Rock Band Wireless Guitar Review

Rock Band Wireless Guitar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me first off say that I bought this wireless Strat because I was hoping that it would work with Rock Band and Guitar Hero. It does not work with Guitar Hero. That being said the guitar seems to be a little more solid than the one that came with the game. A lot of people seem to like the Guitar Hero Les Paul better. However, I really play guitar, and I can honestly say that this one feels more like the real thing. The buttons allow sliding chords, the buttons feel more like frets than buttons, and overall it seems more second nature when playing.
Ultimately, this is a purchase for those who need freedom from the usb hub and 10 foot cable. As for Guitar Hero, well their taking sides has forced me as a consumer to choose sides. I am sticking with Rock Band.

Rock Band Guitar Skin Review

Rock Band Guitar Skin

First off, I'm an avid player and fan of Rock Band and a founding member of the band Big Ole' Mollusk (Check the Xbox 360 leaderboards!). It's one of the greatest games ever made. I was stoked to get these skins to set the various guitars we play with apart from one another. I bought the tiger design for myself and the octopus one for my brother-in-law. The designs are cool, and I got these instead of an off brand because they fit the art found in the game itself, and I though that was pretty cool. However, these are just flat out substandard.
When we got them, I was disappointed by what they were--stickers. I thought they'd be plastic static stickers that could come off and be swapped out, but they are flat out stickers. You put them on and that's pretty much it. You've got a big ole' sticker on your guitar. (You could go buy some stickers and trick your guitar out with those and be much happier). Maybe they should market them as Rock Band stickers, not rock band skins.
The real reason not to EVER, EVER, EVER buy these is, however, is the cheap quality. We put them on played for about four hours. The next time we played, we put in about two more hours, and I noticed that the edges had started to turn white. In less than SIX hours, they colors started to rub off of these stickers!!!! Did they not think that your hand and arm would be rubbing against these for hours? Did they even quality test these pieces of junk? (On a side note, the sticker of an 8 Ball that my nephew put on his guitar has been there for months and has held up perfectly, even thought it's just a generic kid's sticker.)
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT buy these skins! Both of our stickers have faded after two playing sessions.
If you want to trick out your rock band guitar, I'd suggest either getting your own stickers since that's all these pieces of garbage are, or getting the plastic skins sold by AMR Racing here on Amazon (I haven't tried them yet, but they have to be better than these things!!!).
Ultimately, I wasted 20 bucks buying two of these and pretty much ruined the face of my guitar with whited out, cheap stickers. I'll have to scrape them off and use some Goo Gone to get rid of the last vestiges of this colossal waste of 20 bucks. Thanks for nothing MTV games. Great game, horrible stickers.

Guitar Hero World Tour Review

Guitar Hero World Tour

I always preferred the Guitar Hero guitar to the Rock Band guitar (play-wise anyway) but the quality of the Guitar Hero guitars is weak. GH3 guitar had problems with the connection between the neck and the body. That has been fixed with GHWT, but the new one lacks in new areas. Mostly the strum bar. Occasionally mine registers extra hits (RedOctane's fix is to "hold" the strum bar and not "strum or flick"). Also, it will occasionally not register strums at all (My solution to that problem is to smack the body of the guitar with my palm, which I shouldn't have to do at all). And, probably the most irritating thing, my strum bar feels like it's rubbing against something on the up-strum, which throws my flow off just enough to miss notes.
I've done some research and I'm not the only one having these problems. GHWT would be an awesome game if the guitar wasn't crap. I highly recommend GHWT if you have a guitar the works properly.
Hopefully they can get it right, because the guitar feels good in my hands, except for these couple problems.
