BOMB Review: First-Act GE-2000 Guitar Controller

BOMB writes: "Being a guitarist, I've been intrigued by the idea of a full-sized wooden guitar since they first hit the market.

Today, I picked up the First Act controller to see if it made all my virtual rock dreams come true.

For being made (mostly) out of wood, the guitar surprised me with it's weight… or lack thereof. Although it is markedly heavier than a plastic controller, it's amazingly light. Much lighter than a similar sized real axe. I say 'similar sized' because, let's face it, it's NOT a full sized guitar, being closer to a 3/4 scale instrument.

Perhaps my favorite feature of the controller is the spacing of the 'solo' buttons (the smaller buttons, high on the neck). The stock Rock Band controller has closely spaced solo buttons, with no clear delineation of where one button ends and the next button starts. This makes it difficult (for me) to use them with any accuracy. The First Act controller has solo buttons that are similarly spaced to the standard buttons at the bottom of the neck, and they are clearly raised, making them easy to distinguish from one another."
