I bought my Rock Band games separately so I never knew what I was missing until I got my hands on this little gem. The fret knobs across the width of the neck make this guitar much smoother and more comfortable to play than any of the GH guitars. With the release of RB3 they might get harder and harder to find, but they're definitely worth it if you can find them (assuming you can't find any of the newer guitars). Stratocaster RB3 for example).
