I know I'm late to the party, but I think it's time to pick up Guitar Hero. What's my best bet for getting a decent guitar these days? I've read several places that the wireless one that comes with 3 is unreliable. While I would love to stumble across a cheap GH2 bundle, that's probably not going to happen. Wal-Mart is selling a wired GH3 bundle, maybe that's the way to go?
What's the best Guitar Hero guitar?

I think the wireless Kramer packed in with Aerosmith worked just fine (no lag). I have the original red SG bundled with GH1, and two white SG's packed with GH3 Legends [Target exclusive]. So yeah, all 5 GH titles (all completed on medium) and 4 GH guitars.
IMO, GH1 had the best track list, then progressively gotten worse. I mean, so many Aerosmith hits were missing from the latest release; were they saving up for Aerosmith 2?

From personal experience, the GH1 guitar (black w/cord) has endured a thrashing on the first, second, 80's, and Rock Band since 2005 and still functions quite well. The tilt-detection on it has been starting to fail over the past year, but I attribute that more to wear-and-tear than anything else...
I haven't used the GH2 guitar (red w/cord) too much, as I save it for others to use in multiplayer sessions. From my time with it, the tilt-detection is much more forgiving than the GH1 guitar ever was. I've actually triggered 'Star Power' with it accidentally a few times, so it may be your best bet for just starting out if you can find one...
The stand-alone guitar sold separately around when the 80's edition was released (white cordless) seemed to handle okay the few times I've messed with it at a friend's house. The lack of a cord is a plus, and while it felt slightly sluggish with input, it wasn't anything that hampered the experience...
I have yet to try out the black wireless from GH3 or Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, the Target-exclusive white/orange corded sold with GH3, or whatever's in the Wal-Mart bundle, so hopefully someone else can cover those. Hope that helps though!
