I had a Rogue Lap Steel Guitar once before, but a family member was interested in it, and I didn't have time to practice, so I gave it away. Now I have the time, so I decided to purchase a new one. It is an entry level instrument, but it is very enjoyable and an excellent guitar to learn and improve on. It is light weight and the legs are easy to attach. You may want to change the strings for a heavier gauge, but that is a rather inexpensive way to upgrade. Overall, good value for the price.

For an entry-level lap steel, it's pretty good. I'd been "lap curious" for a while, playing slide on a regular guitar in open tunings, so when this was "Stupid Deal of the Day" I took a chance on it. Came with gig bag & legs all packaged neatly. Finish looks good, body is some kind of wood I guess. It sounds pretty sweet in a retro kinda way, has one anonymous single-coil pickup w/ plastic cover. Pots work fine, no crackles. Tuners are a bit sloppy, like an eighth turn of slack before the post turns, that would be the first upgrade I'd do. Fortunately it's inexpensive enough that a few upgraded pieces still puts it far below other steels in cost. Might have to get two or three & keep 'em in different tunings!

Good starter instrument, sounds good, no problems with my unit, I don't use the legs so can't comment on those issues some have had with. Does seem a little rough around the leg socket inserts but doesn't affect the playablilty for me. Having fun with it. An excellent value, for the price you can't beat it. It comes with a nice gig bag of suprising quality also. The strings aren't bad either.

If you want a top-end lap-steel, or if playing lap-steel is your main priority, then you should probably spend the money to get a higher-end instrument. If you're like me, and just wanted to try a lap-steel, the Rogue is a great place to start. I own about two dozen high-end traditional guitars - the brands/models you would know. I've played for 40+ years, but never owned/tried a lap-steel. For the price, I figured I'd try it if only to stay inspired to play. I have no problem recommending this instrument. It stays in tune surprisingly well and is very playable. It's motivated me to try something different. And for under $80, even if I only end up playing it once a month, it's well worth the cost.

Surprisingly good value. As other have mentioned, the legs are cheap, but I don't care about those. Everything on mine works fine, including the tuners. I swapped the single coil pickup (it's a decent, if low output unit) for a twin blade to stop any hum, and shielded the cavity while I was at it. It's easy to work on because of the removable control plate. The Strat bridge, for some reason, was intonated like a regular guitar, which is wrong for a steel, but it's easy enough to fix that. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the way they did the fingerboard markings, but that is a personal preference.
