Xbox 360 Guitar Hero World Tour - Stand Alone Guitar

I own the corded Guitar Hero II guitar, the wireless Les Paul from Guitar Hero III, the Rock Band 2 guitar, and this guitar from Guitar Hero World Tour. I've played these guitar games starting when Guitar Hero II came out for the Xbox 360. I play both GH and RB pretty equally and love both games so I'm not here to put RB or GH down like a fanboi.

By far this is the most responsive guitar of them all. Strumming is quick and effortless and just feels right compared to the other guitars. I'm so used to the responsiveness that when I play with other guitars it puts me at a disadvantage and I mess up more.

I also prefer how this guitar--like the other Guitar Hero guitars--have slightly raised buttons for the frets (the colored buttons on the neck) as opposed to the Rock Band guitars which are sunken. It's much easier to slide up and down with the GH guitars.

At first I thought the slider button was a stupid gimmick, but after I learned to...Read more

this guitar replaced one that had a bum button and I already had one of these so I knew that they were good guitars I got this for a steal of a deal and it has been working great. no lags, no bum buttons, even used everything was there as if it was not used, and in perfect condition.

pros: great guitar especially for the newer GH games and works for all GH games as well

Cons: none I can think of I don't like the "break Neck" design but thats a personal thing since thats the reason my old one died cuz one of the contacts on the guitar neck fell off.

great for the money and will definitely get another if something happens to the ones I have

This guitar controller, as all of the Guitar Hero controllers, suffers from one problem that hasn't yet been fixed: Loose fret buttons. They required some breaking-in on the original Guitar Hero 2 white XPLORER guitar controller, but over time, even though the frets have changed slightly, problems with buttons not reading as being held down continues to be the biggest problem. I suppose it can really be blamed on the construction of the controller itself. The buttons wiggle in their holes. They aren't loose like about-to-fall-out-of-the-guitar loose, but it means you might pinch the edge of a button thinking you have it pushed down, and then you go to strum the note and you miss it. It's incredibly frustrating for someone like me. I play on Expert, and am constantly trying to better my score. And when you can't trust the controller you're using the fun is immediately sucked out of the game for me.

The strum bar is the other way that this guitar controller fails miserably...Read more
