a guitar that is very adequate for a beginner guitarist. The finish is not perfect, and there are some minor cosmetic issues which hint at it being not overly expensive.

Bottomline, great sound, greate price, and enough for someone who is interested but not all that serious about guitars. It works.
5.0 Sweet.
For $60, all I can say is Wow.

I think the best part was taking the guitar out of its box. The smell of its new paint and glossy finish made me smile. This has everything one can want out of a starter or traveling guitar. In addition to the specifications and features listed in the product description above, the guitar looks nice and holds its tune very well. When you put it in your lap you can tell that the guitar was built well and is pretty sturdy. I actually have no quibbles with it (considering it was only $60).

I was debating whether to buy this Rogue or the Washburn D100, but after reading the reviews and ratings at Musicians Friend, the two are basically ranked the same despite their $40 difference and brand name reputation. You honestly can't go wrong with either one, but if you want to save $40, go with the Rogue.
