Rogue Guitars

Lena,
Rogue guitars are an inexpensive line of guitars produced by Squier. Squier is the overseas version of Fender's Stratocaster, Telecaster models, and the excellent Stagemasters models. Bullets are also manufactured by Squier, and they are very similar to the Rogue models. The bodies are made of laminated woods (basically a type of ply wood). They are good beginner's guitars, but for just a few dollars more, you can purchase a Squier Affinity series (which has a solid Alder body), or Squier Standard series (which has a thicker body). The latest versions of the Squier Affinity series are excellent guitars and very well made. In fact, they seriously compete with genuine Fenders (made in Mexico), and I've even seen one or two that were every bit as good both in playability and tone as the Made in USA Fenders.

There is another line of guitars that are inexpensive on some of the auction sites, and are reasonably priced from online dealers. The brand is Raven (manufactured in Korea)and the quality is unbelievable. They are every bit as good or better as the "genuine" brands and models they emulate. For instance, I have a Raven RM2000 which emulates a Gibson Les Paul Standard Lite. The Raven is better both in playability and tone (solid Mahogany body and set Mahogany neck), and the fit and finish rival a Paul Reed Smith. In fact, I'd venture to say the finish is better on the Raven. I purchased my Raven on eBay for $180.00, and the "genuine" Gibson is close to $2,000.00.

For a beginner or less advanced player, I'd highly recommend the Raven (which you won't outgrow and is a truly superior product), the Squier by Fender series, or Yamaha Pacifica series. I would avoid the Rogue guitars as they are about as "cheap" (construction-wise) as you can get. If you're looking for decent to high quality instruments at entry level prices, don't be afraid to consider famous "no-name" brands as well. Go to: http:\\www.Rondomusic\bigstep.com, and check out their catalog. Their instruments and customer service are all top notch. In fact, their Tele copy (EG-100 @ $109.00) is a much better version of a Telecaster than the Jay Turser, Johnson, Galveston, Karera or other clones.

I hope this information is useful to you. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

I have a Rogue ST-3 electric guitar (looks like a Fender Stratocaster) I bought about a year ago through Musicians Friend. The price was reasonable and it plays quite well.

To Whom it may Concern: I am opening a variety shop and need to find out how to get a wholesale catolog of Rogue products. Thank You

yes, there is such a thing and im thinkin of buying the left handed black acousitc they have. i myslef am wondering if this guitar is worth buying. if anyone has any info please ket me know. thanx alot!

I've never played on a Rogue electric guitar and I don't really plan on it as I have a Dillion which is about as good as a Gibson. However, from what I have heard from fellow musicians, Rogue makes some really good bass guitars. They're much better (as far as sound and feel) than the Fender Squire bass guitars.

look LENA, you are dead wrong. i just bought a rogue acoustic/electric resonator guitar for my boyfriend through musician's friend and he loves it. he says it feels great and i know it sounds great. maybe you should find out a little more information next time.

I've seen that same ad from Musician's Friend. It looked tempting, but as the old adage goes "If it looks too good to be true...". Frankly, the idea of buying a guitar by mail seems very iffy, no matter what the return policy is. Wait a month, save a little more money and shop at your local new or used guitar shop. Hands-on is the only way to know if you're gonna like the guitar.
