It's here. Unfortunately the MIDI adapter shipment got delayed to tomorrow so can't test it just yet.


The box.


Clear caution on the box for XBOX users. Apparently the in-store demo units in Best Buy has working navigation feature for their XBOX 360s.


How it's packed. That's it besides a few spacers. No foam support or bubble wrap. If you intend to ship this from US I would suggest paying extra and get your shipping agent to pack the box with extra bubble wrap or foam.


The guitar.


It's an Indonesian strat.


Size comparison. From left : Mad Catz Fender Telecaster, Mad Catz Fender Mustang, and the Squier Stratocaster.

First impression of the Mad Catz Mustang


Size comparison with the Mad Catz Fender Telecaster and 360 controller.

1. It's light, not much heavier than the Telecaster but more so compared to the Hofner Bass from Beatles:RB.

2. The fretboard buttons are all the same size, no problems if you're moving from the 5-button RB/GH guitars to it. Those familiar with a guitar will take some time getting used to it.

3. Strumming strings are nylon I believe, very sensitive. They give 2 Medium Fender picks.

4. The Fretboard module is modular and removable, hopefully anyone would be able to buy a replacement fretboard in the future if its busted.

IMHO, the Mustang is great for anyone who has no real guitar experience and wanting to move up from Standard to Pro Guitar mode. Those who have guitar playing experience might want to wait for the Fender RB3 Squier Strat instead. Because the strings and buttons are all the same size, finger placement takes a bit of training to get used to since you can't differentiate between strings based on feel alone.

Free bump for Hilmi.

Wonder when we're gonna get John Denver onto RB3 .....
