 Similar story, but a working guitar really is just wonderful January 4, 2009
If you are considering buying this guitar, I hope you are reading several reviews first. The guitar does feel a lot better than the Rock Band guitar (at least to me and all my friends, who started playing Guitar Hero before Rock Band ever came out) and I find the body shape of the Les Paul to be superior to the X-plorer wired controller previously available for the 360. As far as I can tell, the Rock band controllers are heavier and modeled more after actual guitars rather than controllers shaped like guitars, so the Les Paul doesn't provide the same realism that the RB controllers do...even so, the Les Paul is still a far superior guitar.
As others have said, there is one serious flaw with the guitar: the detachable neck can make the guitar stop registering notes. I bought my first guitar in the Guitar Hero III bundle from a third party seller on a popular auction site, and noticed right away that the red and yellow buttons were having an issue. I found several websites with potential solutions, and since I don't trust myself to unscrew the guitar parts and modify everything, I tried the simple "clean off the contacts" solution, which only made it slightly better. I was lucky that the seller had a very reasonable return policy, and though I had to pay to ship it back, they sent me another guitar that has worked just fine for the last 3 or so months. Though I am extremely happy with the guitar I have now, please consider yourself warned that buying the Les Paul is like playing Russian Roulette, and the odds aren't even that good. Make sure you know the details of the return or refund policy before you buy. But if you manage to get one that works, you'll be in great shape!
 Nice feel, but unreliable.. December 21, 2008
While this feels much better than the guitar hero II model, the collapsible neck is its flaw...not a plus. Since it can detach, over time, it gets some slack and makes bad contact with the circuits in the body, causing certain buttons to "not work". With me it's the green button, with my buddy's it's the blue button. I like the Rock Band model, since it's a lil larger and quieter. I wouldn't recommend this guitar, since the market is being flooded by so many others. And for 360, the Rock Band guitar does work for Guitar Hero, and vice versa.

This is a great product but DO NOT buy this product if it is under $60 dollars, I bought mine at $30 thinking it was a good deal, but they send it in a crappy box, and the product was defective.
Les Paul Guitar looks good, doesn't last December 11, 2008

We have had two broken guitars within 1 year. On both occasions, the green buttons stopped working. 1st guitar had problems within a month.. second one lasted about 6 months. Thankfully - we bought at Costco, so the returns were painless. While we love Guitar Hero III, the guitar is problematic to say the least.

I bought this guitar as a back up to my GH world tour guitar I love this guitar I play it more than the other one. Having this extra one we can jam as a band with bass, guitar and drums.
Rock on.
