Over in the New Hardware 2010 release dates thread I mentioned that, "A friend also pointed out that you can get a pair of these Logitech guitars for £180 and they look nice too! 5-button controllers only though."
Really not sure if anybody cares about these nowdays. They're not new news, especially not with the Mustang and Squire RB controllers, but they're new to me as I hadn't paid them too much attention back when they were released. But here they are, and here's a link to the Logitech page in case anybody happens to be interested.
My friend brought one of the pair over for me to try on Saturday. I was so delighted with it that I said if he wanted to split the cost, I'd be up for taking the spare off him if he didn't want both. He accepted. I collected my own boxed Logitech this evening.
Some quick impressions as I only played his for a few songs and just checked mine worked okay tonight.

- This thing is hefty!! You won't want to go swinging this around. I normally slide my guitar down behind my back when I need to get it out of the way. I'm wary of this weighty item swinging around and clouting something! This is probably the USP for me. I like the solid weight and feel of this.
- It looks and feels fantastic to my mind. The buttons however are slightly smaller and wider spaced than the GH:WT-GH5 era guitar that I normally use. Learning the subtley different feel is something common to all different guitar models.
- The strummer is utterly silent. I really liked the original RB1 stratocaster guitar at the time it came out. I think it had a quiet strummer too? My GH line of plastic guitars all click. I'm used to the click although I'm not too fussed either way, I think.
- The Logitech guitar itself is only ever so slightly larger than a GH-WT-GH5 era guitar.
