Need a PS3 Guitar.

Hey all. I've finally been able to get a new drumset for myself so I can get back to GH/RB drumming. But the sad thing is, I need a guitar.

I've been looking at buying the Les Paul model, but I keep hearing about all these issues(My 360 les paul stopped reading blue/yellow notes after about a year and a half). I wish they had the Xplorer for PS3, but I don't believe the USB connection is compatible.

How problematic is the PS3 LP? And are the problems fixable if they do turn up?

i suggest to get the latest GH5 guitar. it uses all the guts & the body of the WTar except they used the LP switches on this. they also "rubberized" the strum bar for better grip. it should last forever.

EDIT1: Ninja'd

EDIT2: i do not agree with sexen as my PS3's LP been flawless since i acquire it on january 2008. no dropped note, no lag, no faulty strum bar. guess im lucky enough cuz i rape it everyday i can and still works like a new one.

Hey all. I'm pretty glad I got the GH5 guitar. I spent some time with it, and one of the things I love most, is how SP activates on MY command. Not just out of a random impulse. And the rubberized strumbar is a godsend. Especially for long GH/RB sessions.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm glad I didn't go out and get that Les Paul.

On the note of a GH5 guitar, is there any place that sells JUST the guitar without the game?

well my preference is the TAC Double Range ($40 at most walmarts). it's my personal preference and i do have both the red SG and lespaul. some advantages:

-it's a Flying V. which looks awesome.
-it's wireless
-it works on both PS2 and PS3 (different plugs on the wireless adapter). so no additional adapters are needed for system
-if the compatibility issue (idk if it was ever totally resolved) is still there, it works on both RB and GH
-it has 2 sets of frets
-the strap pegs are in the same place for both left and right handed players

disadvantages
-whammy bar was a bit loose for me (prefer a bit more springy one for SP). but a rubber band solved it no problem. and it has no adverse effect on the spring inside.
-it runs on 4 batteries, but it does last a while (haven't changed mine since march)

i haven't had a problem yet with it and i've had it since like october last year. i use it around 4-5 times a week so it is durable.

Does anyone has any additional opinion about PS3 guitars?

I basically just play Rock Band 2, but don't like the Strat so I want to buy a new guitar for my PS3 and I'm divided between the GH3 Bundle and the GH5 Guitar Bundle.

The GH5 costs like 2x the GH3 here in Brazil, but I'm more inclined to it since I don't care too much for the GH3 game and I'm interested in playing GH5.

Besides I heard a lot of bad things about the PS3 LP, so I think the GH5 Guitar is a better option. But on the other side there are those who never had a problem with a LP, so I just don't know what to buy. Is the LP that comes with Aerosmith any better than the GH3 LP?

Unfortunately the PS2 SG with the TAC adapter isn't an option since I couldn't find it anywhere here. (I really miss playing in my PS2 with my Red SG... sigh)

What do you guys think? Any advices?

Thanks

You should really get the GH5 guitar. The PS3 LP has way too many problems, even though it's a great guitar. But the GH5 is just as good (IMO) and at least it works most of the time ;P
