Do not buy a used item for Legacy Systems

This item was proprietary, expensive and did not work. It was missing components like the battery cover and strap. When I sent the item back I had to pay the shipping cost which was half of what I paid for the item.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • -

Great price, well described!

The product itself worked without functional impairment. There were clear signs of wear but overall condition is excellent as the seller has already described the product as such. Used item, accurate description. The seller also included a key! Best deal, great seller. I will buy from this seller again!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Discontinued model

Almost perfect for music controllers

When this guitar first came out I was a little pissed that there was a button. It just doesn't make sense if the PS3 has Bluetooth. In any case. It didn't work almost immediately and consistently either held down keys that weren't pressed or they weren't played at all. I googled and followed the guide. Basically turned everything off, turned off the PS3, turned it back on, turned on the guitar, plugged in the dongle and it worked! Now everything works great every time. I think it was just a…

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • Not bad

Bad batteries on guitars

When I opened it to put in the new batteries, I found a white powdery substance from the old batteries still inside. I learned that this powder is potassium carbonate and if not cleaned in time it can penetrate deeper into electronics and damage circuit boards. I cleaned it up and hoped for the best, but the guitar, to put it simply, doesn't spin. I already have the correct key and have tried all the tricks I found. But I think it's safe to assume those old batteries were there long enough that

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • The list goes on.

It's good when they work.

Overall, the classic rock band guitar for PS2/PS3 is a good device. It handles well, plays well and is a lot of fun. But what could really be useful is a little more durability. Of the two we had previously, one died completely and gave up on casual play after about a year and a half, and the buttons on the other are starting to get stiff. And our third goes straight back to Revain as a brand. brand new out of the box had problems. As some others have reported, the guitar only played in one…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Reliable

Well built, cool looking, real guitar

After using my Frontman guitars it took me a while to get used to the guitar. Well made and much more realistic than Guitar Hero guitars. As with any PS3 guitar or anything third-party, you must use the USB port to use the guitar as it requires a dongle to connect (since PS3s support bluetooth while guitars don't). I can't say that I always use the bottom keys for soloing, because honestly it's not worth keeping your fingers very tight together and if you have big hands it's actually rather…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
