- Good alternative guitar controllerWorks great with Guitar Hero (tested with the Aerosmith demo), and RockBand.
Didn't work at first with RockBand 2, but RB2 was patched to work with GH controllers, so use it in GH mode instead (settable on the dongle).
Love the colored light up buttons on the dongle, and the fact that it comes with a USB cable so you can play wired instead.
My only two complaints are:
1. The neck is about 1.5 times thicker than the RockBand guitar neck.
2. It's not ... Read More

- Solid Replacement for Rock Band GuitarThe Frontman Wireless Guitar doesn't try to be anything more than it is. It knows that it is a economically priced replacement for the more deluxe pack-ins that come with Rock Band or Guitar Hero.

Another cool feature is that the dongle has 5 LEDs that light up when you press a certain fret button.
I do have 1 small problem with this guitar. The neck is very thick, so it might feel a little uncomfortable.
Overall, ... Read More

- Save your money for another guitarGuitar feels very cheap and junky. Rock Band 2 Fender quality is an 8 out of 10, this is a 2. Spend a little more and buy a nicer one.
