Some Xbox 360 owners have noticed that while wailing on their whammy bars to snag more Star Power, that the performance of the controller has been less than rockin'.
Kotaku reader Ken got an official response from a customer service rep who provides details on the problem.
We have isolated this issue to two model numbers that can be found on the guitar's packaging. The numbers are 95065 and 95055. We are asking that customers who puchased their items from a retailer perform an exchange with that respective store (for a model number other than the defective two listed above). Customer's who purchased through our online story can complete an rma request for their defective item and we will exchange it for a fully function guitar controller. We do apologize for the inconvenience and will [resolve] these matters.
So, write it down, buyer beware, all that. Just don't stop rockin'! | | |

| So what is the other model # to look for it the two listed are junk? Wouldn't do much good to return it if you were only to get the other model or possibly the same model you returned that was also crap. Since they are aware and seem to be fixing things I may have to order the 2 guitar bundle online sometime soon.

| I have the 95055 model, too. Odd, what exactly is the problem, so I know what to look for... | |

Where on the guitar is the version number? | |

I used this fix myself and have had no problems since. It is very easy to do and only takes about 10 minutes. Quote:

Does your whammy bar work by moving it up and down? Ours works by pushing it in towards the guitar itself. I've heard that this is the issue. | No. The whammy bar only works when being pushed towards the guitar. It moves up and down only so that you can put it into a position that is comfortable to you. | |

| Woundup, thanks. I'll give the fix a try right now.
Now that it's been mentioned, I think there were several occasions where it didn't register my whammy bar when I pressed it in... so I guess I do have one of the defective ones.
Nevertheless, I'll give it a whirl! | |

| Well, I did experience a tiny bit of inconsistencies once I thought about it, so I tried the quick fix and just played for a while and the whammy board worked perfectly each time. | |
