Well I have a Black Gibson Les Paul which is Completely Awesome but then I have nothing to compare it to.
As for the games I have found Rock Band a lot easier & has more tunes but most of the tunes are pants, I will buy Rock Band 2 & transfer the tunes over though as there are some classics like She sells Sanctuary that I just couldn't be without. I get on well with GH3 LOR & am on my 2nd play through at a higher level, WT seems to have better tunes but more than this is the available download content for both/all titles & the chance to build up an Excellent catalogue of tunes.
I am going to get another copy of GH3 WT though so that I have a spare & new guitar & one with the Slidey button bit on it

I'll let you know what I think once purchased compared to my Les paul.

Honestly do not bother with the slidey Les Paul, it's the worst guitar of any yet released. I didn't like the Fender released with RB1 but the sliding Les Paul is far worse.

The slider is worse than useless, it's very iffy and unreliable. When you can just hold the fret button for a more accurate solid response it's made the slider useless.

Then you have the strum, I play on Logitech 5500's in surround mode at a minimum of 11 bars on the control panel and the strum squeek was irritating over the noise of the music.

The dream option for me is the strum bar on the RB1 fender on a Les paul

I think one area where Rock Band obviously beats the GH series is in the DLC. The fact that all Rock Band DLC works on both games is a huge deal, where everything previously released for GH2/3 won't work with GH:WT. The standard track list on each game just comes down to personal preference I think.

@ Danny.
I think it is the White Explorer one mate, Am I still wasting my time ?
I must admit to already being in Love with my BlackPaul (see what I did there

)
I have no probs at all playinig the slidey bits with the normal buttons so if it is a given that it's Pish then i won't bother.

Answers on a post card please

@PaveyDitch
I agree with you & content mate & the GH3 tracks but I Have to say that people shouldn't go by the titles/Track lists as one of the best things about these games is how it gets you into different kinds of music. Some tracks you may dislike on the radio are Absolutely Fabulous to play along to

Davey_Pitch · 22-01-2009, 14:53

I'd agree there JSB, I've found some excellent music on all the games that I now like that I probably wouldn't have listened to before.

BUM

Well if you get stuck I would happily get one & send it up to you if there is no easier way for you to get it

_dogma_ · 22-01-2009, 16:23

Aw, thanks

How much would postage like that cost d'ya reckon?

Justsomebloke · 22-01-2009, 16:31

God knows as I am confused by the new post charges & haven't got used to them yet.
I'd guess at around a fiver but others may have a better idea. The guitars are not that heavy & although boxed the cardboard is quite thin, weak & light.
