In a forum post via the official community forums, Harmonix went on record claiming that the strum bars in early production where “imperfect”. This just confirms what we already knew. We’ve been getting reports of guitars breaking by the truckload. In addition, Harmonix spoke on the issue of PS3 guitar compatibility, saying, “These issues have our full attention”. Read the full response after the jump.

Many of you have contacted us regarding your guitar controllers. As sometimes happens when new products first go into manufacturing, we discovered an imperfection with the strum bar in an early production run of guitars that were shipped at launch.

Harmonix also promised that changes will be made to the new batch of guitars that are set to release. Those of you who already own a broken guitar can contact EA and have a new one sent out here. Or if you are more of a do-it-yourselfer you can attempt the rubber band fix found here. Either way you slice it, it’s bad news for early adopters.
