Doesn't work

After waiting several weeks for the unit to ship, we opened the box, hooked it up... and got nothing. The unit is defective. My son is sorely disappointed. The guitar looks a bit cheaper than the original. Buttons are smaller, but it is hard to test something that won't work (even after we made sure we had all Wii updates). We will be sending it back... will try for a replacement once and perhaps review again.

A Good Buy

The Frontman for the Wii is an excellent choice if you want a cheaper, good second guitar for your Guitar Hero. It comes already put together. I could not see that the neck detaches (I was too busy playing instead of looking at the neck). Apparently, there are two different color choices. I received the yellow guitar with white and black pick guards. The other option is a white guitar with black and purple pick guards. There is currently no option for color choice on Amazon - what you get is what you get.
The guitar is comparable to the original, the Frontman is slightly bigger and slightly heavier. The buttons and strum bar are tight and I feel like it is better quality than the original. The strap feels like it is a bit shorter, but not a big problem. In all, I think I like it better than the original! I would suggest getting it as the second guitar for the co-op mode.
