That was my first thought upon unboxing Logitech's Xbox 360 Wireless Guitar Controller.The second thing I noted, as I lifted it out, was that it is very heavy.This is no cheap plastic toy!This is a solid, well-constructed, replica guitar.And the quality shows.

Inside the box, the guitar is well protected for shipping with bubble wrap and cardboard spacers.Of note is the fact that this is a one piece unit.This completely eliminates the connectivity issues between the neck and body, as sometimes seen in guitar controllers that come boxed as two pieces.The guitar measures 33.75 inches from tip to base, with a slightly larger body than my Guitar Hero World Tour guitar, which measures only 31.25 inches in length (see the photo I posted with this review).This extra length pushes the fret buttons up a little bit, but I did not find this to be an issue.I store my guitars on a stand, but if you use a guitar bag or case, be aware that it might not fit.Rounding out the included accessories are a user manual, a quality strap, some batteries to get you up and playing fast, and an adapter for older style Xbox 360 headsets.

IMPRESSIONS
The guitar itself is modeled after Guitar Hero guitars, with the raised fret buttons and the neck slider feature.Keep this in mind if you are someone who prefers the look of the Rock Band guitars, with their in-line fret buttons.The chrome detailing, including tuning pegs and bridge, and use of real screws in the white pick guard lends an authentic look, effectively disguising the Start (bridge) and Star Power buttons (pickups) while keeping them functional.There is even an authentic looking nut between the headstock and the neck. The Star Power button sits right under the ball of your hand, so it's easy to press down on while strumming (you can also still rock Star Power with a neck tilt).The strum bar is the best I have ever seen on a guitar controller.It has exactly the right tactile feel, and is responsive yet quiet.One of my fret buttons makes a bit of a clickety-clack when I hit it, but I am hoping this goes away as it wears in.Overall, this is a quiet guitar, allowing for more enjoyment of the music.

COMPATIBILITY
I have tested this guitar with the following Xbox 360 games that I own:

* Band Hero: Yes
* Guitar Hero Van Halen: Yes
* Guitar Hero 5: Yes
* Guitar Hero World Tour: Yes
* Guitar Hero III: Yes
* Guitar Hero II: Yes
* Rock Band The Beatles: Yes
* Rock Band 2: Yes
* Rock Band: Yes

CONCLUSION
This is a quality guitar controller that I would recommend to any serious gamer who wants to add authenticity to their music games.It is a joy to play.
