EA replacing borked Rock Band guitars

Is your Rock Band axe hindering your rise to Heavy Metal Rock God? Developer Harmonix (via forum post) has acknowledged there was an "imperfection with the strum bar in an early production run of guitars that were shipped at launch ... we have have since identified and fixed the issue in all subsequent production runs of the guitars."

Those who have a broken Rock Band stratocaster can visit Electronic Arts' customer support website and they "will send a replacement immediately." We have yet to get the site to work for us (curse you, "Diagnostic code: page WWN, 2:") but hopefully that will be cleared up soon. The impatient and handy people out there can also try a more DIY fix (thanks, Oxide99).

The post also tackled the subject of PlayStation 3's guitar compatibility woes. Though not mentioning the Guitar Hero III Les Paul by name, they do say that they read everything in the forums posts and that they are "committed to providing the best play experience possible and working hard to ensure that we solve these problems as soon as possible."
