Great guitar with great price
Great looking guitar almost identical to the one that came with Guitar Hero 3. Guitar seems well constructed and sturdy. We bought a second guitar for our Wii system. So far we have tested it with Guitar Hero 3, Guitar Hero Smash Hits, Guitar Hero 5, Lego Rock Band, Beatles Rock Band, Band Hero, and Rock Band Country Track Pack and the guitar works perfectly with all...

NOT Compatible With Rock Band!!!
This is one sweet looking guitar, but it fails in that it is NOT compatible with Rock Band. Only Activision axes are compatible and they are only currently available with the bundle. Or else wait for the Cross Play Guitar adapter due out sometime this year. It does play well with GH3 and I actually prefer it than the one bundled with the game. This guitar is good to show...

This guitar is good to show off to your mates but dont make the mistake I did and expect RB to work with it!

We've had it for a couple of weeks now and are very pleased with it. Great product and great price.

I am happy to confirm that this guitar does indeed work with (Wii) Rock Band Beatles. I took a chance on it based on some information I found on the Rock Band website, and received the guitar today. It works fine. The guitar is also of better quality than the Xbox 360 Guitar Hero guitar we have, or the PS/2 guitar we have. I think it's a good value at the best Amazon pricing.

This review is from: Shred Axe Guitar Controller - White (Electronics)
I recently bought GH3 for wii, which came with a guitar. This guitar has the exact same feel as the original - even the raised line on the yellow key is identical. The shape is slightly different, and the strap attaches in a slightly different place, but this is not noticeable. Even after getting used to the original guitar, I cannot even tell which one I'm holding unless I check the label. Unlike the other reviewer, I do not find the strap comes loose while playing.
A few days after using the original guitar that came with the game it was already starting to not work as well - the yellow key would not work occasionally (apparently a design flaw in the original guitar with the neck not connecting well enough with the body of the guitar). However, I am yet to experience any problems like that on this guitar.
Highly recommended. 1/3 the price of the original guitar, and works equally well/better.

Be warned that this is a mini-version guitar. Thankfully my wife will use it, but even she prefers the regular size one. Probably good for kids, but skip it if you're an adult....

This controller will not work with the original Rock Band game. Rock Band 2, however will work with this controller along with anything that was made after Rock Band 2 as long as you have updated your console. If you have a 360 or ps3, you can buy the extraction pack move the songs from the first rock band to the second, but unfortunately, not an option for the wii.
As for the controller itself, very nice. Light weight, almost exactly like the guitar controller that comes with Guitar Hero. The mahogany color is rich and pretty as well.

I think the best part of this guitar is the price. It works great and best of all I can also confirm that it 100% works with The Beatles Rock Band. Yeah the guitar is a little small, but it does the job. This is a really good value if you are looking for a second or third guitar, or like me you just bought the game and not the game/guitar package.

This guitar is very nice and cool, works really fine and looks really awesome, the only thing I didn't like was the first time I used it, for some reason the yellow button didn't work, but I just remove the arm of the guitar and put it again and started to work fine. And then the "string" of the guitar didn't work well but after some use started to work fine. I had some minor problems but it works ok. =D

I was really eager to buy this new guitar to replace my two previous guitars. once it arrived, i did i trail run and loved it. but after three weeks or so, out of nowhere, my blue button just stopped working. I'm so angry and disappointed that this "awesome" guitar broke within a month I got it and I think there is nothing I can do about it.
