It is not compatible with the Rock Band 2!! Pretty cheaply made as well.I bought 2 of them, and one of the LARGE pedals (usb wireless adapter) broke. I will be returning them. The new GH world tour guitars work with all.

Works Great! December 29, 2008
Michael A. Sosa (San Antonio, TX)
I bought this guitar only a couple of days ago and it has been working great for me. I found that by holding both (dongle and guitar) synch buttons down at the same time made the guitar synch to the system. This is easily a great investment and now we're having more fun than ever!

I may have just received a defective guitar, but I could not get it to sync with my PS3 Rock Band game. We had to send it back after one day. When looking for a replacement at local stores, I noticed that every other guitar for the PS3 Rock Band game is double the price. This could just be a case of a cheapo bargain guitar and you get what you get and you don't get upset.

My son got these guitars from his dad for christmas and they do not work at all. When he hooked it up to the playstation 3, it started to go crazy and start activating buttons on its on. I would not recommend them because I am going to have to replace them as his dad did not keep the receipt and they were on sale buy one get one free. I would say we got what we paid for, but I expect more when Amazon uses other dealers.

Great guitar for the price, and works with guitar hero world tour December 12, 2008
D. Truong (New Mexico)
I bought this guitar to use as an extra guitar with Guitar Hero World Tour for the PS3. It works great with the game and the tilt function works too, but keep in mind that it is a bit smaller (shorter) than the new Guitar Hero World Tour Guitar. There's a switch on the usb transmitter to switch from Guitar Hero mode or Rock Band mode, so it should be compatible with Rock Band as well. As for the build quality... it does seem a bit cheaper made than the guitar that comes with the Guitar Hero world tour guitar kit. But as I said, it does work fine and some may even prefer it if they have shorter arms or just more used to the original size of the previous GH guitars. For the price, I think it's an excellent buy for a wireless guitar. Especially considering that it's compatible with Rock Band and Guitar Hero.
