The pioneers of multi-channel RF wireless guitar connectivity for Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero III, Rock Band and more offer players a whole new level of heart pounding excitement and realism with the new Double Range guitar controller. For the first time in history, players can experience a true full range of play via a second complete set of FeatherTouch fret buttons on its patent pending Xtended Fret Button Array. Now, just like real rock stars, players can thump out gnarly rhythm parts on the low end of the neck and jump to the top end of the fret board to shred blistering solos. Combined with its Smart AutoSense 2.4GHz wireless technology, which lets players thrash about their homes like true rock heroes without pulling their game consoles to the floor, the Double Range guitar controller delivers the most realistic and exhilarating experience to date for the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series of games for Playstation 2 and 3.
Compatible with Guitar Hero I, II, III for PlayStation 2
Guitar Hero III for PlayStation 3
Rock Band for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3

The only pro to this guitar controller is that it is a cheaper substitute to the Standalone guitar for rock band which is excellent. I ended up buying one after I had this controller for about 3 weeks.
On to the cons. This guitar controller feels very cheap. The strum bar is obnoxiously noisy and squeaky sounding and is quite irritating during game play. The fret buttons need to be pushed down hard at times to avoid missing notes. This causes the fingers to get tired half way through a song. Third, the whammy bar on my controller stopped working completely after about 2 weeks.
I would highly recommend that you spend the extra 20 dollars and buy a Standalone guitar instead of buying one of these for the reasons I listed above. You will not regret it.

This guitar made it through the first song without a problem. Unfortunately, that was it. Starting with the second song ever played on it, the strum bar began missing notes. Even hitting the strum bar with slightly more force failed to produce consistent results, and by the third and fourth songs it was missing about two out of every three notes. If that wasn't bad enough, the fret buttons are rather soft and wobbly. More than once I missed a note simply because holding the fret button down wasn't enough; holding them down STRAIGHT was necessary to hit the note. In all, I was quite disappointed with this purchase. I did get my money back, however.
Pros: Classic design, nice sticker sheet, works with Guitar Hero and Rock Band for both PS2 and PS3 (just not that well, in my experience)
Cons: Buttons and a strum bar that don't consistently work, feels smaller and more flimsy than the regular guitar controllers, takes 4 AA batteries (twice what most controllers do), small strum bar |

Works as well as the Kramer guitar controller that comes with Guitar Hero, but feels a bit more sturdy. Range is at least comparable. With PS2, it was simply plug and play. I have used it with World Tour, GH III, and GH Encore Rocks the 80s. Button location is different, but manageable. It has two sets of fret buttons, one being close to the body, which would probably be good for children. It comes with a belt clip you can use instead of the strap. It is Rock Band compatible, but I have not verified that.
Cons: The dongle is rather bulky, since it is wired with a PS2 connector and a USB connector. The guitar does not break down like the Kramer; that may not necessarily be a bad thing because the contacts between the neck and body cause problems with the Kramer.

| I got this guitar for my son for Christmas because he has both Rock Band and Guitar Hero. This guitar is compatible with both games. Now both of my sons can play guitar in each game. Well worth the money. Product seems to be holding up well. |
