Current state of replacement guitars?

[blueruckus]

I just downloaded the punk pack today and I was having a hell of a time playing the quick repetitive chords on my Stratocaster so I switched to my old skool Xplorer and all is well there. The main problem seems to be the strum bar on the Strat as I'm having to press down harder on it for it to trigger.

I'm curious as to what the current state of the replacement guitars is like. Are people generally happy with them or should I wait a bit more into my 60 day warranty to maybe score a 'better' newer generation guitar?

I love the layout of the Strat and would prefer to use it as it looks less dinky than the Xplorer, but unfortunately my Xplorer is the goto guitar for performance?

Thoughts? Thanks.

at this point, i believe the down strum has been fixed (at least with mine) although the issue now lies with the fret buttons. for some reason they seem to have a loud click sound and also stick a bit in comparison to my old guitar. wish i could have both and swap parts between them.

Also it seems other's like myself have a very unresponsive up strum. I dont mind the frets, but my up strum is unusable and my overdrive sensor just doesn't work, i have to press the select button. My third guitar is better than my previous two, but it's still not perfect. At this point i just want them to make the SG compatible. I really dont know when they'll finally get the Strat working 100%.
