Rogue RA-090 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Sunburst


From Rogue comes this amazing deal in the RA-90 dreadnought acoustic guitar. The Rogue guitar is an ideal instrument for the beginner, or young musician. The body depth and width bring out balanced tone and plenty of projection to be heard from across the room.This ultra-affordable dreadnought acoustic guitar features a whitewood body, which brings out lots of mid-range punch. The nato neck adds sustain without losing any strength in tone. The rosewood bridge and fretboard add clarity to each note, and a striking look to the front of the guitar. The RA-090’s C-shape neck, 1-2/3″ nut width, and 16″ radius help with intricate fretboard movements when running up and down the 20 frets. The RA-90 also features nickel hardware and covered tuners. This Rogue acoustic guitar will certainly get the job done, at a price that anybody can afford.Case sold separatelyCheck the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

So, here’s the deal…, June 16, 2012

This review is from: Rogue RA-090 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Sunburst
I am no expert, but I’ve owned many guitars over the years. Finding myself without a six-string (have primarily played bass lately, and sold off other guitars), I sought out the greatest bargain that I could find. Though I have no problem buying a more expensive guitar (have owned a Martin, as well as mid-line Epiphone and Alvarez), no particular model was speaking to me, so I thought I’d find something cheap to tide me over. This model fit the bill, but with some caveats.

Since I know most people considering a guitar are either beginners, or people buying as a gift for a beginner, I will speak to you.

First, the good news. Cheap guitars have come a long way in the last few decades. Using a combination of automation and cheap labor (most are built in China, Korea, Indonesia, etc.), manufacturers are able to turn out remarkably solid instruments. While I can’t speak to the consistency (I got a winner, and someone else may have a dud), they are able to produce an instrument that has the FOUNDATION of being a playable guitar. The one I received was tightly built, with straight neck and body. It was lighter than many guitars using substandard woods, and aside from a few rough patches in the finish (mostly on the neck and headstock), it looked pretty and polished out of the box.

To make guitars like this, manufacturers cut some corners. You’re not going to see a solid spruce top or rosewood fingerboard. Spruce is important for a nice mellow sound, but going without is fine for a beginner or beater guitar. You’ve got to give up something for the price, right? The fingerboard is probably some light wood that’s been painted black, as is the bridge. This might wear to some light spots after years of playing, but that’s not a big deal.

Here’s the catch: Virtually all cheap guitars absolutely require a little work to make them comfortably playable. Actually, most more expensive guitars are routinely taken to a tech (or “luthier”) for a little tune-up before experienced players consider them “finished.” The basic tune-up for a guitar is called a “set up.” A basic set up typically includes setting the action (height of strings from fingerboard), intonation, adjusting the truss rod in the neck, and putting on some quality strings. The tech may also dress up the frets with a file.

My guitar definitely needed the action lowered. High action will drive just about anyone crazy, as it wears out your fingers trying to fret notes. It also had sharp edges on the frets (very common) which will create discomfort as you run your hand down the neck.

So, for this guitar (and for any guitar you buy, really), you need to include the cost of professional setup in your budget, unless you know how to do this stuff yourself. How much does that cost? Realistically, it’s going to be more than the cost of this guitar. Pro setups usually run around -75, and I don’t recommend going with a job. Don’t take it to Guitar Center. Take it to a guy in a little shop who will give you the time of day, and seems to know what he’s doing. Sure, this will have you paying around 0 for a guitar, but it will be one you’re happy with. Buy a 0 guitar, and budget 0…it’s just the way it works. More expensive guitars usually have a little more polish and detail work, but they usually still need a setup. A pro will also be able to tell you if there are manufacturing defects that would warrant a return.

For me, I have a brother who’s good with this stuff, so I saved myself a few bucks. The end result is a very nice, playable guitar that stays in tune well, and has already given me many hours of enjoyment!

This review is from: Rogue RA-090 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Sunburst
This is my second acoustic guitar and I bought it primarily as a beater guitar. It is beyond the quality of a beater guitar. The sound is outstanding for this guitar. I absolutely love it. I am throwing some classic old gibson style inlays on this guitar from […] for only . It will look and sound like a million bucks! I could compare this to a “quality” guitar that is 10 times the price and it would fight a fair battle. They made this instrument very well in every aspect. I give this guitar 10 stars out of 5. It’s off the chart amazing and it’s only !
P.S. it is surprisingly light for a dreadnought acoustic but I would not consider this a con

This review is from: Rogue RA-090 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Sunburst
I have an Alvarez acoustic electric, which I love. I purchased this as a spare (travel, jamming with buddies, second guitar for alt tunings, etc.). I also purchased a case and a pickup (http://www.amazon.com/Crazy-Cart-Guitar-4-Band-Pickup/dp/B005O7MMP0/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325279965&sr=8-2-fkmr1) which I haven’t installed yet. At the end of the day I will have an acoustic electric with a hard case for around 0. Not too shabby.

The guitar comes with light strings which are kept loose during shipping. As a result, I had to tune it and play it for a bit to get the strings to stretch out. After that, it seemed to hold a tune just fine.

Out of the box with the stock strings the guitar sounds great. It is a little bright, but that is to be expected with light strings. I plan to restring with mediums and expect that to warm up the low end.

The neck is a little thicker than my Alvarez, but it was still comfortable for me to play (5′ 9″ male). The action was plently low. Of course, the light strings help as far as playability. I may see if I can lower the bridge piece just a tad when I restring it with thicker strings. (I like super low action and even had my Alvarez bridge lowered.)

Mine is the sunburst model. I think it looks really cool and vintage. However, I’m thinking about taking some fine sandpaper and maybe leaving it in the sun for a bit to make it look older.

I still can’t get over how cheap it was. I may even buy another so I can get crazy with the alt tunings, maybe do some goo goo dolls covers. 🙂
