Summary: Compatible with Rock Band 2/ACDC Track Pack and most likely the other track packs as well
Comment: First off, if you like exotic peripherals for your rhythm game experience then it doesn't get any better than this guitar. It's a signed version of Gene Simmons' guitar shaped like an axe...how awesome is that?!
Now let me tell you all the truth...after Rock Band came out for the Wii, Nintendo forced Harmonix and Activision to play nice and make controllers that worked for both games. As such, this guitar works for all Harmonix games that came out after Rock Band Wii. It works just fine with Rock Band 2 as well as the AC/DC track pack. In addition, it will work with Track Pack Vol 2; 1 I'm not so sure about.
Anywho, for all the people that bought this as a Christmas gift and then complained that it doesn't work with Rock Band, instead of whining, go out and buy Rock Band 2.
The guitar plays wel and is actually the closest in size to a real guitar. An excellent buy overall.

Summary: Sorry, But Thanks!
Comment: Solace to the victims.
Your disappointment and experience has saved me alot of trouble.
I was slow to purchase the AXE for my wii-rockband because I was saving up the money. I can't imagine how furious I would be if I had ordered it after saving up! I hope you guys get it resolved easily and I'm sorry for the experiences you had. I hope it comforts you a bit to know that you saved me from a rotten month! I'm not planning on getting it now.
The deceivers only gain for a short while!

Summary: Gene Axe guiter for Guitar Hero Wii
Comment: The axe works well with the wii Guitar Hero. It looks great and is a great collectible. Only concerns were the difficulty in attaching guitar strap and the fact that the whammy bar is in an awkward position and it is a little difficult to reach while strumming. The whammy bar is not as easy to use like the whammy bar on the guitar that comes with guitar hero. I will keep it because of the nostalgia of the axe and how good it looks.

Summary: Not as advertised
Comment: I received this as a Christmas Present along with both Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3. The Guitar does not work with Rock Band as Amazon and the website for the unit describes. On another note, the guitar strap needs tweaking as it was difficult to get it on the nut and I ended up stretching it out of shape an had to use a guitar strap that I had. On a Positive note It is a cool replica of the famous AXE, It feels good to hold and is balanced well.
