Price still seems a bit high
This is a good price. I have two of these. I have a bunch of original RB and GH instruments (guitars, keytar, drums) and some guitars have issues. but to get kits to fix them is like $80 each. (yes there is a whole modding community out there. you can even 3D print your own guitars) Anyway, I saw these and bought two for around $125 each several months back after watching some reviews. I have since put Clone Hero (free software that mimics RB or Guitar Hero) on my server and have added over 1000 custom songs.

The cool thing about this Riffmaster is that the neck folds down for traveling.
I've got two, huge guitar hero / rock band guy. It's not my absolute favorite guitar, but it's great for a casual fan. Better than taking a chance on a 10-15 year old used guitar from eBay.

Was waiting for a sale. Picked one up so I can finally play RB4

I'm just hoping to play RB3 someday after my RB guitar died, my GH Les Paul dongle vanished, and a PS3 firmware update rendered my frontman guitar controller useless. At least I have the pro keyboard tracks working, but still.

Enough with the guitars, give us a new drum set!
Just use a cheap MIDI E-kit. A lot of people start with an Alesis Nitro Mesh set.

I think there are MIDI kits that work as substitutes and will always be available in some shape or form. $$$ but remember there are freshly-minted former aspiring musicians produced daily and plenty of Craigslist, FB Marketplace, flea market, etc. secondary market options to find their gently used equipment in.

Same with the microphones.

The keytar was short lived and IIRC those tracks were not ported to RB4 anyway, so unless you're playing RB3 on the PS3 that's irrelevant.

The guitar has to be a device made for this purpose and this alone.

I have both the PlayStation and Xbox models that I got for Clone Hero on PC. They each have some quirks with PC compatibility.

The PlayStation model is pretty much "plug and play," but the tilt and whammy bar do not work on Clone Hero.

The Xbox model does have functioning tilt and whammy, but it's less "plug and play" than the PS model, because you need a third party remapping software. I use RB4 Instrument Remapper and it was a pretty easy set-up, but just be warned that you'll have to launch that program every time you want to play.

For this price, you could get a cheap electric guitar and Rocksmith so you could really learn to play Guitar. Does not seem like a good price at all to me.

Roll Limitless mini for $50. Plugs into the PS5 on one end and the other into the USB midi port on the drums. I just put a whole Rockband set together in Dec to play with my kids and we are having a blast. 2x PDP guitars and a FB Marketplace Alesis Nitro Mesh kit ($200). Wish the guitars were on sale when i got them!

They're two entirely different experiences.

Nobody has any delusions of grandeur that they're learning guitar while playing RB or GH.

At the same time, you're not going to bust out a couple real guitars while partying with friends and expect it to end well.

You may not, but I do. My friends and I play Rocksmith all the time, we are not musicians, but we really enjoy it. I don't understand the draw to guitar hero when you can play a regular video game or learn to play guitar

on top of all that, I don't see why you would shell out so much money for a controller that is usable on just a handful of games, and they can be played without the controller.

I didn't know someone made this. I already have an edrum kit so this is an instant buy. Thank you!

Do you just play songs on your computer? Or tv?
