Guitar - makes weird noise

[BashBonham]

Hi there,

Just picked up the game (Special Edition for 360) in Canada... (Futureshop)

Don't know why, but if I pick up the guitar or even move it slightly, it makes this weird noise, kind of as if something were inside it moving as the guitar moved.

Is this normal? (but other than that, the guitar seems to work fine.... the strum button's kinda not as sturdy/firm as the GH guitar...meh.)

Over the last few days, many users have reported an issue they experience when playing Rock Band with the game's Fender Stratocaster replica guitar. The issue in question is when there's a fast notes sequence, situation in which players are reporting they miss the 4th or 5th note due to the mushiness of the strummer.

Ben Sones has published a do-it-yourself fix after he experienced this problem. Here are some highlights:

Unlike the GHIII guitar, you can open the back of the Strat without voiding your warranty (the Les Paul has a sticker over one of the screwholes that voids the warranty if you break it). So before RMAing it, why not have a look?

I'm glad that I did, because I was able to determine what the problem was, and I fixed it. My Strat downstrum now works 100%. I just went and played Maps on hard (my default calibration song), and scored 99%. Oh, and one other thing: if you hear a little rattling sound inside the Strat, that's normal. It's not a broken piece of innards kicking around in there, it's just the normal sound that the tilt sensor makes. I had the same thing, and thought something must have broken in there, but nothing was.



^ nevermind; that just answered my question.
