Solid guitar, and yes a Wiimote does fit in there.
Firstly, the guitar works perfectly well. I have had no problems with it. This'll work for Clone Hero if you have some manner of Classic Controller to USB adapter (as usual, the RaphNet is your best choice, as most other generic adapters will not realize the whammy bar even exists). What I wanted to address was reviews saying "a Wiimote doesn't fit," so while I use this with an adapter to play Clone Hero (and thus don't actually use it this way myself), I figured that since I do own a Wii and some Wiimotes, I should show that yes, a Wiimote does in fact fit in this thing. Apparently, some barbarians believe they're supposed to somehow shove it in through the visible window in the front, but that is not how it's supposed to get in there; the front window is deliberately a bit too small so that it can't *fall out* of the front. There is a hatch in the *back* of the guitar that you open up to stick the Wiimote in.

Please Test your products before you ship them....
Sent me a brand new guitar and the blue fret button doesn't work. I ordered a replacement so I'll update my review when that comes in. All the other buttons and everything else worked fine though. Update: replacement came in in just 2 days and everything has worked perfectly. I ordered another guitar as well and that one came in just fine with everything working on it. Thank you for the customer service and I'll update again to see how the guitars hold up in the next few weeks. Thank you! Update 3/21/23 - Guitars are working just fine with no issues still. The buttons actually feel better as they have been broken in since I first played with them. Once I'm done, I usually take the neck off and put the guitar back in the original case it came in so if anyone wants to store theirs, that's how I've been taking care of them. Other than that, I've been using these for Clone Hero and both guitars are still rocking strong!

Great guitar but has some issues.
Any Clone Hero player will know that silicone matters. The button silicone in this is very stiff. Buttons are super stiff due to that and they take either a silicone mod or lots and lots of breaking in to make it feel comfortable. The wire that connects to a Wii controller is a bit flimsy. Be mindful of how you move your guitar around. One snag and it's likely gonna get ripped off with ease. Strum bar feels great. Overall, I'm very satisfied with it.

Fantastic!
This Guitar Hero guitar for the Wii is fantastic! It works seamlessly, and the buttons are responsive. I used it to relive some of my favorite gaming moments, and it didn’t disappoint. The build quality is solid, and it feels just like the original. Highly recommend for anyone looking to rock out on their Wii!

These work great
I got my Wii from out of storage and wanted to learn how to play guitar hero but I dint have any guitars. I got two of these and they work very well. The remote fits inside of the guitar and is connected to a wire in the guitar. the buttons work well and the straps don't dig into my shoulders.

Do not trust the high rating! Rip-off guitar that does not work!
Do NOT trust the high rating for this guitar. I received the guitar today for my Wii, and both the packaging and the guitar itself looked perfectly fine! I was careful to insert the Wii remote without touching the whammy bar. Then, I attempted to play Wii RB 3. The green & red keys worked, but nothing else did. The strummer only kind of worked when I was holding up the joy stick button for some reason, but even then, the strummer would only sometimes work when I strummed down. If I was not holding the joy stick button, the strummer automatically acted as though I was strumming up. When it came to playing an actual song, the yellow + blue + orange keys were registered as being pressed down. Whenever I hit any key, RB showed I was hitting completely different keys on the game. For instance, when playing '25 or 6 to 4' on Hard, I was strumming the red and orange keys simultaneously. However, the game showed I was pressing the green + yellow + blue keys. The strums were also significantly delayed. I took the guitar apart, cleaned the connection points between the body and neck, and tried again. Nothing changed. I worked through every trouble-shooting option, and still, nothing changed. The same problems occurred with all the Wii GH games as well. Not worth your money. I have returned the guitar the same day I received it. This guitar is a rip-off of the official Wii Rockband and official Wii GH guitars. This rip-off comes from China and is not compatible with any Wii RB or GH games. Absolutely not worth your money. You are better off spending this money on an official Nintendo Wii guitar.

Squeak on strum bar after a week - Nope
Works ok. Used for clone hero on PC. Build quality is questionable. Cheaply made, but good enough for the amount of time I'd use this. However, after just a week of using this for an hour a day, the strum bar makes a awful squeak, and is slowly becoming inaccurate, sometimes it will count 2 or 3 times when I only strummed once. Because of these 2 issues, I do not play it any more, and now it sits collecting dust. If I were to try this all again, I would of definitely chose a more solid brand and spent a more money. Not my best purchase. Listen to reviews on this product. Definitely a hit or miss. Mine missed!

Perfect for clone hero (with raphnet adapter)
After having this for a month, I can safely say this is perfect for clone hero. However you NEED the raphnet adapter in order for it to work. Straight out of the box, its just fine if ur playing casually. the frets are a little stiff to my liking so I modded it (there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube). I dont know if it's the case for all of them, but my guitar wasn't blessed with the 1-finger rake sensitivity. It only overstrums on an upstrum. There is a stupid easy fix for it tho and you dont even need to take it apart. all u need to do is slide a piece of paper into the body, down the strumbar hole. tape it down to the faceplate. that's it. I've attached an image of it. Tl;dr great for clone hero. needs raphnet. stiff frets (can be fixed). overstrums on upstrum (yours might vary; can be fixed easily)
