PlayStation 3 FrontMan Wireless Guitar - White

I have to confess that when I ordered this guitar for PS3 based only on the price I expected a product of somewhat dubious quality, since I was getting it as an extra guitar to the one included in the game, I thought that would be just fine. I was quite surprised when I received it and opened it, the guitar is actually of great quality, the design is nice, it is smaller than the one included in 'GH:World Tour' and it is very easy to get used to. The guitar response is excellent and the wireless receiver has this pretty cool functionality with a light that lits every time one of the buttons are pressed in the correspondent color, which has become quite handy while playing. The guitar works great with 'Guitar Hero 3' and 'World Tour', I have not really tested it with any 'Rock Band' games yet (that will hopefully change September 9th) I read some reviewers experienced problems synchronizing the guitar with the PS3, well, I ran into the same problems, and the issue seems to be with the instructions in the manual being incorrect, if you go to the 'Troubleshooting' section of the manual, the correct synch process is actually there (misplaced, but there) Like the official guitars, the yellow button has a small lump that helps you locate which buttons are which when not looking, that complemented by the lights in the receiver are of great help for people just learning to play these games. It also has an interchangeable face plate (white and pink), and the accessories needed to change it are included. It uses 3 AA batteries, play time is great as I have had this for a couple months now and have not changed the batteries since. Highly recommended!

PROS: Nice build quality, good customer service, charges off of ps3 (cable is same mini usb and included) or can use 3AAs CONS: Dongle did need to be replaced, but NYKO will do it for free. I purchased two of these just before Christmas because they were so cheap (prices were less than 25 bucks) and my other two guitars (stock GH3 and stock RB1) stopped working. I figured that if anything I could just return them or at worst I wouldn't lose much money trying them out. I knew going into the purchase that there had been a PS3 firmware update that rendered the guitars useless (I think it had something to do with the wireless pairing sequence). I read another review that stated that the guitar wireless dongle could be replaced for free from NYKO and that after the problem was fixed. So, I sent an email to NYKO asking whether they had a fix and what it would take to get it. They replied very quickly (within 2 hours) and said that yes there was a fix and that If I could give them my address they would be happy to ship two of the dongles out to me for free. I was a little relieved after hearing this and then ordered the two guitars. I got both promptly and in good shipping shape (though one was in a massive over sized box). NYKO was very nice on the phone and shipped them to me promptly. I can say that both of the new dongles work with both Rockband and Guitar Hero and I am very impressed with their build quality. I had thought that NYKO made some pretty cheap video game accessories but both of these guitars seem well made and relatively compact. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and will definitely use NYKO again in the future.

This is the best guitar controller for the money, very well built, easy to connect, looks great and functions flawlessly. It came with batteries, strap, a different colored pick guard for customization, not sure why but it came with a USB cable like the ones for a regular controller but it doesn't seem to work wired, maybe there's an explanation in the directions but setup was so simple I didn't read them, it has a port to add accessories like an effects pedal(if they even exist), the receiver looks like a pedal which is pretty cool and it lights up with the corresponding color as you hit the fret buttons. My only complaint is the neck is a little flimsy but better than most in this price range. Works with all Guitar Hero titles on PS3, not sure about rock band because GH is better and I don't own any RB games. this is perfect as a primary or a backup controller.

I bought one of these guitars over a year ago for my wife, and my she loves hers. She's a small person, and liked how light it is and the buttons were lightning quick. Since she's a 95+% player in "Expert" mode, I figured that it was about as good a testimony as one could get, so when we bought Rock Band 2, I decided to get two more guitars - especially since it seemed to be such a deal. That's when the problem started. When the guitars arrived, I plugged in the first one right out of the box and it seemed to have a mind of it's own. There was a repeated green button strike that immediately drove the game into solo mode, with a song queued up for play. There was no overcoming the problem, so I figured the first one was broken and got out the second one. It failed the exact same way. AN UPDATE: It turns out that Rock Band 2 has changed their codes for the guitar controller to match those of Guitar Hero. How nice to include an undocumented feature that drives a consumer batty. My discovery of this feature was quite accidental. So to get this guitar to work with Rock Band 2, the dongle must be set for Guitar Hero. It still needs to be set to Rock Band for the original Rock Band game. For this reason alone, I have docked a point from their rating (even though it more rightly is a good feature not discussed by the game itself), because otherwise this guitar works really well - very fast key responses.

ギターヒーローやロックバンド付属ギターと比べても上位に入るだろう。 特に、ボタンがしっかりしていて良かった。 色は二色(レッドかピンク)あるようだが、この内のブラック×ピンクのカラーがおすすめだ。(選ぶことはできない) もし、ギター(ゲーム用)集めが好きならば１つはキープしておきたいところだ。

The guitar works exceptionally well and you dont even have to take the strap off the wiimote to use it, its designed with space inside for the strap. Strummers a bit clunky but responsive once you add a drop of light oil to each end of it. The bottons arent as well marked as the original guitars but it would ruin the look of it if they had standard buttons, the edge colours are easy enough to see.

Excellent Guitar for the Wii Guitar Hero. It has already been used from easy through to the hard level & was sensitive to all! Wii remote clips in very easily & is secure once in the guitar. Def recommend !!!!!

Not good
