I am looking at the $49.99 Rogue F hole A style or the $69.99 Rogue oval hole A style. The only things that matter are a 1 1/8" to 1 3/16" neck size, straight neck and easy playability. I can do my own setup. Any other cheapies that anyone would recommend? Its only purpose is for something to keep at work to practice scales and such during lunch. 1 1/8" to 1 3/16" neck size.
Thanks,
Dave

Rogue is MF's house brand , of course , bought in volume on the far side of the ocean.
at that price point, they may all come out of the same factory,

{order enough and the contract can specify Your Name on the headstock.}

straight neck would be a result of sending back what you get , if its not.
as warehouse shippers of unopened cartons, that is to be expected,

and they do exchange substandard, less than satisfactory stuff, [been there done that ]
you get to be the final QC guy.

when asked, will even send 'call tag' so you don't have to pay return shipping.
