This is an update. For my 2 stars. The guitar works 100%. The guitar was dirty. A couple of towels and that's it. It didn't originally come with a detachable cable, so I had a guitar that only sat there for about a week before I just went to my retro shop and there weren't any for a dollar. bought a set of breakaway cables from amazon out of sheer anger. But I could just leave them as a backup, why not. This also works 100% and everything I play is a clone hero.
