5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet and sensitive, March 31, 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I have both the RockBand 2 box-set guitar (black) and this stand-alone guitar. It seems there may be some variance between individual guitars as evidenced by reviewers here on Amazon but here is my experience:

First, the stand-alone is nearly identical in materials, weight, and durability, the only visible difference being that the original is shiny black and the stand-alone has a traditional "sunburst" design, not quite as shiny. Both look good to me.

The neck fret buttons are equally clicky on my black and stand-alone guitars and reaction times seem to be the same.

The major differences are in the strum bar and overdrive sensor:
* The strum bar has a very quiet click to it, much quieter than the original black guitar and feels a bit tighter, which I like a lot.

* The overdrive sensor is MUCH improved, setting off your overdrive immediately with no delay. I find that if I keep the guitar level while playing I don't have issues with setting it off accidentally though it would be very easy to do. I prefer the new sensitivity over the original guitar.

As a real-life guitar player with multiple instruments, I find that the differences give each peripheral its own "personality" and I don't prefer either over the other; I just grab the closest guitar and alter my playing ever so slightly for the quirks of each, just like with a real instrument.

I have not had any experience with guitar peripherals from other manufacturers (Mad Catz, Niko). I bought this guitar because of its high reviews and because the official guitars simply LOOK better than off-brand guitars. I have not been disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly the same as kit guitar, January 29, 2009
By mcg480 (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought the Wii Rock Band 2 guitar/drum/mic/game kit from Amazon as well as the standalone RB2 guitar (for bass). I assumed the two guitars would be the same, but there are a couple of differences.

The first and most notable is the finish, the kit guitar is black & white while the standalone is sunburst. Not a big deal, actually I kind of like the variety.

The second difference that you won't figure out until you start playing is that the frets (not the strum bar) on the standalone guitar click, while the kit guitar does not click. I don't think this necessarily affects the ease of playing this guitar, but after playing the non-clicking kit guitar for a few hours, switching to this one feels kind of weird, and it *feels* like you have to work a bit harder to hit the buttons. Probably just my imagination though, as my score does not seem to be affected by which guitar I use, but it might bug some people.

Also note that I may have just got a bad guitar, perhaps it is not supposed to click.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Dead Dongle Lead Me to This Guitar, December 28, 2008
By spamgirl "spamgirl" (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
It boasted better reaction times, easier overdrives, yadda yadda. How does it perform? It definitely is more accurate than the original guitar, but I find it's really finicky as to whether it accepts your overdrive movements or not. I literally didn't move OR press a button, and it went into overdrive! It's better, but it's still annoying.
