I got the Butterscotch colored replica. I had to order it from another vendor because Amazon lists the Butterscotch color as currently unavailable.
If your in the market for a guitar you know how they work so I won’t bore you with stuff that isn’t different than a stock guitar.
1. The Fret buttons are very nice. They move up and down quickly, are quiet, and are a bit larger than the standard RB2 Strat buttons. I would say maybe 3 or 4 millimeters fatter. Don’t get this if your a lefty though as the keys don’t surround both sides of the guitar and you would be unable to effectively play if your left handed.
2. The touch overdrive is really nice. I personally chose this guitar for that feature. It is placed above the strum bar rather then below like the GH Guitars. Also it isn’t a function button, so you don’t have to press it down, just touch. It’s really nice for me because I tend to hose things up when trying to tilt into overdrive. Tilt still works, but the touch bar is far superior.
3. The whammy bar is pretty nice. It is solid metal and is adjustable to the side if you prefer. It is tensioned a bit strong by default but you can adjust it via a nut/bolt underneath to your preference.
4. Xbox buttons are placed well and the start/select buttons are a knob now. Pretty cool I thought. Also the whah whah adjuster is vertical now and more out of the way which is nice.
5. The strum bar is a mixed bag for me. It is a “click” bar like the GH guitars so it can be noisy. Also the one I received requires you to bottom out the down strum for a register which is odd. I am going to play with it a bit, it may just need some breaking in. Otherwise the strum is pretty standard fair and works well.
6. Can’t say enough nice things about the strap. It’s comfortable, easy to adjust, and just overall awesome.
7. Lastly the overall design is nice. The butterscotch color looks really nice and the head has non functional, but movable tuning knobs which is cool. It is a bit thicker than the strat but a hair shorter. I kind of expected it to be longer than the strat but it is not. The Chrome parts look really nice.
Overall I give this 4 stars. It’s a nice guitar with some flaws that will be mostly preference to the user. If you have the bones to put down on it, try it out.

I’ve never been willing to part with the cash to upgrade my stock Guitar Hero 3 guitar but I’m sure glad Amazon was kind enough to give me the chance to. This guitar is larger, a bit more heavy, but that’s a good thing. It’s not quite “real” feeling but that’s okay, I’m not playing real guitar here and I know that. The fret buttons are much easier to use than the stock guitar because they extend all the way to the edge and you can hit them without stretching your finger up the fret. I found the clicker switch to have a longer “throw” which screwed up my timing quite a bit but after a couple songs I was back to rocking as good as I ever did.
If you love Rock Band, then you’ll love this guitar.

I was really looking forward trying out the Telecaster replica. The image looks good but the distressed look isn’t very realistic when you see it in person. I have no problems with the whammy bar or strum bar. My big (huge) gripe is with the buttons.
The buttons don’t occupy the full width of the neck They’re about 2/3ds of the width. What that means for me is that I often miss hitting a button because I’m pushing the button on the side nearest to me.
The shape of the button is also a problem. It’s squared of rather than rounded (like the Rockband 2 wireless guitar) so if you try to slide a finger from one fret button to another it can catch on the edge of a button.
I’ve been playing Rockband since it came out on XBOX 360 and also Rockband 2 and the Beatles edition. I’m decent and I can play most songs on Hard with no problem and some in Expert. I’m sure that I could figure out how to make use of this controller if I had to but I don’t see the point. It really takes away from the fun of the game to have to adapt the way I play.

I have always been biased to Guitar Hero and its round notes and buttons not just for the way they look but for the feeling of the BUTTONS. With that in mind this is the best ROCK BAND branded peripheral I have played, the original and its RB2 counterpoint were wishy washy on the strum which had its appeal but also its big disadvantages. Enter this fairly well realized Telecaster Replica from Mad Catz a company who continues to make up for its infamous reliablitity issues of the past. This unit does them proud, I don’t know if I like the action on the start button but since it is rarely used it can be ignored unless you PAUSE alot. The switch for effects is much more accessible, the whammy bar feels classy if a little flat at first and it likes to drop like a real one. The shortened length of the square note buttons is good (unless you are going lefty) and they pop right back up but they require a good deal of pressure and you will miss notes until you get used to their strength. The strum bar the all important fake rock tool is also pretty choice, you don’t feel like you are going to break it if you rock out, it can take some serious down up motion without jumping and the click is finally there for Rock Band enthusiasts. The body and most of the extras feel cheap but at its core the mechanics are strong and can handle big hands and hard strumming and button presses, the weight is nice a little more realism and heft over the originals and the TOUCH PAD is brilliant making up for the really HIGH star tilt activate these units seem to have.
The Beatles plays nice and tight with this as does the incredibly fun LEGO ROCK BAND which I think is an absolute winner of game. This guitar plays well but might limit your setlist as it requires some finger muscles to work perfectly in HARD and especially expert. A good in between unit if you can’t invest in the new WOOD models, heck it even makes ROCK BAND COUNTRY fun, and worked with every game I tried it with except Guitar Hero II and Guitar Hero III.

I was looking for a bass guitar, but saw this new one by Mad Catz and the sunburst, ‘used’ look was a selling point for me. The controller has a nice weight to it and fret keys a good feel. The strum bar seem’s a bit loose and although a good idea, the ‘overdrive’ bar is way to sensitive for my liking. It initiates overdrive automatically way to often for my likes (especially when I’m trying to co-ordinate length of it between fellow players). The whammy bar is pretty stiff, but I like it actually. That and I’m starting to detect a squeaking noise with it. But it could be that it’s just new and needs to ‘settle in’. Overall I like it, but the sensitive overdrive bar is an issue that at times makes me switch to another guitar.
I <3 the blog very much. Keep working on it.
I totally agree with the previously mentioned remark, the internet is definitely growing into the most essential channel of conversation across the globe and it’s thanks to sites like this that concepts are spreading so quickly.
It is a truly nice thought! Definitely wanna say thank you for the content you have shared. Just keep on creating this style of content. I’ll stay your loyal reader. Thank you.
I think the info given in the topic is first class. I am conducting a study relating to the subject and your post basically covered many problems I had. I’m doing an essay and term paper for my English course and currently reading through many different information sites to review.
