do not buy right now. the guitar would be perfect cept the stupid ps3 updates make it useless.im just gonna have to wait longer.even the newest software 3.40 does not work.
The guitar plays good.after waiting another 1 1/2 weeks to get the proper adapter from Nyko(the latest PS3 update was not compatable).they sent it for free but their customer service sucks.they were not willing to expedite the shipping (even if I paid for it).i would say buy a different guitar or buy guitar hero because their guitar will play on the PS3
If you want a cheap alternative then get this. The neck on the guitar is fatter then on the regular ones that come with the game and it cramps my hand up and I can't reach the buttons as comfortably and easily as I could with the normal guitars for the game.
The buttons don't push very well. This guitar was very cheap but it doesn't work very well and sometimes it doesn't work at all. I would recommend saving up for a more expensive one that actually works. Most the time I can't get it to work with the PS3. It's made of cheap plastic that broke when it was leaning against a chair and fell. Not a hard impact.
When a new update is released I can only hope that it makes my two Frontman guitars work. I've grown used to it and have big enough hands where it doesn't bother me but if you have small hands the neck size of this guitar may be an issue for extended play. this guitar really isn't, it's rock solid.Finally, as of the last PS3 update, this guitar is useless. Still, this is a minor downfall to the guitar, been using it for a year and haven't had anyone complain about it.Unfortunately the PS3 is Blue tooth, so any guitar you buy should require a usb dongle, not just these 3rd party guitars, (my guitar hero 3 guitar still required a connection through usb).I mean, again, this thing is reliable, full functioning, and very easy to get used to.
Before the latest PS3 Update, this guitar was fantastic, I even got it from amazon over a year ago and it was only 15 bucks a guitar, so I was extremely happy. Until then. Sony updated their firmware and made the frontman guitars not work, they say there is a goofy temporary fix you can attempt by plugging/unplugging the usb dongle, but I haven't bothered to try that. The guitars are solid, the strum bar won't break like the Guitar Hero 4 guitar's.
dont let the picture fool you, although it looks extremely cheap. Don't buy this guitar yet, since we don't ever know if it will work again.-Jack The only design flaw with the guitar is the neck. The neck is more rectangular-ish with curved edges than the guitar hero guitars which tend to incorporate a more crescent moon back side to the necks making it easy for people with small hands to hold.
