You buy crap you get crap. If you're just starting out go for it, but know cheapo's like this one usually have poor action and are difficult to play past the fifth fret.

you can adjust action

actually, my middle school had a bunch of 80$ aria guiitar packs and their action was fine

Don't beginner Guitars typically have Great action becasue it is a "beginner" guitar. I learned on a Jumbo. What a fucking mistake, the strings felt like they were 4 inches from the fretboard.

I have a hohner hw220. It was $80.00. Has pretty low factory action.. Easy to play up and down the whole neck. Sounds decent. I play it more than I do my mid-level Takamine which is probably going to be sold soon because of the fact.

I've considered buying one of these cheapie dreadnoughts just so I can string it up in raised B, open Dmaj, or something like that. If the durn thing isn't going to last a year, then I'd sure get the use out of it I needed. No truss rod mentioned, and the neck is nato - that could be a big problem.

I bought the $40-50 Rogue mandolin and the $20 Rogue baritone ukulele recently and so far I'm very impressed. But I know they won't last forever.

On a side note, musician's friend won't put up a review if it's overly negative. They do have to make sales and all.

EDIT: Hey, my review is on the page for the Rogue mando! :lol:

If it really sucks, next time someone gets lippy with you while you are playing it you can just calmly stand up and smash it right over their head ala the "Honky-Tonk Man". Ya, That'll teach 'em to open their mouth...

its not a bad guitar at all. took a few re-tunes out of box but thats expect with a new guitar. For $50 i am completely satisfied, hell some of the kids in my guitar class have way shittier guitars that they payed more for. In fact there are some things about it that I like more than my Ibanez, such as hammer-on's seem like 100x louder and playing is much smoother. But the tone of the Ibanez is definately better. Anyways if anyone has any questions about the guitar feel free to ask away, I give it thumbs up for $46 shipped.
