Love it! Brings back some real nostalgia. Wish they would put Guitar Hero on the Xbox series and make some drums too!

Works great. Delivered on time. This guitar is compatible with xbox series x. It comes with a simple usb that plugs into the console, and the guitar is ready to go. Thank you

It holds very well. The way the strap can re-adjust and sit across your back/shoulders makes you feel in control, and that it wont just fall at any given time.
Also the buttons are larger and press easier than the older controllers for the 360 and Wii. It does take time to get used to the buttons if you are switching from a different guitar but it's definitely worth the purchase.

So glad I bought this. Works great with my copy of Rockband and I was also able to use it with a PC game called Clone Hero. Took a bit of extra setup for the Clone Hero game, but worked like a full AAA game.

If you plan on getting this for pc, there’s a few apps you have to download to get it working right, aside from that it’s pretty close to how the rockband guitars were, 10/10 in my opinion.

Works right out of the box for rock band 4 and Fortnite festival on Xbox as well as for Fortnite festival on PC. However if you buy this to play clone hero you will need to instal VigEm Bus and RB4 instrument mapper on your PC.

SO Many Design Flaws
|

Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.

Functional, but way too many design flaws. To start, the overdrive lift sensor barely recognizes you trying to lift the guitar. You have to lift the guitar a full 90° and sometimes I have to do it aggressively for it to realize I’m trying to go into overdrive. If you’re someone who goes for high scores by activating overdrive at the perfect time, just stop looking at this guitar right now. The buttons are nice, but if you use the lower solo buttons, the shape of the guitar gets in the way of your hand and it’s hard to navigate your fingers. The whammy bar is SO close to the strum that it’s just annoyingly in the way, even if you turn it away. The strum feels and sounds like it clicks twice when you strum, so it really throws off your ability to stay in sync. The post for the guitar strap is not movable and it sits in an odd position that seems like it was made for lefties. It stays connected better than the Fender Stratocaster, but takes up a USB port on your Xbox. There is no audio and video sensor for auto calibration, and the guitar was supposedly made for RB4. I have to assume whoever’s making this item never actually put it to use or has never played Rock Band. Very disappointed in Best Buy because I was told there’s a “restocking fee” if I wanted to return it since it wasn’t “defective”. Seriously, this many design flaws is the definition of defective. I only use the solo buttons so it’s unusable for me. You would think a design would get better with time, not significantly worse. The only pro is the buttons feel nice and the rechargeable option beats eating through AA batteries. I tried it for 2 songs and it’s sat in the box since.

If you’re worried about disturbing your housemates, this guitar is perfect; very quiet. I was using a super old guitar for my Wii before this, and I instantly felt like a better player when I started using this one.
