Customer Rating: Summary: Love it! Love it! Love it! Comment: Well I got mine today and I love it. I have been playing with it for about 2 hours. The only problem I have with it is where the strap connects on the left side. It is in a horrible spot. The placed you connect the strap on the left side is on top of the guitar instead of on the side like it is on RB guitars which mean the strap comes off allot.
It does take some getting use to after playing with a RB guitar for the last year. It plays more like a GH guitar does which I like better then the RB guitar. It is bigger then the GH 3 I have. It is as big as the RB 2 guitar length wise but just a bit smaller width wise. Overdrive is good and right on. Buttons are good but they are a bit smaller then the RB guitar and the whammy bar is about the same size as the GH guitar. Overall it is a good guitar.
__________ Customer Rating: Summary: Gene Simmons Axe Guitar for PS2/PS3 and Wii Comment: Gene Simmons Axe Guitar
As a KISS fan for many years I'm glad that I can share with my kids the excitement that KISS brought me. The controller is very cool and is good quality. The one thing I'm not sure of is if the five position switch actually does anything or is just for show as it does actually moves. I first learned about this product on [...] which at the the time led me to [...]. This was the only website that I found all of the compatability specs and offical release dates. So I recommend you checkout these websites before buying. Fortunately for me I have both platforms so was able to enjoy Rockband and Guitar Hero for PS2/3 for Christmas. I agree amazon should have had this in their description. Looking back I wonder how many noticed that flaw and was wondering which info was correct. Maybe we should e-mail Gene and have him correct it? I'd hate for him to take the rap for it with bad reviews for the Wii platform. Customer Rating: Summary: Awsome Comment: This Gene Controller Is So Much Better then the reg that comes with the game. it has a better feel also. i highly recommend it to all Customer Rating: Summary: not a bad product Comment: The Gene Simmons bass guitar is pretty cool as far as looks&game play but it is not very well built I've had it for only a couple of months and the whammy bar spring has already broken so I have mixed emotions about the product Customer Rating: Summary: Great looking but needs improvement. Comment: This guitar has a really cool look, hands down the best I have seen. The first thing I noticed is the back of the remote cover sticks on to where you feel like you are going to break it to get it off. The fret keys are spaced a little farther apart than the stock guitar, this took some getting used to. The fret keys are also very noisy compared to some other guitars, not a big deal if you crank the volume up, but when playing on the harder songs it becomes a little annoying. I wanted to point out the negative things but overall it's a fun guitar to play and you can look cool doing it, I just expected a little better quality for the price.
