I wrote one review but wanted to add this. It is an AWESOME enough Guitar that I have also added an undersaddle Pick-up (thinline type) and control panal and so I lowered the action a tad-bit more the stock at that time. I just installed Ebony End-Pins and the New Grover Gold Mini-Tuner set with new set of D'Addario (all I've used on all of my guitars for many years) EJ-38 strings this last week. WOW again, it rings and sings, and it's indeed a keeper! I suggest that you buy yourself an SKB Molded or hard case to protect it(fits Puuurrrrfectly), I did, and it's worth the investment. The overall Playability, Tonal Quality and the Austhetics are the reasons she is a keeper for me. Make the investment, you won't be sorry. Remember, most Guitars require some set up out of the box depending on preferance.

3rd year with the black finish 12 string that I cannot stop playing. People said you cant do this on a 12 or that on a 12. I show them wrong bar chords, power chords, single notes(though this is a bit tricky) it all sounds good. Gave away 2 other guitars sold my electric all I have is this 12 string and a Dean Ak48 both of which are OUTSTANDING instruments. With any guitar you run the risk of bad ones infact I had returned 4 other rogue 12 strings because of faults but I saw the beauty that this thing could bring and finally got one that was set up low low out of the box. Changed the string to a silk and steel set. Purely jaw dropping sound that can be loud enough to be played in a bar with a full band.

This guitar realy surprised me. It is worth way more than what MF has it for. No its no taylor or Gibson, but its really good. The only flaw with it is the action is a little high but still playable. I recommend getting one.

I had not owned a 12-string in over 25 years and upon receiving this one was greatly impressed for the price. I ordered theblack to match my Rogue Classic Spider resonator and other instruments. Played great right out of the box except for issue with ragged frets. A friend in repair business took care of that with a fret file. I have bought a 12-string capo and tuned it down a half step and used the capo. Made a great difference. Have a set of D'andrea brass tone pins I'm installing this week along with new strings. Should greatly improve volume and sustain. Bass is just right balance with the treble. I also go tthe Musicians Gear Drednaut gig bag and it fits beautifully in there. Being Blind, the backstrap type straps will help in my using my cane in travelin'. Buy it, its the best bargain around in today's economy and you'll like the sound with a little tweaking.

I've had the guitar for a couple of years but it's seen less than 10 hours of use mainly because I don't often play a 12 string. I have a half dozen guitars including two other Rogues and I'd have to say that this 12 sounds okay for the price but today the quality became an issue. I went to tune it up and noticed the bridge was lifting up 1/8th an inch on the back. I unstringed the guitar and the bridge was still lifted 1/16th on the back. I've popped the bridge off to reseat it and glue it back on and as soon as it was off I could see that the glue process was less than ideal and also a perfectly rectangle (1/2"x3"x1/32") plateau which makes it impossible for the bridge to sit flat and make good contact. I'll fix it but it surprises me to see this. Hopefully sometime in the last two years this manufacturing problem has been resolved because it's a fun guitar.
