![]() ![]() I cut the cardboard with the curve to fit in the button more snug. It is about the thickness of a white paper cd sleeve with a plastic window folded over. I took the cardboard from the back of a small pad. This will cause each persons to be different and you may have to take out the buttons a few times while you are making adjustments and they are a pain to take out but well worth the effort. When trying this, I'm sure like we did, you will be using what you have on hand. I was already thinking of sometime in the future, trying to gut a guitar I have to make a full size wireless guitar and when I saw this, I figured for $50, worse case is I have the body and neck already cut for me to do my own thing. I was pretty excited when I read this fix, i was hoping it was as simple as it looked to make this guitar work because when it does work like it should, it rocks and was worth every penny. Looks like there are A LOT of people with the same problem. I was already heading in the direction of trying to take apart the frets and as usual, turned to the web to do a little research and see if anyone else had the same problem. I was totally bummed out that this guitar didn't work. I love the "rare" and "once approved" and "at your own cost" You will need to send us a copy of your receipt, and once approved, will send the Rock Axe back to us in Florida at your own cost for shipping. This process usually takes 3-4 weeks to complete and I can send you the paperwork for this if you would like. The buttons will ease over time and with more play. It is quite normal for the buttons to be a little hard to press initially as our controller is a full size genuine guitar and is much sturdier than other smaller controllers. What you describe is a rare problem, but I have heard of it occasionally. Thank you for contacting us about your Rock Axe game controller. I also blasted back a nice reply to them. Thought I would share a part of the email response I got. ![]() As you know, this is a common issue if you hunt around online for reviews etc. I am glad the fix made this thing work because I would have flipped dealing with them. ![]() Now I can hear the music instead of the rattling.īefore i found this fix and tried it, I fired off an email to Ashley. After just one day, the mod seems to be holding up fine, the button action has loosened a bit, but it plays so quietly I really hope this works. Now the bar action is much smoother, and it only clicks once for each strum instead of twice. I put electrical tape on the retaining plate at the spots where the bar hits it when strummed. I took the strum bar out, cleaned the grease off the little pivot pins, and wrapped the pins in teflon tape. I removed the circuit board behind the strum bar (4 screws) Then slid the strum bar retaining plate off the screw stand offs. Since I already had the pick guard off, I gave the strum bar a little tweak. The button now depresses at most 1/8", takes a bit of getting used to, but the sensitivity is really quite good. with that done, I only needed a layer or two of electrical tape for shims to get a really responsive button. I wrapped teflon tape around the flange of each button, this made the wobbly go away, it shortened the "throw" of the button, and it took away the rattle. So, before I shimmed it, I did another mod. The other complaint I had was the rattling noises of both the fret buttons and the strum bar. The shims were definitely needed, but I thought I could do more. It seems that part of the problem is that the buttons have too much "slop." It only makes good contact if you press the button in the middle, otherwise it wobbles back and forth, breaking contact in the process. Holding/pressing those buttons was tiring. ![]()
