Rogue RA-090 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Natural

I just received my Rogue RA-090 guitar today from Musicians Friends. Actually, it is a nice guitar for a cheap price. At first, I was thinking that it was going to be a kids guitar but this is not a kids toy. I'm glad of that!!! This is a real guitar for beginners or people who needs a traveling guitar to carry around and not worrying about the surface getting scratched. This guitar is put together nicely, and it sounds wonderful. For $40, I would recommend people to purchase this guitar. My guitar came in mint condition, no scratches, no strings detached or nothing, everything was perfect, and package real good. The only thing I had to do was tune it up and start playing. Be sure to purchase a Snark tuner as well. Snark tuners are perfect for tuning quickly and accurately. I will definitely do business again with Musicians Friends, very quick arrival of my package. Plus it came a day early.

It's very very solidly built but light, like wield-it-as-a-sword type of light. I am still using the original strings and I agree that the strings are on the tight side. Compared to friends' acoustics I have played, this one is usually louder and its ring is more "pop" if that makes sense. I recently played a Jasmine acoustic/electric and the Jasmine was more serene sounding and each strum blending, compared to this one where each string rings distinctly and with flare. On this one, action is high so when strumming carelessly hard, I have to make sure I press down harder or else it will buzz ... but I don't mind this because it helps me learn properly ;) Everything I...Read more

I purchased this guitar after watching a youtube video of an experienced musician playing one & he was impressed! I am a beginning guitarist. My thoughts were that if he believes it's the best bang for the buck, I'd take a chance. He was right & I'm enjoying my Rogue acoustic.
