A worthy starter guitar.
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.
Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.
Features
- Genuine spruce top
- Die-cast tuning machines
- Nato neck

I bought this guitar because i had some money left over after buying my bass. I've had it around three years now so I think I can write a pretty accurate review bout it. First off its very tough, its taken some pretty hard blows over the years and it just has a few minor scratches on it. It can also take the 90-100 degree south carolina weather in the trunk/backseat of a leather car and not be damaged whatsoever. Secondly yeah it may not sound as good as an ovation or talkamine or gibson, but its not THAT far off. I dont know about you guys but I'm happy with a close second best when the price difference is in the thousands. It dosent sound as rich as the others but the tone it has, I like. and besides that this guitar stays in tune amazingly well, I can't remeber a practice session where I have ever had to fine tune it until the next few days or weeks. And about the features, this is an acoustic entry level guitar people, what features would you really expect it to have? Now for the downside stuffs, after three years the only real complaints I have is that the bridge is cracking and so is the nut/saddle. But not at a fast enuff rate, I expect another 3 years out of this guitar before I have them both replace, which I will because this guitar is absolutely worth it.

This guitar I would say is a good starter guitar for a kid to beat on and miss treat.
I normally play the higher end guitars but I gotten this one as a gift over christmas. I figured it is the thought that counts and I should atleast play it to get use to it so when I am asked to play it. It does not sound that bad to the listeners.
First thing is first. The string high or action of the guitar is set up way to high for my liking. I do not like to fight the guitar to play it. But at the same time most starting out guitarist quit because they do not know or cannot adjust the action. I tried everything to get the string hight correct. My last ditch atttempt was taking off the strings and pulling appart the saddle of the bridge out and filing it down by 1/18th of an inch at a time to get corret hight. But here lays another problem. The fret board is made of rose wood. It looked like it was not cared for so I had to go over while my strings are off and re-oil them and polish them off so they look and stayed clean.
I am right now thinking of refretting the guitar because the frets sit pretty high up from the neck which cause a very undelightful buzz sound. I first thought it was my playing but I grabbed my other acoustic guitar and played it and I go no buzz. I took a better look and notice the strings in compairison to the fret board have about .9mm off space when I push on the fret.
For a real serious guitar player this guitar is a work in progress but for the price it is not a bad buy if you got the time to put work into it to make the guitar sound perfect. I do like how the wood gain is almost perfectly stright and solid. But at the same time I would of aged the wood longer to give it better deeps.
If your child or you are wanting to learn guitar I would strongly recomend it for that and that alone. But buy an electric tuner because this thing falls out of tune real easy.
If you are a hardcore guitar player like me. I would say look for a different low end guitar this one needs a lot of work to make it play and sound like a high end.
I would give it 3 out of 5 stars

Nice Job Folks and Thanx!

Comments about Rogue RA-100D Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
For so little money, you get a guitar that is perfect for the beach, camping, or wherever you wouldn't want to take your Martin or Taylor. It will need a good set up once you receive it, and will probably benefit from putting better strings on it (use Martin SP light gauge), but you'll have a guitar that will play well, sound good, and be worry free.

Comments about Rogue RA-100D Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I got this for a 12 year old grandson. He was really thrilled. The guitar looks really nice. One string snapped as we were trying to tune it so...the strings could be a bit weak. Or, perhaps we tried too hard to tighten the string. We just gave this to him for Christmas so I don't know how it works over a period of time.

Comments about Rogue RA-100D Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I've had this guitar for about four years now, so it is time to do a review on this seasoned veteran, who has seen countless hours of play time at my hands.
Intonation is good, but not great. I hardly notice any issues most of the time.
Finish has minor blemishes that don't bother me for the price. I have the black model and the paint is a bit blotchy, but hardly noticeable.
Sounds very good for an eighty buck instrument, and the tone has improved over time. Nice, rustic sound - somewhere in-between warm and bright. Honestly, it sounds like it is made of cedar rather than spruce, or at least mine does.
Tuners are okay. Stay in tune fairly well.
Bridge saddle, bridge pins, and nut are of the same, cheap plastic that the binding is made of. It is kind of flaky, but has held up so far.
Neck is glossy and not as fast as a satin neck.
Rosette looks nice for a decal.
Bottom line - it sounds good and plays well. I have received compliments, saying that it sounds/feels like a guitar costing several hundred more. This is coming from two different players, one a virtuoso, both who used to be professional musicians and have played for 25+ years. My friend who has been playing about as long as I have (10 years) brings his Fender acoustic to my house, but I always end up stuck with the Fender because he won't put my Rogue down! :)
When I bought this, I had planned on replacing this a year or two after I got it with a higher end instrument, but it is still my first and only acoustic guitar. Buy it.

Comments about Rogue RA-100D Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I am not an experienced guitar player (only been seriously playing for about 3 weeks) so I had no idea what I needed to look for in a guitar, but having read the many reviews for the Rogue RA 100D I felt confident that this would be a good guitar to start with, and I have not been disappointed. As many others here have reported the action is on the high end so I did end up pulling and sanding about 1/8 inch off of the saddle, but now it isn't too bad, and with the aid of youtube I have already learned "Sweet Home Alabama", "Hey There Delilah", "And Oh Holy Night", among others. Now if I could just get my chord transitions to smooth out.

Nice beginners' guitar. Just easy to play even if you have no idea of playing a guitar. It was really well packed so it arrives home in perfect shape. It is well worth it for only 80 bugs. Definitely a bargain!

Comments about Rogue RA-100D Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I guess you could call me a "professional musician" as I get paid to play some small venues, but I enjoy just hanging around a campfire and jamming with friends.
I bought this guitar 3 years ago with the mandolin. I wanted to get into the mandolin field and figured why not get a guitar with it for a few extra bucks? I was blown away by it.
After 3 years of heavy use as a campfire bandit it is still as awesome as it was when I first played it. It still stays in tune and it can take a beating. I have dropped it a few times (alcohol may have been involved) and it has gained a few battle scars, but nothing serious enough to need to have repairs done or replace it.
If you are looking for a nice guitar for dirt cheap, get this one.
When it comes to tone and sound, most of that is on you. You could have a $5,000 guitar and a $10,000 set up and it could still sound like doo-doo if you don't have a strong sense of the guitar. You need to build your own sound/tone. I can play any guitar and still have my personal sound so why spend a bunch of money on a guitar when this one works just as well.
*I have been playing guitar for 10+ years and play around 70 shows a year.
