 Works Great For Me September 11, 2009

The Beatles Rock Band and the Gretsch Duo-Jet guitar arrived about an hour ago and I've just taken a break to write this.
In my opinion, the guitar controller is really nice. One thing I really like is the silent strumming switch. The automatic audio and video calibration with Rock Band is also really a nice touch. You just hold the guitar in front of your TV and it will calibrate the audio and video synchronization for you.
Somewhere else, I saw where somebody said that the Guitar Hero guitars wouldn't work with Rock Band. Not true. At least the Guitar Hero guitar that I have (the one that came with Nintendo Wii Guitar Hero World Tour - Guitar Kit) works great with Rock Band but it doesn't have the auto calibrate feature. I bought the Gretsch Duo-Jet because I thought my Guitar Hero guitar wouldn't work based on that other review. On the other hand, I now have two guitars so can play with another person.
I'll have to see if the Gretsch will work with Guitar Hero. That one I'm not sure because the Gretsch comes with a wireless dongle that plugs into the Wii USB port to connect up and Rock Band had to do a Wii system update. Maybe that system update will also allow Guitar Hero to see the Gretsch. Fingers are crossed since I really like World Tour too.
But the Guitar Hero guitar has nicer fret buttons in my opinion. They are raised a little whereas the Gretsch fret buttons are just like the rest of the fret board. But again, the Gretsch doesn't have an annoying click every time you press the strum bar.
All in all I like the Gretsch a lot. I haven't been able to decide which I like better, though since each has their respective pros and cons.
One other thing - the Guitar Hero guitar that I have that came in World Tour (software and guitar for 2/3 of what the Gretsch cost by itself) takes a regular Wii controller to operate. You have to open a hatch, connect up a cable where the nun-chuck plugs in, slide it into place, and close the hatch. The Gretsch is completely self-contained. No need to supply a Wii controller to make it work. That may or may not be an issue for some.
Awesome! Work of art! You can't hear the buttons at all! January 1, 2010

This was a splurge since my hubby thought he was literally in a rock band and broke the one that came with the set. Now he treats this one like a baby. It's his pride and joy! It is SO much nicer than the Rickenbacker! The fret is so smooth and accurate. The buttons you can't hear click at all. It is highly responsive and a great buy!

If you have the Beatles rock bank game, I encourage you to purchase this guitar to play with. Any other is simply not worth the price.
Great for the Rockband/Beatles fan! December 30, 2009

I love both the Beatles and Rockband, so I was excited to receive this item for Christmas. It is really cool looking and fun to play.
