The guitar is the Hammer. Covers the body and in his hand like a real. Very high grade processed. The stop button can not be heard. The handle keys make easy noises when released but you have already plan to concentrate to hear that. Whoever hears the keys and feels as disturbing has its TV and the system too low. ;-) That thing is a quantum leap compared to the originals GH controllers. Had I known how much fun playing with this controler makes I had the orginalen Controller saved.
