I bought from kirsteins.de a Rocktile L 100 sunburst here's what i found:
let's talk about the product:
The guitar quality is very low but it's normal and expected as is a super cheap guitar, what i saw in my instrument:
1) A node on the wood of the maple neck and a little bit of strange sanding near the node in the neck;
2) The scarf joint is made from a lame ass worker that fill it with a lot of glue;
3)The electronic van was filled with a strange white dust that stinks... i cleaned and i found the worse electronics that i ever seen in a guitar. The solder job is absolutely made by a rookie and i found some tear of stain(maybe the guy made and error soldering or was badly repaired);
4)The pickups sound ok but there is one magnet that is higher than the others without a sense(they made a mistake in staggering only one pole :O);
5)The fretboard was a major problem, it was so dry that was very unconfortable to touch and i was forced to oil it...after some days the rosewood is returning back to normal(maybe it was kept in a wrong storage...i don't know i never see a thing like this).
What disappointed me a lot was the fact that at first bending the B string was already broken... yes i know we need to change the string very fast, but i would like at least to try the guitar...
Those problems are manufacturer problem so we can't blame kirstein that is only a shop...what i didn't like from kirstein is the fact that the guitar was not intonated and the fact that you have at least guarantee a decent string pack.
The general opinion is:
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN GUITAR AND ARE WATCHING FOR A NEW ONE AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!! Go for a pacifica, a squier affinity or a good epiphone. everything under 150 bucks or euros is just no good for you my firend. I gave 3 stars because i knew already what i was buying and i agree i can't ask for more for 95 euros(incl. shipping) and because i bought this guitar for modification and to make a custom guitar... If you want to experiment and you are experienced in working on electronics intonation and are prepared you can buy it because of the rosewood fingerboard(rosewood is now protected) and the light basswood body...

change tuner, then it becomes a good practice / everyday guitar

Am really positively surprised. The paint is, well, let's say just so acceptable (paint noses,...) but I do not care, and the tuners were replaced with ones from Kluson (not even 30 €). Now this is really an absolutely usable guitar. Very well playable! The neck has very little varnish on the back, and feels nice and rough. My new everyday practice guitar that sits handy near the sofa. Absolutely worth the money. The tuners, however, you should really exchange.
article i.o.

although inexpensive but that does not have to be: Goods is a complete Monday production - edging for the neck and the Boddykanten have paint defects (act like wiped varnish) and thus missing high gloss - as well as other defects such as 0/815 strings (high E when tuning torn) and despite my request - but sharp fret ends - but I decided to keep them after modification, polishing as well as processing of still available guitar accessories - but the hit is something else!!!
For little money a good instrument!!!!

For small money a good instrument. Clean workmanship without significant flaws or quirks...The only thing that needs to be replaced are the strings because these are already torn me when tuning. From the sound it is not to be despised and with a ground defect device it sounds like a great Paula.
I changed the string action a little bit and it's good.
In short......clear buy recommendation and full marks!!!!

I had the guitar given to me as a travel guitar, where I'm not so sorry if something gets damaged on a business trip. However, I did not expect that the instrument can be so fun. The workmanship is excellent except for a few small things.
Strings need to be replaced as we do with all lower priced instruments.
The fingerboard has a few tiny cracks, but they don't bother. Should be oiled.
Great sound without amplifier.
Pickups are ok, but pinch harmonics are not possible with them (replaced them with Wilkinson pickups).
The neck is not, as mentioned in the description, slim, but rather corresponds to the model "half baseball bat" of an original Les Paul Standard. I don't mind it. It is not lacquered and feels very comfortable.
The guitar is very top heavy, so you should use a good leather strap to get that under control. But that is often the case even with very expensive instruments.
The tuners run cleanly, are tuning stable, pots and switches are impeccable (I have experienced worse in much higher price ranges), varnish impeccable. Meanwhile, I play the guitar much more often than on trips.
Conclusion: With little rework you get an instrument with unbeatable price-performance ratio and high fun factor. If you invest another 40 € for a few mid-range pickups, the guitar also sounds great on the amp. Due to the thick neck, the guitar is in my opinion only conditionally suitable for people with short fingers or small hands.
