Rocktile Sphere Junior E-Gitarre 3/4 Schwarz - Retoure (Zustand: sehr gut)

I got this guitar for my daughter, she would like to play electric guitar. After a long search I stumbled across this, which also cut off in the test with 1.5 (place 4).
Since it was also the cheapest, I bought it directly. Good sound does what it should do.

On the one hand, the packaging is relatively poor despite outer box, but ok, it all arrived intact. I had because of the price rather my doubts, but these were completely unfounded.
The part is well playable, the string action after a few handles also ok, but the vibrato bracket wobbles even after screwing in the really long thread still ... This can, but need not be a final criterion...
I like it tight and direct.... Tuning classic EADGHE is perfectly fine, well, other strings have to be wound of course...But then the part can do quite a bit...The pick-ups make good pressure, the 5-way switch engages well and separates perfectly. The sounds are then clearly articulated, ranging from soft to heavy, depending on your preference, my recommendation to the manufacturers: An all in black variant, which could purely visually still tear out something.
Conclusion: A cool entry-level guitar for those who are not yet sure, or those who then want to make a corresponding upgrade with other mechanics. In any case, not only a recommendation for children or teenagers. A full-fledged mini-strat.

You shouldn't expect too much from an electric guitar in this price segment. However, there is hardly any choice when it comes to electric guitars for children under ~12 years of age.

We tested various models for our 9-year-old daughter:

The Fender Squier and Ibanez models failed for us, are really hard to play on or were constantly out of tune.

I can highly recommend the Jackson JS1X for children aged 12 and over, it is very solidly made and has slightly better tuners. In my opinion, it's the best short scale in terms of value for money. However, the guitar was simply too big for our child.

So in the end we chose the Rocktile:

Positive:

+ Passable sound
+ Can be played really well once it is set up correctly


Negative:

- The tuners are the biggest weakness. Tuning the guitar is a bit strenuous, but then the guitar holds its tune very well for 1-2 hours while playing and then only goes slightly out of tune. If you accept that the tuners are a bit tricky and that you always have to retune the guitar slightly before playing, the child can have a lot of fun with the instrument.

- The guitar was very badly set up when it arrived. You should therefore only buy this guitar if you already have some experience with electric guitars or have someone in your circle of friends who can set it up properly.

Hi there,
I was looking for a 3/4 electric guitar for my 8 year old grandson. Initially, I had a Fender Mini and the Ibanez micro in mind, but then decided for the Rocktile. In the end because it is much cheaper and has good reviews in tests. I thought that I would send it back if we were not satisfied with it. However, I must say that the part surprised me positively. The guitar looks good and high quality. I could not find any serious defects. The neck is straight, the string action was fine. The tremolo lever I have not even mounted, is not for children and would only lead to unnecessary detuning. I adjusted the pickups, in this case turned them up, which was done in 3 minutes with a scalloped screwdriver. I was able to tune it to standard E with no problem, with the strings buzzing slightly. If that bothers you, you can tune it to A, my grandson doesn't care.The guitar now sounds almost like a big one and is really fun.
My grandson is happy! For the price - I got it on sale for 79.-, clear buy recommendation! Best regards!

Everything top, very satisfied always again gladly very good
