Sporting a "working" whammy bar, five multi-colored frets and a d-pad that looks like a black hole ... how could you go wrong? Heck, even the guitar's wireless functionality is unique as it requires a baby monitor sized USB wireless adapter to fully rock out. Best of all, it isn't licensed by Rock Band or Guitar Hero, so your guess is as good as ours to whether it'll actually function or not. Also note that if you actually purchase one of these sad excuses for guitars, then expect to be whacked over the head with a NERF bat. Rock on!

Well it IS only 40 bucks.

but until the official les paul is released seperately from GHIII, this is your only option for a wireless guitar without the game included.

Uhm, this has been out for a while I believe. o.o I've seen them at Walmart for atleast the past few months, if not longer.

Wow what a horrid design. Is that the head of the guitar or an unfinished product? And WHY on earth did they pick a flying V style? Why is the body only have the length of the neck? Have these people even seen a guitar before? I've been waiting for an option other than buying the GH3 bundle again and it looks like I am stuck with the most pathetic products.

Real guitars aren't wireless... !!!

I'm currently in the process of hardwiring my GH3 wireless guitar into a single guitar. Pretty much finished it last night but strumming down on the yellow button shorts it out... =\

@ Syn
real guitars also don't have colored buttons. what's your point?
Boff @ Mar 11th 2008 5:32AM
Why all the hate? Thought the RB people would be happy that at least there's another wireless option for them now.
mgroves @ Mar 11th 2008 10:31AM
It says it works for "Xbox 1" too....why exactly you would want that is beyond me...

Doesn't have the fret buttons on the upper portion of the neck which are CRUCIAL to finger-tapping your way through those near-impossible Metallica solos on Rock Band.
Besides, does anybody even still play Guitar Hero? O.o
ZeroCorpse @ Mar 11th 2008 7:07PM
Does it look a bit-- erm-- phallic to anyone else? Why did they go with a "spear" or "helmet" shape at the end of the neck?!?!
Ewwwww....
