Even Sweeter Deal now the price keeps coming dropping! I got mine 1 week ago from Amazon. I have the LesPaul (tiny) bought GH5 w/Guitar (little bigger) bought B.C. Rich Warbeast (Full Size) now the Logitech. Slightly larger than the GH5 not at Giant as Warbest. I'm 5'4 prefect fit for me. I enjoy that's it's Wood has nice feel not to heavy to me. The GRYBO feel comfortable to reach. The GH5 I always seemed to palm hit the PAUSE instead to STARPOWER button. Logitech picks are you STARPOWER button I enjoy that feature much more. I would've liked the Wammy Bar to be a bit BEEFY'er. Seems thin to me in contrast the rest of the guitar. I didn't use the enclosed strap as had metal rings, don't want to be scratching up my new FAV guitar. Joy to use!

I just purchased this PS3 Guitar controller, very nice hardware. I use a PS3 Slim and play Rock Band.
My only substaintial complaint is that the slidder function does not work. I contacted Logitech support, and they informed me that the slidder funcion is not avialable with Rock Band games; this is a Guitar Hero function. Not owning Guitar Hero, I cannot personally verify this, but the assistant at Logitech claimed first hand knowledge of this (claims to play the game).
Also note that the slidder on this guitar is in place of the "solo" buttons (the narrow set of fret buttons that are near the guitar body) that are on the Rock Band stock guitar. This means that during a Solo (in Rock Band Games) you will need to keep strumming.
I have played for several hours now, and note the following:
The fret buttons are in a tighter cluster than on the Rock Band 2 Guitar, making it easier to stretch across the five notes, though this also means that there is a bit of getting used to this after playing the stock guitar. The fret buttons are also smaller than the Rock Band Guitar (they do not reach entirely across the neck) so I had to eliminate my habbit of fingering the very edge of the neck, like I did on my stock Rock band guitar. It also seems that it is important to finger the buttons squarely in order to prevent missed notes, though even when pressing the edge of the button, it will regiseter most of the time.
Guitar is heavy as others noted, but I play mostly sitting down, so makes no difference to my palying.
The neck is quite fat (compared to most real guitars), which was unexpected. But it is barely more fat than the stock plastic one.
Overall this is a great guitar, full size, more comfortable for me as an adult, extermely nice upgrade from the plastic one. It is unclear if this will have any influence on making me a better player, though the fret buttons being closer together should help here.

If you're a wildly dedicated Guitar Hero superstar with money to burn, and you're looking to make your gameplay more "realistic," you probably can't do better than the Logitech PS3 Wireless Guitar Controller.
Logitech makes great hardware across the board, whether you're talking keyboards and mice, webcams, remote controls or gaming peripherals. Their products are always well built and generally excel in their ergonomics. The Wireless Controller is another example of their fine craftsmanship.
Of course, the question is - do you need to spend almost two big ones on a Guitar Hero replacement ax? That's something only you can answer. This is a bit of an odd bird in that, unlike other gaming peripherals, it adds no additional functionality to your gameplay. Unlike accessory gamepads for games like World of Warcraft, this Guitar doesn't give you extra buttons, programmable macros or an improved navigational experience. It's just a more expensive, more solid and more realistic version of what came in the box.
You won't necessarily rock any harder, but you may have more fun doing it with the Logitech controller. Just be prepared - this is a very solid piece of work, and quite heavy. Way weightier than a real acoustic guitar and more hefty than some electric ones, too. That makes the experience more genuine, but you're going to feel it after awhile. But then again, who said the life of a Rock God was easy?
The one bad engineering choice here was the use of a wireless protocol that requires you to plug a USB receiver into your Playstation rather than using its built-in Bluetooth. If you leave the small dongle in your PS3, it hangs there like a dead fish and constantly flashes, whether you're using the peripheral or not. It's very distracting when watching movies or playing games in a darkened room. Take the dongle out, though, and you risk losing it, making your expensive guitar worthless (until you get a replacement receiver from Logitech, that is. Assuming you can.).
Although this is a pretty expensive gaming peripheral, it's a five-star experience for the dedicated player willing to pay the price of admission. However, I'm docking it a star for making you use and keep track of that ridiculous receiver.

This guitar is incredible! It is SOLID, and makes every other Guitar Hero guitar feel like cheap plastic junk. I've been playing guitar for 20 years, and every time I strap this guitar on, I feel like I'm playing real guitar. Granted - it's a bit smaller than a normal guitar, and has other obvious differences (buttons instead of strings, you know...) but it's very similar to the real thing.
I have found a new love for my Guitar Hero games because of this guitar. It just makes them all more FUN! The neck is solid, and the action is great - makes it easier to play the "hard" and "expert" levels when you can move your hand faster on the neck. The buttons don't make any noise, which is a big plus. The strummer is silent, the whammy bar is solidly built, and the start/select buttons are integrated into humbucker and bridge.
I also LOVE the touch sensitive neck slider! Works perfectly for World Tour! I have SO much more accuracy with the slider than with the regular buttons! No need to strum - just hit the part of the slider you need to and you're golden - super easy.
I also like that the USB dongle is tiny, unlike the other guitars I have for GH.
I've used this guitar a ton over the last few months, and the batteries show no sign of wearing out.
I can't recommend this guitar enough! Just get it!

Wov! Wov! Wov! This guitar is awesome.
The build quality and packaging is great. The materials used are in fact really solid, polished and excellent worksmanship.There is good quality plastic, wood and metal like materials used.
Apart from cosmetic looks, the actual styling has been paid attention to so that it feels like real guitar and would be great to hold ergonomically as well as would last for years.
There are not moving pieces or weak strings etc. Thought has been paid to design so that the guitar can be even handled by my 13 month old daughter who has a blast enjoying it. The guitar plays wonderful and she claps and dances. Obviously she plays with it with me holding the guitar, as this guitar is bit heavy, which is ok cause
the build quailty is top notch.
Please keep in mind there is no bluetooth, but there is dongle for wifi (wireless acccess). That works for me, although it would have been nice to add that 10 dollar chip in it.
This was my first step into the Guitar gaming world, and is surely a pleasure to start with.
I use PS3. And this guitar has indeed made our evenings more enjoyable in the living room. Fun for my family.
