If ur into Guitar Hero III and feel ur suffering from dropped notes or star power coming on unwanted, then this perma-fix for the Les Paul guitar might work for u. I must say I haven't noticed anything myself yet. I got GH III this weekend, I had a friend over from abroad and I needed a party game, and Saturday nite was one of the best video game experiences evah. Beers, toy guitar and blaring along with some of the songs. Even mah gf joined in after a while, and in the end the three of us spent playing until 6AM or something. If you need a 'trick' this holiday season, you should get either GH III or Rock Band (which I don't own nor intend to get -I hate peripherals actually and I am much too solitary gamer to start a band or whatever).
