Oh good lord no! No! This can't be! Noooo!

"The Guitar Hero World Tour strum bar will be designed closer to the rock band fenders strum bar"-GameInformer

I can't believe that the new guitar will have the fenders strum bar! The reason I chose Guitar Hero over Rock Band was the quality of the guitar. So does this mean that the new gh guitar will have that cursed squishy strumbar? I can't live with that kind of strum bar! I might just stick with my x plorer guitar.

This truly, may be some of the most depressing news I've ever heard. (If what you say is true).

Why model your guitar off trash? (Any argument against this statement will fail as one of the advertised "perks" of RB2 was "improved hardware"...but as we all still know, they just put a cherry on top of a turd).

I dunno why, but I kinda like the Rock Band guitar. I love having the chords lower on the neck too. If it bothers you that much, I dunno...go play a real guitar? :)

I like the xplorer too though.

For me, some sound has to be produced. It's difficult to get in a groove or rhythm without one and it's made especially difficult to grasp a song you don't know without a sound of some sort coming from the supposed instrument you're playing. (i.e. when I hit a string on a real guitar, tada! sound, drums, sound, etc)

The best plastic guitarists (I'm not one of them) choose the Xplorer or the Les Paul, not the Strat for a reason.

Mau-Justice

ps. The Strum bar on the Strat is AMAZING... In my eyes.

disappointing news... i so prefer the gh guitar! love hearing the solid click of the strum bar compared to the half arsed rock band rubbish!Al_CaPope

well said. i thought the ghIII guitar was awesome which is why i will only be investing in a drumset for this years music games. the les paul is a great controller................................even though it does look like a fisher price toy.
