I've only played maybe 3 of them and I could find better guitars for the same money. Rogue is a 3rd line of Gibson. Gibson - Epiphone - Rogue, just like Washburn - Oscar Schmit - Lyon/Vinci. As a Washburn dealer I can tell you that Lyon and Vinci guitars are, to my knowledge, ONLY available at big box stores ala Target, Sears, Kmart, etc. Likewise Rogue is only available, to my knowledge, from
MusiciansFriend.com and maybe Guitar Center? I've never been to a Guitar Center, I don't know. I know they're the same company but they do have a few unique products lines to themselves. It's been my experience that anything that comes from a big box store or mail order from a large chain has not been set up. I'll probably be taking a Lyon Strat clone in on a trade later this week and I've not yet made up my mind if I want to take the time and money to fix it up to sell or just use it for parts.
The coolest thing about my job/business is that I get to stock about 4-5 guitars that on paper are pretty much the same guitar and then play them side by side. It's fun to show customers the difference in them, however, the hardest thing a new player/customer can appreciate is how a solid top will open up down the road w/playing.
