If you can go upwards of 400 you can snag a used carvin on ebay. They are custom guitars that rival prs made in the U.S. And are upwards of 1000 when ordered new. That would be the best quality for buck out of anything.

Haven't seen It mentioned here yet, so here goes.

The following thread is about a Target deal to get a $10gc when you spend $50.
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=310520
So use the coupon to buy Rocksmith @ Target's temporary price of $69.99 and you'll get the $10gc. It's pretty much like getting RS for 60 and use the 10gc for whatever else you want.

I have only played mine twice, and left it alone for awhile. I just start it up again and get a lot of feedback when playing. In between loading screen, they let I can play the guitar and there would be no feedback, but when I'm in the actual song, there's a constant feed back noise. Anyone know what's going on?

Don't know which system you use, but Disconnect any extras like Kinect or PS eye. The built-in Mics can really screw things up. Also make sure the break-away cable is properly seated.

This is the one I use when I put the guitar away for the night. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i01_details The Bursewood is just like one reviewer said, a dust cover. Picked it up to use with my guitar stand. Basically no padding, no interior lining so the guitar can still fit on the stand while it's in this bag. Gonna have to get to a craft store to buy some felt or something to line the inside. Use this one for those times where I may stop playing for a bit but think I'll come back later in the day. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Kaces-El...11-i1171432.gc My friend bought the Kaces bag at the same time she bought her SG junior but I tested it out with my Dean and it still fit. This bag has padding but it was less than the On Stage Deluxe. I'd guess it was half as thick. And the front pocket is pretty much only useful for papers. Straps were strong though

Thanks!

Has anyone tried to return a guitar to BestBuy? I looked through their policy and non-returnable items include harmonicas(), earbuds, mics, but not musical instruments in general. And they're not listed in the 14day policy so it should fall under the regular category of 30 days I assume.

They have these Dean XMT guitars for $99 which sounds like the one you guys recommend. Although I should have jumped on the $65 Jay Turser at Amazon. How are these for Rocksmith?

My only worry would be how well they pack it for shipping.

This next deal will probably only help SoCal CAGs. Found a craigslist ad for Schecter Warehouse sidewalk sale. Happens this Saturday in Burbank, CA. They're also clearing out Seymour Duncan and Daisy Rock stock

If you go, come back here and gloat about your finds

That looks to be the same guitar. Also Guitar Center has the XMT in satin natural for 99 and you can use the $10 cpn on it.
Try finding out if Best Buy carries it in-store. That way you can check it out before buying.

As for packaging,the box that my Dean was in had virtually no packaging. Just some extra cardboard in the corners and around the headstock and the guitar was in a foam sleeve. But the guitar box was shipped inside a larger box which had a whole bunch of padding. This was ordered thru Guitar Center and I had it shipped to store.

Does anyone know if the cable that comes with rocksmith will work for powergig? I know it isnt the best game. At four bucks at newegg its one a buck more than one dlc song for rocksmith.

I don't think so... Power Gig didn't use a real guitar - it was just a fake guitar with some crudely functioning strings.

Called my gamestop up two days ago and their price was back up to $79.99 :(

Just a heads-up to all interested....Amazon is having a pretty decent musical instrument sale. Here's the link directly for electric guitars. Prices vary from about $99 and up...discounts between 15%-50%.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_...&rnid=11971241

Guitar Center and Musicians Friend are have competing sales right now. They each have a 16%off one select item sale (select brands), with Dean included as one of the brands. I'm including links so you can see the eligible brands.

And remember that the Schecter warehouse has the sidewalk sale today

Think crazedracer is right. Looked at gameplay vids and the game doesn't even try to track the string you play, just the fret you're holding. So the game essentially dumbed the guitar down to Guitar Hero play style of 5 frets instead of doing what Rocksmith does

Found it sad that the demo guy was more interested in showing that the guitar could plug in to an amp than showing gameplay.

But this vid cheered me up.

Sooo glad RS turned out as well as it did, 'cause it could've gone sooo wrong

Sucks to hear. I'll update the OP.

Looks like the only remaining deals are Amazon, TRU and Target. And those deals are set to expire today, 12/10.

Wonder if we'll see any other deals before Christmas

You must go down there just to gloat at what I missed from living on the other coast. I was so tempted today at the Shaun Morgan Schecter with that 16% applied. I tried stacking the coupons on the off chance that it would work, but it didn't.

I'm not worthy!

But i'll camp out this time next year. Tailgate party!

I tried searching this thread, but I am most likely an idiot and could not find the answer. Does this game support acoustic electric guitars? I assume so but would like to know if anyone in this thread has tried it. Thank you, CAG community, for any answer.

anyone interested in a brand new ps3 full guitar bundle?

See the post above and the following link to the RS forums.
http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...759#2111039759
Seems like it'll work as long as the guitar has a pickup and 1/4" jack.

Don't remember any CAG that used an acoustic electric. But hopefully they'll speak up if they did.

It worked fine with my acoustic electric. One thing I didn't like though was hearing the acoustic sound while also hearing the electric on the game even while using headphones. I ended up buying an electric to play the game and to keep my wife and child from hearing me late at night.

Alright, Toys r Us comes thru with a Rocksmith deal.

Buy the version at $79.99 and get a $20 giftcard + 1 free month of Xbox Live Gold.

Don't see mention of the PS3 version in the ad

Can someone suggest a good device to record with? My husband likes to record himself playing the guitar than plays it back to play over like he's got some to play with. He does this a lot when inspiration hits him in the middle of the night. He also likes to record his jams. If the device can also be used for interviews that'd be great too. Thanks!
