You cant beat the features you get for such a low price genuine spruce top, die-cast tuning machines, nato neck, bound rosewood fretboard, and Martin strings. Also has a Fishman Classic 4 pickup/preamp system so you can plug in and play loud. You wont believe it when you hear it. It sounds fantastic....

Summary: We love this guitar!
Comment: I have bought several instruments from Musician's Friend and several Rogue instruments, as well. All of these Rogue instruments are of excellent quality. We have an acoustic dreadnought, a 12 string dreadnought, and this concert size acoustic electric.
For those of you looking for a beginning instrument or a second instrument, definitely look at Rogues. We are so impressed with everything we've received from both Musician's Friend, and its "house brand", Rogue.
When my son wanted to learn guitar, we were going to just give him one of my husband's, but it was really too big. So, we decided to get him this concert size cutaway guitar. We looked at a lot of instruments and decided to go with the Rogue. Rogue instruments do not have a wide varying price range. The highest priced instrument doesn't go over a couple of hundred dollars. So, when you spend only $100 on something, they aren't cutting a lot of corners from their highest-end models. Conversely, if you buy a starter Gibson package or some other well-respected company's starter pack, they cut a lot of corners from their highest-end guitars/stringed instruments. If a company makes a guitar that retails over a few thousand dollars, or even if the average selling price is $500, they are going to cut a lot of corners to make a guitar (or mandolin) priced at under $100.
So, this specific guitar came with Martin Strings. Yes, they make great instruments, but only decent strings. Still, these sounded fine. The action on this specific guitar was pretty low. We would have preferred LOWER, but it isn't too high. The pickup/preamp system works great! I read on Musician's Friend's website that some people have had difficulty with this, but not here. The finish, beautiful. Everything about this guitar screams, "I'm a $400 guitar". The sound-- most importantly-- is pretty rich for a cutaway concert size guitar with a pickup installed. I think it sounds great. My husband does, too, although he doesn't think it's quite as rich as a dreadnought. I don't hear too much of a difference.
With the Rogue instruments, this just isn't an issue. Want a twelve string? Only a bit over a hundred and sounds great! Want a mandolin? Nothing is stopping you at under $50. And, you really won't be disappointed, either. Even if you have to lower the action or pay for a professional setup, you still come way out ahead.
We have very expensive instruments in our house and we have these Rogues. The Rogues feel and sound as if they are $400 instruments. No comparison to the $100 famous brand starter guitars I looked at. This one will last for years.
