This is the guitar that I purchased to accompany me in my path to rock stardom (well, not quite...) As Argos doesn't allow you to review products on their website unless you bought them online and I instead opted to drag the thing home on a bus in an attempt to keep my musical aspirations hidden from my ever-loving family, I thought I'd review it here instead:
Good guitar to use as an elaborate controller for a video game
By Rocke Smythe from England/the internet.
Overall Rating 4 Stars Good
Recommend to a friend? Yes
"As an electric guitar was both a crucial accompaniment to Rocksmith and a piece of equipment missing from my arsenal of failed musical instruments over the years, I found myself in the position of having to acquire an one for as little money and with as little research needed as possible. To this end, I purchased the Elevation full size electric guitar.
It is a perfectly decent guitar. I'm not sure I'd want to play a gig with it - the sound can be a little distorted at times and it is prone to dropping out of tune - but for the purpose of using it as an elaborate controller for a video game (which is essentially what Rocksmith is doing) it is a good guitar.
The Elevation full size electric guitar looks pleasant enough in the corner of my room and is also subtle enough to blend into the background, an important aspect when trying to keep it hidden from other people. It was easy to set up, although the slits cut into the strap ends seemed a bit small or maybe that was just me...? Tuning is easy and the pegs don't resist being turned, for which we must be thankful as Rocksmith makes you test the tuning and re-do it with startling frequency. It came with a multitude of accessories, including a plectrum, spare strings and a lead to connect to an amp. Actually, I think that was all of them.
Overall, I am pleased with my purchase and would suggest that anyone in the UK who wants Rocksmith but doesn't currently own an electric guitar could do worse than purchase the Elevation full size guitar."
