Buy Cleartone, Elixer, or D'addario strings and get a free Rogue guitar. :D
Just got mine. It has a nice, balanced sound somewhat reminincent of an Adamas 47RI with fit and finish equal to a book Elite. :eek:
OK DREAMER SNAP OUTTA IT - It's a freebie and sounds and looks like it, but it would make some guitarless kid really, really happy and you get to try some new strings. :cool:
Free shipping to boot, so what's your excuse not to? |

You gotta get EXP 16's, 17's, 15's, or 26's.
They don't have 10-packs of EXP11's which I find kinda disappointing. :( |

Naw... And I really thought about it too.
But I already have a Vinci A/E Cutaway wood-box with a tuna, EQ, XLR, and all that crap.
(notice that it ain't on my sig)
It has been waiting for some poor desperate guitarist who needs it...
I don't need another crappy guitar that I would be too embarrassed to give away. :rolleyes: |

Only problem is I am an HONEST business owner so I would have to tell everyone NOT to buy that guitar. I couldn't even give it to a kid beacuse I want them to LIKE playing guitar. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | A better deal would be 100 sets of EJ16s for $400 currently on eBay. That's only $4 per set. I could use a bunch, but it would take me a lifetime to use 100 sets. They come in pro-packs of 10 sets each. |

Maybe another 4-5 members would commit (+ shipping on them) and you could grab them. |

I have a "Box" of 10 EJ16's in my strings drawer... But the box only has three sets in it.
I woulda been upset if I ran-out after the Free Shipping sale was over. |

I tell you what, when I was a kid I wanted a guitar so bad I could taste it. However, I didn't have a dime to spend on one, so I would have been grateful for a free guitar from anyone at all.
Compared to my first guitar, the Rogue probably looks like a custom instrument. |

It’s not a real guitar. It has six MIDI strings that you strum and a touch sensitive fret board that picks up the position of your fingers and plays the chord you want to play. It has a bunch of voice settings and can be changed to a bunch of different tunings with the push of a button. Plus you can get a little module to stick in it and play Guitar Hero with it.
I got one a few weeks ago. I love music, but I’m not much of a guitar player. This is a lot easier for me to play because it does not make my fingers sore. You are not playing cords on real strings. Just some silicon ridges on the fret board. It is light and small and does not go out of tune. It is also very forgiving with finger position and you don’t get muffled sounding notes.
The down side is that it might teach bad habits with sloppy fingering. But I think it would get a kid started playing and before long he would want to play a real guitar and have some basic skills that would just need some fine tuning. |
