The neck on these guitars is actually pretty much the same neck as found on the Harmony H-80T Stratocaster copy guitars. Other than that, the only other significant identifier that these are the same guitar is because despite the headstock relabel, they have a regular Harmony EST 1892 neckplate of the skinner H-804 variety. Actually, if you scrape off the paint over the headstock you will sometimes find a "Harmony EST 1892" waterslide in gold under the red repaint and Rogue waterslide decals. These guitars are easily identified because the red finish flakes off easily under heavy playing, as it's usually just a thin coat of red paint over the older black paint job used for the Sears/J.C. Penney catalog except minus the case, strap, cable, and mini amp. They sold at $99.99 USD just like the same guitar under the Harmony brand did in the J.C. These are pretty much the same guitar as the late 1990's versions. Sometime around 1999, Harmony did one last round of H-804 to use up stock by painting these in a thin coat of red paint and labeling them with the "Rogue" brand for the Musician's Friend catalog.
