The Rogue Starter Acoustic Guitar is an amazing deal for a small-bodied guitar. The smaller profile is very playable for kids, has nice tone, and can be yours for chump change. It has a maple neck and rosewood fretboard and comes set up with Martin strings.

Gauge: .024. Elixir Acoustic Guitar Strings are covered with an ultra-thin, space-age polymer tube that contacts the string on the tops of the windings only. This leaves the all-important winding-to-winding-to-core space free from the fear of the enemies of tone!Elixir Polyweb coating permits strings with the feel, bright tone, and punch of traditional strings. Elixirs are the first major innovation in strings in over forty years, and they deliver what they promise: great tone and long life no matter what you put them on or how often you play.Most players report that Elixir Strings keep sounding great 3 to five times longer than ordinary strings.

The Martin 000CX1E Custom Solid Top Acoustic Electric Guitar is an earth-friendly update of the classic 000 design. Features a solid spruce top, HPL (High Pressure Laminate) body, a cutaway for full access to the entire fingerboard, and Fishman© Classic 4 Sonicore electronics. Martin has substituted specially-engineered alternative materials such as the HPL wood fiber laminate and Micarta in place of increasingly scarce hardwoods.
