When Guitar Hero II hit the shelves 2 weeks ago, some people were experiencing problems with the whammy bar. After further investigation, it was happening to one particular model only. Red Octane contracted out two manufacturers to produce the guitar's too meet the demand. Apparently one of those models has been a little problematic and people were trying too fix the problem them selves. Today, Activision said in a press release, that the problem isn't in the hardware but the software. It appears to be a line of code that Activision added late in development that would prevent people from cheating.
“On learning of potential issues with the whammy bar on the Xbox360 guitar, we immediately began extensive testing of both the guitar and the software to isolate any issues with whammy bar functionality and the corresponding causes. Our testing identified a specific software element that may, in certain situations, cause the whammy bar to lose responsiveness. Given that this is a software-driven, an patch is being developed to fix the issue and will arrive as soon as possible via download on Xbox Live. We will confirm soon a target date for this download.”
Whatever you do, don't try fixing your guitar. Wait a few weeks and the patch should have you up and going in no time.
