Rock Band 3 Fender Mustang Pro Guitar Controller Review - IGN

ign.com

The Fender Mustang PRO Guitar Controller for Xbox 360 offers an ambitious design for Rock Band 3's Pro Mode, effectively bridging the gap between gaming and musicianship. While it's commendably functional, mimicking real guitar play with 102 note buttons and six strings, it suffers from fragility issues particularly with its string box. Its complex control scheme demands a learning curve, and the tactile feedback is not perfect. Despite its innovative features, the high price tag of $149.99 feels unjustified given its plastic build and limited gaming utility compared to other gaming consoles. Potentially valuable for enthusiasts of Pro Mode, but casual players might find it overpriced.

Review: Mad Catz Wireless Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller | WIRED

wired.com

The Fender Mustang PRO-Guitar Controller for Xbox 360 daringly blurs the line between gaming and learning guitar, offering a significantly enriched Rock Band experience by mimicking a real guitar with 102 buttons and actual strings. While the steep learning curve may deter novices, the potential for real guitar skills is a promising draw. However, its plastic build and toy-like appearance undermine its authenticity, and the absence of a whammy bar might disappoint some. Ultimately, it's an intriguing but hefty investment for those willing to embrace the blend of gaming and genuine musicianship.

Rock Band 3 Fender Mustang Pro guitar review

engadget.com

The Fender Mustang PRO Guitar Controller for Xbox 360 is a mixed bag. On one hand, it promises a more authentic Rock Band 3 experience with its 102-button array attempting to simulate real guitar play. However, the uniform button and string width can confuse players used to real instruments, increasing the learning curve. The lightweight build, while convenient, feels flimsy and doesn't match the comfort of a real guitar or even other pro controllers like the Squier Stratocaster. At $150, it offers a unique gaming experience but not without some frustrating quirks.
