About 3 weeks ago I Shipped my Guitar back to EA because it had a faulty Strum Bar, so, they send me a new Guitar back and after 3 days of play with the new Guitar, the Yellow Button sticks! WTF EA! Anyone Else with Crap Equipment?

Just this past week I received my replacement guitar. My original guitars down strum was broke, only the up strum worked. I have only played maybe an hour with the new guitar, so far no problems.

I took a peek inside the new guitar and the strum mechanism is completely different from my launch date guitar, almost as if they had two different mechanisms planned from the start.

Upon release, many players reported hardware issues with Rock Band peripherals. Many complaints stemmed from the bass drum pedal snapping in half and the Stratocaster controller's strum bar being unresponsive.In response to these issues, Harmonix admitted the guitars bundled with initial shipment of the game bundles were subject to manufacturing issues and has stated that they will replace all faulty peripherals.Players affected by faulty peripherals can take advantage of the 60 day warranty on the peripherals and obtain replacements from EA. EA has also responded to delayed shipments of replacement peripherals by offering affected customers a free copy of an EA game

same here. my new guitar still strums weird. .. i just stick to the gh2 guitar when i play ... its not like the replacement guitars are well built. they were probably made the same time as the guitars packed in the bundles. i'd expect the wireless one to be built better.
