Wireless Rock Band Stratocasters now shipping

by Dustin Burg { Apr 2nd 2008 at 2:30PM }

A reminder to our fellow Rock Band owners who didn't go all-in with a big box purchase or want to rock out free of those wired constraints. You should be seeing stand alone and completely wireless Rock Band Stratocaster guitars hitting retailers this week for an MSRP of around ~~$69~~ $59. Cosmetically, the Stratocasters are identical to those included in the big box of Rock Band fun, just in a new wireless flavor. Remember, you can also pickup the drum kit as a stand alone peripheral at retailers for around $79.

[Thanks, Matt]

can't wait to get one

I want one but not for that price.

Yay you used my news tip! I might get one to replace my GH II guitar that I have sense the whammy bar is way loose. I might send the one I got with the bundle back to EA again cause I still have to fling it like crazy to start overdrive. And it seems I have to strum a little bit harder when I strum down then when I strum up. Anyone else have this problem?

On the dashboard and on gamestop.com, it lists it for 59 bucks.

thanks for informing me on when the 360 guitar is coming out!

Will this model have the staying power of a dollar store toy as well?

Neopath @ Apr 2nd 2008 3:38PM

What I want to know is when is this going to be bundled in the box?

jinn35 @ Apr 2nd 2008 3:43PM

hey, anybody know why the 360 guitar hero III les paul guitars aren't available yet, or if they are, where can I find them?

Mrblonde @ Apr 2nd 2008 5:08PM

YES!!! Replay system is back!! They will be available on the 16th

Cerixus @ Apr 2nd 2008 3:52PM

Will strumming this one suck as much as strumming the wired one?

Lewis @ Apr 2nd 2008 5:16PM

/fail.

RB guitar pwns.

Mrblonde @ Apr 2nd 2008 5:24PM

That's if I could get my overdrive to activate without having to fling it around

I wonder if the damn tilt function works on this one. I'm on my third RB guitar, and my tilt hasn't worked since Day 1. (It worked, poorly, on my two previous ones, which had busted strum bars.)

I can literally swing the guitar around over my head, and overdrive won't activate. The strum bar on this one works fine, though. Must be an either/or thing.
