Someone gimme some good news please. Just recently my whammy bar died, totally. On some long notes i can hit it down hard, and i see a TINY amount of movement in the note from the whammy bar, but not even close to normal. I have no idea how it's happened, i've been with the guitar every time it's been used and noone has ever mistreated it. If i take it back to EB games like i do with everything, should i get a replacement guitar? I know the whammy bar isn't 100% necessary...until you enter boss battles and they use the whammy power on you.

The wii version of the guitars do have very dodgy wammy bars you should be able to get it fixed under warrenty if its not something you can do yourself.

First time I fired up GH3 this happened, I wasn't sure if I had a dodgy guitar or maybe because I had just started career I needed to get a better guitar or something. But yeah, next time I loaded it up, it worked fine. I then realised I had the guitar upside down on my lap when putting in the wiimote and prob had the whammy bar pressed down.
