 Awesome guitar July 20, 2008

It works well. Just like the one that comes in the box. Wish there were stickers though!
Great second controller July 14, 2008

I bought this so we could play co-op mode on guitar hero 3. Usually when we buy cheaper versions of video game controllers no one wants to use the cheaper one, but no one seems to see or feel a difference between the controller that came with the game and this spare one. That includes kids and adults. The only complaint is we weren't sure what color we were getting, we ended up getting a yellow one. We dressed it up with some cool stickers and it actually looks pretty sweet.
 It's OK, but not as good as the Activision Les Paul July 12, 2008

As a huge fan of Guitar Hero 3, I bought the Nyko Frontman with eager anticipation that this guitar would be an equivalent, second controller for the GH3 game. Unfortunately, after using the Frontman controller, I greatly prefer the original Activision Les Paul controller that came with GH3.
First the good things: the Frontman controller does seem to be well constructed. The buttons all seem to be of high quality, and the design looks pretty cool. The whammy bar is also much more solid than on the GH3 Les Paul controller.
The main problem with this controller, however, is that the fret buttons are quite stiff. There is definite resistance in pushing these buttons down, and this resistance makes it fairly tough to play difficult solos in Expert mode. The fret buttons are also rounded and recessed, which again make them difficult to press quickly (the roundness also makes them difficult to hold for long periods of time). I became quite frustrated using the Nyko controller with tough GH3 songs.
One last downside - the Nyko controller, just like the GH3 Les Paul, is not compatible with Wii Rock Band. It's amazing how many accessory guitar controllers we have to buy just to have guitar and bass on both GH and Rock Band. Sigh...
In conclusion - the price difference between the Nyko controller and the Activision Les Paul ($10 currently) is not enough, in my opinion, to justify the stiff controls of the Nyko controller.
Great purchase for anyone playing Guitar hero July 8, 2008

The guitar works like a charm and haven't had any problems with it. Would recommend it to anyone looking to buy guitar hero.
A great guitar at a great price July 3, 2008

I was a bit hesitant going with a non "Guitar Hero" branded guitar, especially with some of the less than favorable reviews, but I am glad I took the chance. The Price for the Frontman is much more reasonable and so far the guitar has worked perfectly. I have not noticed any difference between it and the branded guitar. I am not quite sure yet, but I might even say I like it better. So if you are tired of playing Guitar Hero alone, I strongly recommend getting the frontman and saving a little cash for another game.
