A definite upgrade November 10, 2008
Weck (Houston, TX)

I've owned all 3 versions of the RB guitar, first the wired, then the RB1 wireless, and now this one. I have to say that each one has been a significant upgrade.

I'll just briefly note the pluses from the RB2 wireless over the RB1 wireless in case you're on the fence about upgrading:

1) Silent frets - No longer do I hear my fingers releasing off the frets over the music, like I frequently did in RB1. Sometimes the loud frets would throw me off my rhythm if I was concentrating on upcoming notes, but I don't have to worry about that anymore.

2) Sturdier strummer - The strum bar is the same style as the RB1 model, except I don't feel like I'm going to break the darn thing off every time I strum it. While I never broke the old model, it just felt flimsier. It's still infinitely better than the noisy clicker strum bar that every GH guitar has.

3) More responsive Overdrive - Sometimes it seemed like my RB1 wireless wouldn't immediately respond when I lifted the neck to go into overdrive, which in turn often distracted me from hitting my notes and caused me to slip up. Whenever I tilt the RB2 wireless, however, it immediately goes into overdrive and allows me to focus on the song with nary a distraction.

4) Non-screw battery compartment lid - Thankfully they re-designed the battery lid to where you remove it and replace it by just squeezing the plastic hinge and popping it out/in. My RB1 wireless had a little screw in there that I had to bust out the Phillips screwdriver for every time if I needed to change out the batteries. So basically they trimmed a 10-minute process down to 2 minutes, which is nice if you're eager to get back to rockin'.

5) Overall better look - From the wood grain design on the neck to the sunburst design on the face, it's just a cooler-looking fake guitar to play when you're jamming out.

To summarize, the casual player can stick with his/her RB1 wireless but if you're an avid player and you've got $70 burning a hole in your pocket, you'll find this new model to be a welcome relief to previous small annoyances.

The new wireless guitar for Rock Band 2 actually WORKS!! There were so many issues with the wireless they created for RB 1 I was sceptical to purchase this one but I did and it works great, no issues what so ever.

Great Fake Guitar. September 24, 2008

I like it. It looks great and pushing the buttons doesn't create has much noise. The strum bar is the weak point of the guitar but still not that bad. Wireless is a big plus.

New Guitar January 21, 2009
William J. Andrus
I have the original Rock Band guitars, both wired and wireless. This is a nice improvement over both. It is easier to get to the batteries, and is a little more durable. The new guitar has a (plastic) wooden look to it, which can feel a little sticky at first -- probably because of the paint or something. The "start" button is also now a little more protective, allowing for less accidental hits when trying to go into over-drive with the "back" button.

Rock Band 2 Guitar ROCKS! March 25, 2009
Kevin B. Cozort (Poplar Branch, NC)
I am very impressed with the quality of the new Rock Band 2 guitars. I'm excited to see what they do with future relases. The battery life is extra EXTRA Long. I have had my guitar for 2 months or more and play almost every day and I am still on the original batteries! The buttons are quick and sliding between the orange and blue is a dream. The newer strum mechanism is much easier to hit the fast notes than ever before (and I have tried ALL the different Rock Band and guitar hero guitars.).

I highly recommend this to anyone who likes these music games!
