I was expected that after the 2 weeks plus waiting period on my 2 day shipping exchange; that they would be taking that time to fix this problem with the strum on the guitars, but sure enough After 2 hours of play the strum was all messed up again. this time you have to strum up and down otherwise it won't work. or just strum up. I've tried the compressed air method as well and no luck.

Another exchange for me. My question is.. has anyone else had this happen too, and Did they actually fix this problem yet or just ship me out another faulty flawed guitar again?



If my main focus wasn't the drums I would be more furious in this, but come on! I love the game ( WHEN IT WORKS), but i'm starting to get grumpy now. and I didn't get no free game offer either. Not a happy camper :mad:

I sent mine in, got it in about a week, opened it and it felt exactly the same on the strum front, though I never had any problems with the strum, before the fret buttons broke.

My red actually stays pressed in game, while the button is fully extended. And my Green and Yellow buttons dont seem to be registering much at all when it comes to fast sections, like lets say, Blackened.

Oh well, once my first guitar hits EA and my money is unfrozen I'll be doing it again I guess.

A friend of mine got his back, and it was all nice and spring loaded and obviously different and this one, was just mush again.

Oh well, still love the game, just wish I could get a proper damned guitar, I love this thing.

I'm on my third guitar and i'm wondering when it will be safe to order the 4th one since the overdrive sensor still doesnt work and the up strum isnt responsive at all.

Hmmm, I thought maybe I was just not doing it quite right, since Ive only used this version of guitar maybe 6 hours, but my Overdrive wasnt quite working either...

Lord in heaven. I hope I get a working one this time around.

instersting.... I got back the same non spring loaded guitar your talking about. I called mine in or this 2nd replacement and she was saying it would take 3-5 days for me to get it. What happened to the 2day shipping like before?:confused:

Pretty please with sugar on top... give me a new working guitar please. Some bands are getting their rock on and experience in while I'm playing with a guitar that only strums up or if I do it up and down style. in other words.... it suxs

By any chance could you get the part number from the spring loaded guitar? Trying to compile a list of different part numbers and different strummers (standard, magnetic, spring loaded)
