I gave these bears (3) as gifts. Kids love them. They are incredibly cute and seem well built. I hope that the 2015 Collectible is just as nice.

This product is excellent for beginning and intermediate guitar players, and this review does not address its qualities in that regard. However, there is an issue of LATENCY that is confused in the reviews I've read, and I'd like to post the actual instructions from the product. The enclosed instructions specifically say that if you connect your audio indirectly to your TV--that is, PS3 audio output via HDMI to TV, then TV audio output to audio system--that you are most likely to encounter latency, and this setup is therefore specifically not recommended. To avoid latency, you MUST connect your PS3 audio output directly to your audio system. It's a pain, and may necessitate the purchase of extra cables and adapters, but latency renders the program unusable.
