Hey, I was just wondering. How sturdy are the Rock Band peripherals? I am asking this because IMO, the guitar feels kinda fragile... maybe it's only me? Have any of you had any problems?

By the way. Does overdrive act funky on the guitar for you guys too? It seems like sometimes it takes forever for it to activate and other times it does it automatically.

First of all the guitar is really fragile, i mean its okay for like medium level songs but harder and above i go back to the trustyu Les Paul. Its just the best choice guitar besides the xplorer.

The drums are pretty sturdy but the everyone seems to have trouble with the yellow pad whenever it eventually does start to freak out. Its an awesome game i just wish they would have worked out the kinks better from the instruments.

Rock bands equipment is pretty poorly made, the drums especially.

yea it is pretty poorly made. both my guitar and my drum foot pedal broke. Both with light use too. but EA has great customer service so i got them replaced for free. didn't even have to pay shipping.

also i just wanna let you know that they drum foot pedal they send back to you is RE-DSIGNED and is much better than the one that came with my special edition set.
