- Here is an honest evaluation of a new Rogue F-style Mandolin that came into the shop for a setup. I am NOT affiliated any anyway and have nothing to gain or loose if you decide to purchase one of these mandolins.

My mother's family is from the Winona area, my grandmother had an old wives tale remedy for wasp stings and bee stings. She would take some tobacco and wet it and put it directly on the sting making a poultice and leaving it there for an hour at least. I know this sounds silly but trust me it works. Try it and see, one cigarette will last a long time and take care of more than one sting. Remember what Huck Finn said, "Jim said bees won't sting an idiot but I don't believe that, I have tried them lots of times myself and they won't sting me", so all the stings might mean you're smart.
Been wasp stung too.. oh its horrible. That Rogue looks like a great starting point for a good mandolin to learn and play, and not be ashamed of. Your setup does it justice👍
Glad to see they are now making F-styles. They just made A-styles for a long time.
keep a can of snuff handy for stings. Make a paste from it and it will stop pain and swelling at once. My grandpa showed me 55 yrs ago
Wonder if it's the nicotine in tobacco?
I have the same model. First one had a neck separation within 6 months. Second one was un-tunable - the distance from fret 1 to nut was off, by a LOT. $50 for luthier to cut fretboard and re-set the nut to fix. If you can do ALL the setup work yourself, still a good buy. If not, good-bye.
Sounds great! I am 100% with you regarding the nut-it’s only function is to clamp the strings in the correct position. From a physics perspective, all the sound-producing motion happens at the bridge, where the force is coupled to the top between the f-holes, which acts as a “speaker” to radiate sound into the air. Attention to the bridge, its fit to the top, and the bracing gives a good return on investment of time.
Sorry about your hand. Good to see it’s okay now. Every work you do, you make it look so easy and simple; I know it’s not. LOVE THE T-SHIRT!
I don't know if you like wearing masks when you sand but I don't so I recently bought a crash helmet on eBay that does all the things that you would expect from a face mask, it protects the eyes and keeps out the dust together with protecting the ears from excessive noise just thought I would offer this as a suggestion for anyone that has the same dislike of face masks as I do.
Pretty cool sound and For $ 50.00 or so.I might have to try one as an entry level one.I have been playing electric guitar for years.Thanks Jerry.
Thanks again jerry it's a great playing mandolin
Hi Jerry, I have complete empathy for the bee sting been there done that,,,, damn things. That instrument sounds very nice for the price,,surprise!! Nice job.
Great video Jerry, I just ordered one of these. I tried one about a year ago and, I had to send it back just about everything was out of wack plus the workmanship and finish was very bad. Hoping for a good one this time.
I purchased an A style a couple of years ago and, it was darn near perfect out of the box. Just lowered the action and a new set of strings and, it is a nice mando. There are a lot of mandolins on the market that are made in China and some are way overpriced but, this one isn't. I'm not a fan of overpaying for anything if there really isn't that much difference. I've learned throughout the years that the musician makes the difference. High quality instruments are nice to have and play but, not at a ridiculous premium price. If overall everything is as it should be a little setup work can make a tremendous difference.
My wife and I dont smoke but we keep a cigarette in the junk drawer so if we get stung we can wet some tobacco down with spit and put it on the sting it will make it feel a lot better right after it happens. Leave on on as long as you can stand or bandage some tobacco on the wound. It works.
on the positive side they say that wasp and bee venom is really good for alleviating the pain and grief of arthritis so there is that ...lol as always a really informative video which compels me to come back to you for the next one
this is the same one i have, ho boy mine needs to be setup just like that.
great job. I would suggest to first knock down any sharp frets so ya dont cut your hand up. I played a show with a 3 hour old cheap guitar and my hand was literally shreaded, so i got a Tetnis booster shot the next day. Are those Red Wasps the ones that look like red velvet? Theyre beautiful but maybe not so fun to get bit by one
I know those Rogues are inexpensive but that one sounds very good to my ear. Or course a good set up helps it a lot.
This makes me want to get one of those Rogue mandolins. This is the second video I saw of you setting up a Rogue.
I was telling my nephew not to worry about the red wasps nearby, they won’t sting unless you bother them first....
NOT! Just then a couple came outta no where and stung me lol
Same thing happened to me. They are very aggressive.
I'm not a luthier by any means, just a modder and repair guy.
My forte is taking an inexpensive and humble instrument, and making it sound, look, and play like a much more expensive guitar. Electric guitar making is not rocket science.
I don't work on many acoustic instruments, because I find them a bit finicky and temperamental.
One little goof, and the thing goes south, and tone is lost. It's kind of scary.
So I love to watch an experienced expert do work on acoustic instruments. It's educational.
I hope you can keep your videos coming, as they are like a course in acoustic repair. I love them.
@Ahmed Marc Weak troll attempt.
You mentioned that the wasp sting probably wouldn't hurt any more if you had cut that finger off. I did cut a finger off (two, actually), and it just a small sting. I've had splinters that hurt worse. They were put back on but continued to ache for several years.
Bought a Rogue bass for $85 back around 2005. I did basic set up, set the action, set the intonation, & for $85 it sounds really good. Granted it's not a Fender, Alembic, etc., but for $85 it's not too bad. I did buy an old Korg/Tone Works AXB3 modeller pedal for $60 (Who knew a bass could sound 40 different ways? That's just with the presets.) So I'm happy with the old thing. (The guy who used to be my bass player was going to give me his old P pick ups, off of his RARE Fender Elite Precision Bass, [fender only made them for 2 years 82 & 83] after he modified it [didn't know what he had until after he modded it], however he "neglected" to give them to me before he moved to the Philippines.) Any way Rogues aren't bad for the price. I did have to buy new tuning keys after one broke a couple yrs ago. Cost me $25 for a new set. They are the "house brand" for Musicians Friend/Guitar Center, as I found out some years ago.
Enjoy all your videos
Benadryl helps with the swelling. I was stung by one in the thigh a few years back. Took about 6 months to heal.
Nice job Jerry!
Nice setup Jerry and nice playing!
it has a nice bark and seems to have lots of volume!
All the best with your hand. Nasty buggers!
Hi jerry great video 2 in 1 a set up and a Minnie review carnt wait for the next guitar installment
Great set up Jerry ! Next time you get stung use a cortisone cream to reduce the swelling that helps quite a lot ¨!
Great video, showing a lot of spots to look for sharp edges and the like. Will the "half-Waverly" tuners become more smooth over the years, in your opinion?
I feel for you those red devils hurt like hell. But I can say from experience DON'T get stung by a Hornet, they are a lot worse. Nice job on the Rogue Mandolin
Nice job on the Rogue! It's hard to believe at that price point it sounds that good,,but then again,I expected nothing less from you Jerry,, very nice job!
Great setup! Ya won’t get no honey outa that red wasp! lol
The paper may contain a rust inhibitor in it to keep the strings shiny.
Jerry
That hand looks bad*** I noticed the inlay on the head stock**that is a pattern I used for years. the hard part of using that design is the scaling it took me hours of printing to get the pattern to fit around the keys the right way. Chuck
Sounds pretty good! Maybe this brand would be good for me to start out with?
As a beginner mandolin I think it's very hard to beat these.
Wonderful video, Jerry! Thank-you for soldiering on, despite your.obvious, discomfort. I was just wondering if you would consider that "Rogue" Mandolin a viable entry level instrument. I play Guitar, Ukulele, and banjo, reasonably well, I think, but since I've been listening to accomplished players, such as yourself, I am longing to learn your instrument of choice.
They're hard to beat for the money.
Rosa String Works Thank you, Sir. ☺
Great video I just got one of these from a thrift shop and am now have the mandolin bug. Do you think it’s made of plywood? I was just wondering since it was cheap. Thank you for the great tips.
Respirator reminds me of a Star Wars reference: Luke, I am your father!Your reaction may indicate a mild allergy to insect venom.Instrument sounds beautiful. You must be using a high quality microphone to enable us RUclipsrs to hear the sounds so well?
No it's just the cheap you little mic hole on the cheap video cam.
*Bill Sutherland* - So, imagine how good it sounds live and in person!
Take care of that hand, buddy time for a jam !
Sounds Good!.Wasps are no fun,
Love watching your videos here in the north of Wales, would be be so kind as to let me know the name of the song at the end, I really like it 😀
If you're referring to the outro song. It's When Johnny Comes Marching Home, played Bluegrass style which is a little bit faster.
Fantastic thank you, it is what I thought it was. thanks!
Can a cheaper Rogue or Ktone be refinished? Possibly to a matte finish?
Rogue Mandolins, uncomfortably sharp all over, except for the sound! It's too high strung to be mighty! 8-))
Nice job, now sounds like a more expensive instrument! Stay away from those pesky critters Doc!
Gosh, it sounds like the factory has eliminated most or all handwork/touch labor during assembly process.
Mr Rosa I was stung by my ex years ago and I'm still hurtin I just wonder if she may be related to those darn Red Wasps Your videos work like a pain killer so keep administering please
The swelling - ouch. Have you seen a doctor. At least taken some Diphenhydramine
Actually it was the opposite Maybe I'm thinking more like Bloodsucking Leach as I lost a lot Nah no doctors involved just lots of beer and playin da blues
Hello Jerry . What do you charge for a full mandolin setup?
I charge $80 per hour most setup steak between two and three hours. Parts and shipping or extra
Rosa 'Sting' Works....
Rounded off the fret sharp edges with what??
Jerry, are you currently accepting guitars for repair? I've a Spanish classical guitar that can use your tender ministrations. Thanks.
Unfortunately I have a very long waiting list. My guess is about 4 months out at the moment. If you would like to be added to the waiting list send me an email please. Thank you for your interest.
How much would it cost to get this done, have the same mandolin just curious what it would cost to get this done to make it more playable?
It just generally takes me an hour or so on a new instrument. But if it needs front leveling and all that it can take a couple hours. I charged 80 bucks an hour. Parts and shipping or extra of course. Unfortunately I'm not taking on any new work because I have a huge backlog that I may never get through.
Rosa String Works thank you for the info.
I fill your pain I am allergic to most stings like those omg do they hurt
At what price point for a mass produced mandolin could a customer expect to receive a more "finished" instrument (if at all)?
Probably about double price of what these cost.
Gibson have been guilty of this in recent years, that's partially why they went in the the heap of trouble they are in now
I had one fly in my ear once. I just kinna laid there in the fetal position for about an hour, crying. I lost some of my hearing.
Are the decoration frets are really meant to be decoration or some players use them? I know nothing about mandolins.
Not used
It seems unlikely that on such a short scale that the 29th fret could possibly be placed correctly.
Thanks.
Rogue makes junk.
