Customer Reviews:
- Better but ....: I bought two of these on April 15. First off, one of them came with a broken battery case. It was missing the nut that you need to screw it into. On top of that, over one month later, I still haven't seen the guitar, although EA's customer service has been courteous.
That being said, this review is for the second guitar. In comparison to the wired version that came with the game, the strum bar feels much tighter, but still lacks any tactile feedback as to when the "string" is plucked. The fret buttons and whammy bar still feel the same, which to me is good. The overdrive detection still never activates when you want it to.
Overall, this is still in the same boat as the wired version, in that it is fun and has good feel, but is not as precise as the GH3 guitars. - Dont Buy Yet OverDrive Doesn't Work: This is my third return to amazon for this guitar the strummers work good but the overdrive doesn't work you have to push the back button.
- A great guitar overall...: Although still not perfect, this wireless guitar is a great improvement over the original wired model. I never would have thought that being "untethered" would make this much of a difference, but the lack of wires makes "rockin' out" a lot easier. Though my guitar was demonstrating poor tilt detection out of the box, it's improved dramatically over the last few days. The Guitar Hero faithful may still find this guitar's strum bar a bit too "muddy," but the increased size and overall beefiness of Rock Band's guitars have made them my personal choice.
The only real complaint I have is with the guitar's power source -- it's a little bit obnoxious to have to find a phillips-head screwdriver just to change out the 3 AA batteries. Still, if you're a Rock Band player looking to add another guitarist/bassist to your ensemble, this is the axe to buy. - I must have gotten one of the first batch...: I have been reading some of the reviews and realized I am one of the unlucky few. I cannot even get mine to synch with my 360. I will be contacting EA for a new one.
BTW - The game itself is great. I am also a guitar player and my son is a drummer. We have a fantastic time playing each other's instruments. - Don't Buy Yet! They're Broken!!: EA has done it again...I had to return my original wired controller (along with thousands of others) because of a defective strum bar. Now I get my shiny new _wireless_ guitar and guess what? THE TILT SENSOR DOESN'T WORK!! I would recommend you not buy this until EA sorts out the problem and Amazon either returns all of the ones they have to EA or sells them to some other poor sucker.
