5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Buy, March 27, 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
The Frontman for the Wii is an excellent choice if you want a cheaper, good second guitar for your Guitar Hero. It comes already put together. I could not see that the neck detaches (I was too busy playing instead of looking at the neck). Apparently, there are two different color choices. I received the yellow guitar with white and black pick guards. The other option is a white guitar with black and purple pick guards. There is currently no option for color choice on Amazon - what you get is what you get.
The guitar is comparable to the original, the Frontman is slightly bigger and slightly heavier. The buttons and strum bar are tight and I feel like it is better quality than the original. The strap feels like it is a bit shorter, but not a big problem. In all, I think I like it better than the original! I would suggest getting it as the second guitar for the co-op mode.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent GH3 Guitar, April 14, 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Just bought the FrontMan Wireless Guitar for the Wii and love it! In my opinion it's just as good as (if not a tad better than) the original one that came with the game. I like the fact the buttons feel a bit tighter and the fret bar seems to be a tad quieter. I purchased mine in a local game store and it was still $10.00 less than the original and well worth it to me!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK, but not as good as the Activision Les Paul, July 11, 2008
By Daniel J. Estes (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
As a huge fan of Guitar Hero 3, I bought the Nyko Frontman with eager anticipation that this guitar would be an equivalent, second controller for the GH3 game. Unfortunately, after using the Frontman controller, I greatly prefer the original Activision Les Paul controller that came with GH3.

First the good things: the Frontman controller does seem to be well constructed. The buttons all seem to be of high quality, and the design looks pretty cool. The whammy bar is also much more solid than on the GH3 Les Paul controller.

The main problem with this controller, however, is that the fret buttons are quite stiff. There is definite resistance in pushing these buttons down, and this resistance makes it fairly tough to play difficult solos in Expert mode. The fret buttons are also rounded and recessed, which again make them difficult to press quickly (the roundness also makes them difficult to hold for long periods of time). I became quite frustrated using the Nyko controller with tough GH3 songs.

One last downside - the Nyko controller, just like the GH3 Les Paul, is not compatible with Wii Rock Band. It's amazing how many accessory guitar controllers we have to buy just to have guitar and bass on both GH and Rock Band. Sigh...

In conclusion - the price difference between the Nyko controller and the Activision Les Paul ($10 currently) is not enough, in my opinion, to justify the stiff controls of the Nyko controller.

5.0 out of 5 stars My grandbabies love this guitar more than the one that came with GHWT.
I bought this guitar as a back-up for the GHWT and they love it. It's smaller and easier to handle. I recommend this for the little guys, ages 5-12 and the price was right.
