Whammy Issues with Guitar Hero Guitar

by Matt Gibbs

It seems there could be some issues with the release of Guitar Hero II, or at least the X-plorer guitar itself. Gamers all over the internet are reporting issues with the whammy bars.

Luckily there are two versions of the guitar and the issue only affects one of them. The type you should try and avoid are the ones with the pedal jack next to the power cord, ones with the pedal jack on the bottom of the guitar are fine so far.

As for the problem, apparently the whammy bar just stops working all of a sudden. Bear in mind that the issue is not aeffecting everyone with the problematic type of guitar, but at this story gathers momentum over the internet, more gamers are coming out and posting that they have issues.

How about you?

Killboy by bottom Matt means if the guitar is standing up (strings pointing straight up in the air) thus the bottom is the part with the Xbox Live headset jack, mine is next to the power cord as well and I am having problems with the whammy bar. Still this game freaking rocks but I hope they swap out the messed up guitars, look for my full review on PX360 tomorrow!

Ya same here, whammy bar with whammy issues. Hopefully I can return mine for an exchange. FYI, this was never a problem for either guitars on the PS2 version. So I'm a little disappointed, when they had so much time to find out there was a problem with there testing. I hope they own up to there mistake on this.

Yep i have this problem, power next to the pedal plug in. I would hope for a recall on these...

Mine has the power cord on the bottom with a rj-45 connector right next to it...The guitar itself works fine but the whammy bar takes about three hits back and forth before it works. This isn't fun because you can't gain star power efficiently on the shorter held notes.

Ok maybe I'm just a retard, but on ours the power cord IS on the bottom, and the jack is right beside it. So it qualifies for both the "good" and "bad" version.

Now for the people with bad hardware, will they replace them for free?

Mine's laggy and unresponsive. Think I've got the bad batch, but so will the others in my area :S
