dreamGEAR PS3 WARBEAST WIRELESS GUITAR

Pros: Full Size!!! The original RB guitars are fun, but small. I'm a big guy, so something that I can actually grab hold of and not feel like playing with a kids toy, is a good thing

Cons: I've had this guitar for a few years. Never had a problem with the strum bar, but the blue fret button near the top of the neck went wonky on me, so I had to learn to play from the bottom of the neck. Not where I like to be, but it is easier than playing from the bottom of the next on a Harmonix guitar.

The second problem came a year later when the receiver blew out. Now it's utterly useless, so I'm going to have to buy another one.

Other Thoughts: I like it, and I am getting another one to replace the dead one.

Pros: Don't get me wrong folks, this is an amazing controller -- WHEN THE STRUM BAR WORKS. Great fret button and whammy response, the strum bar is VERY responsive as well. Switching back and forth between Guitar Hero and Rock Band is as simple as flipping a switch.

Cons: THE STRUM BAR IS CHEAP, POORLY THOUGHT OUT AND DESIGNED TRASH! I've bought two of these controllers because I love the Warbeast design but Dreamgear has really let BC Rich down with the POOR STRUM BAR. My first strum bar died in less than a month. The second order lasted longer, but only because I didn't play it as much. DREAMGEAR -- WAKE UP! BC RICH DID YOU GUYS A FAVOR AND YOUR DISAPPOINTING LACK OF ATTENTION TO CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND DESIGN STINKS!!!

Other Thoughts: Folks, seriously -- I'm OCD about strum bars and light touch. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!

Pros: Great fret response, great strum bar response, great whammy response. Switching between Guitar Hero and Rock Band is flawless.

Cons: Strum bar gave out in just over a month, and I'm VERY light on a strum bar even when playing Guitar Hero or Rock Band. It just gave out and was stuck in the strum down position.

Other Thoughts: This is for dreamGEAR:

First off -- the fact that B.C. Rich actually gave you the CAD files for the Warbeast says TONS. Do yourselves and B.C. Rich a favor -- BEEF UP THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. I can feel this controller twist in my hands.

Second -- GREAT strum bar, but in just over a month of play it bit the freaking dust. The strum bar is responsive like MAD, but it won't stand up to repeated use. GET IT RIGHT FOLKS!!!!!

Pros: This guitar surpassed all my expectations. The frets are very responsive, love that it has both modes for RB/GH. The whammy bar is perfect. My favorite part is the extended neck which is great for me as I have very long arms (I'm 6'6") so it is nice to stretch my wings out a bit!
The consruction materials are not the best, but I have not had any problem as I take care of everything really well, kids know that this is MY guitar. Even bought a case for it for transporting. Strum is fine as well. Gotta love the look of the WarBeast!

Cons: It is somewhat loud, but usually I crank the music really loud anyways so I really can't hear the clicks too much. If quiet frets are a must, you may want to go elsewhere. For me, it is not an issue whatsoever.

Other Thoughts: I recommend this guitar completely.
My best friend has one of these also and we are both ticked pink by the WarBeast!

Pros: Super cool Looking. 1:1 Scale. Removable Face plate. Real guitar strap. 3 Piece break down for easy storage or transport. PS2/PS3 receiver.

Cons: There are a lot of cons to this guitar and it all has to do with its manufacturing, There were so many problems with this guitar from Disconnection to non working frets. The construction of the neck is a bit flimsy and has a lot of twist to it. All frets and the strum bar are very load. Louder than normal. Instead of sending this back, I took it apart and found that almost every circuit board had lose or sloppy soldering. After cleaning up a lot of the solder the guitar worked perfectly but was still to load. I glued felt to the bottom of the frets to quit it down. It is not quieter than my Stratocaster

Other Thoughts: The guitar is great and is my main guitar for RB & GH across PS3 and PS2. If your willing to do some serious work on it then it will be worth the money. If you are expecting it to work out of the box look for something else. Sorry for any miss spellings

Pros: Looks cool

Cons: Frets were hard to push..they didnt activate every time. Not all of them but 2 of the frets furthest away from the guitar. Sent back same day.

Other Thoughts: Wont refund this product for some reason. Decided to repair. Hopefully it will be working when it gets back from newegg.
