This is a great guitar, but be aware it is NOT compatible with newer games, such as Band Hero. They said they know it's a problem and have chosen to discontinue the product, but that's it. It works with most of the older versions of music games (Guitar Hero III, Rock Band 2, etc) but it doesn't work with the newest games. I called customer support about it and they said "too bad." They offered to replace the product if I paid shipping both ways (which is almost the price of the guitar new) but they said it will have the same problem. If you only want to play older games, this guitar is fine. But if you want something that will work on current or future games, I recommend choosing something else.
took 2 weeks to get it buttons are way to small and cant play guitar hero 5 with it to make it short and sweet hell if somebody wants mine i will let it go for 30 thats about all its worth
My only complaint is that the guitar is a bit small overall. I bought this controller as a 2nd guitar for Rockband2 (I'm told it does not work w/Rockband1) for the Wii. I guess I got a good one because I have no problem with the action of the buttons (although they do travel further when you press them down than the original controller), and I like the feel of the strum and whammy, no issue for me either with the +/- keys. The chamber on the back that holds the remote is nicely fitted w/a thumb release for the cord locking mechanism (instead of squeezing the sides). I like all of my Nyko Wii gear, this controller is no exception.
We bought 2 of these guitars about a year ago to play with Guitar Hero World Tour and 1 of them stopped working after a few months. The other one is fine but does not appear to work with Guitar Hero 5. How annoying to have to purchase new guitars when a new version of the same game comes out.
We bought this guitar last Christmas and we are still enjoying it after a year. It has survived a 7 year old and the rest of the family playing it. Of course it was a much better deal at ten bucks last year. I have not tried any other wii guitars but do not hestitate to buy this one.
