Test report: Rocktile Empire CF 6000FM Western Guitar
First impression
What catches your eye immediately is the simple yet beautiful design of this guitar. The Medieval Cross Inlays on the fingerboard and around the Schlagloch radiate a medieval charm. But also the screwed logos on the head plate radiate this charm. The corpus is made of high quality lime wood and very well processed. The black, glossy surface gives the guitar an elegant flair at the same time. The neck, which is not made of limewood but of spruce, is also narrow - this makes it easier to grip Barrè handles. Also the cymbals do not stand as with other guitars of this price class. All in all, the Empire is very clean processed and there are also no glue marks or other external flaws visible.hardware
The guitar is already equipped with a high-quality set D'Addorio strings. These are easy to handle, but are not suitable for beginners. These should therefore be exchanged with strings, which are more suitable for laymen. The mechanics are very precise and easy to control. This makes it easier to tune the strings and ensures excellent tuning stability. And even after repeated use, she does not detract and keep the mood. In addition, the Empire has an integrated pickup, which will not only be a stage musician. Equipped with gain control and a 3-band equalizer and a Presence control, the Empire Western guitar puts its mark on the essentials without going into detail. In addition, the Western guitar has an LED, with which you can always keep the battery level in view so that you never run the risk of being suddenly surprised by an empty battery.handling
The guitar is perfectly hand-held due to its small jumbo shape and light weight. So there should not be any big problems when you strapped them around the shoulder longer. Also, all 20 frets are easy to reach so that there is no tension in the first frets. It is quite easy to play and does not snarl when striking. Since it is already preset by the factory, one does not need to adjust anything to the Empire, except the tuning of the strings.sound
After they have been properly tuned and briefly recorded, you immediately get a camp fire feeling. The full and clear sound completes the overall picture and makes the Empire Western guitar a real rarity in this price class. Even in the upper frets the sound remains constant and clear and produces a very nice sound.Conclusion
Usually you can not find a good guitar in this price range. But the Empire of Rocktile convinces and surpasses expectations. So if you do not want to spend a lot of money and do not have much drumheads, but still want to have an extensive and presentable guitar, you should think about the empire. Not only does it shine with a great look, it also has a beautiful clear sound that is rare in this price class. This medieval charm also makes this Western guitar so extraordinary and extravagant.With this guitar definitely not only stage musicians and middle age fans get their money. Because once the appropriate strings have been wound up (or brought up), the Empire is also very suitable for beginners. With its light weight and matching body shape, it is easy and comfortable to hold, so it is not difficult to start the first guitar tests.
Whether on the stage, at the camp fire or just for the home - the Empire can be seen with its super processing everywhere and also a real recommendation for anyone who is considering buying a guitar.
All in all, a very cheap Western guitar, with a lot of potential, which one does not look at their low price.
