I keep reading people talk about their drum pedals breaking, or their drum set breaks, or their whammy bar falls off, or the guitar buttons don't register. Also the drum pads wont register if broken.
If your an adult is this a problem for you, your instruments breaking? I know with kids it can be different because they love to pound on things and then it breaks
LOL. I read one can buy foot pedals for drums, that last a life time when then old one breaks. With the guitars however them things are expensive and I don't want to spend 60 bucks a every month to buy another one. I read some people's guitars last a month, well on ebay the cheapest I found for guitar was like 59 dollars. I still want this game. I just need to know how do you fix these things when they break.

You can request an RMA from EA's Rock Band warranty site.
Here it is (http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/rockband.php)

Also, there are other options if you are wanting to IMPROVE the guitar, in addition to fixing it. I'm no expert on those though, so I'll leave that to people with more experience

Wow cool, thanks. I booked marked the site. I was kind of worried but not anymore. :)

Glad I could help. They say the warranty is 90 days, but they don't check it. I think they're honoring them much longer because of the high failure rate. I RMA'd one guitar already, and am about to RMA a second. It took about 2 weeks to get the first one back.

I wanted to play drums but I just found out my boyfriend says because of our wacky land lord I can only play when he is not home, or I have to go into basement which I don't mind, except I have no TV down in the basement. I need a TV to play. This means I wont be on drums very much but I can play sometimes. I thought ok when I can't play drums, then I'll play my guitar. LOL
I guess I'll be playing both now. Ya I have a few Tv's but I can't get into the basement myself, them things are heavy. I don't want to unplug my HTDV and then all my Game systems, then drag down stairs into the basement. :D
Well my boyfriend is going to work soon, so I guess I can play when he is not home and I really don't think our land lord is going to hear from upstairs, although he might be able to. I think my boyfriend is weird sometimes. I don't think the drums are that loud but maybe they are. I know I got off topic. LOL
