For a guitar controller with RB3 and the song pack, it's worth the price. However, the serious player will want a higher quality guitar.Pros and cons: There is no whammy bar, which is technically accurate to the model of guitar, but this can be limiting, and it's not as multi-purpose as other guitars. Although, the technically accuracy was well done - the twist of a nob where you'd normally press a button feels cool and well thought out. On the other hand, the strum bars click loudly, which I'm not a fan of. The tactile feel isn't bad, it's just loud. But I really do love the bar above the strum bars where you can hang your thumb, and I miss it on other guitars. The neck of the guitar is not as solid, it bows with pressure and doesn't look or feel anywhere near as nice as the Fender Stratocaster. But the strap is a nice, wide, soft cloth material that is far better than what comes with the Fender, so comparing the two is just confusing. Bottom line, they really nailed some aspects, especially in terms of design, but then took some shortcuts (likely to keep the cost down) which really hurt the final product. A good product overall for most players or as a 2nd (or 3rd) guitar, but those particular about their controller should plan to spend more.

It is so nice having another guitar to complete our RockBand set! I was a little weirded out by the split finger strum at first but now I find it much easier and comfortable to play than the guitar that came with the set. It is slightly larger and heavier than the RB guitars but I find that I prefer it. The ugly super shiny fake tuning knobs could go away though. They serve no purpose whatsoever and just look out of place. The knobs that replace the buttons (start etc) are a plus as well, less time is spent accidentally pausing the game. The whammy knob is a little harder to get used to, as it is in a different place on the body of the guitar than the bar is on the others. I get somewhat lost trying to find it so rarely use it. I'm sure with more time playing, that will change though. Rock on, Mad Catz!!

I expected this to be like the guitars I use at my sister's house. On this the neck is longer, there are 2 tab for strumming and there is no wammy bar but a knob I have to move my hand to turn. If I didn't need something to use on RB3 I would have returned this. Also, the card for songs I will never play .... why not just credit for 5 songs? You don't even get to choose which of Red Hot Chili Peppers songs you want.

Trying to get started in rockband is expensive, and for those of us who prefer to play bass anyway, this is a perfect starter set. The controller feels good and comfortable for playing bass although its a bit odd-feeling for playing guitar pieces.

There wasn't a star for what I wanted to say, I don't really hate this guitar, except this is not what I received, I got the pro bass with strings instead I HATE IT. It isn't what I ordered but when I looked to see what all was involved in returning it, I decided I would just keep it and never order again. If I would have gotten the bass with the strum bar like I wanted I would have been pleased.... Lesson learned.. When you order online you never know what you will get.
