Fretlight Standard Electric Guitar with Built-in LED Lighted Learning System, Black (FG-511BK)

Best way to learn. Great invention !Cons, wish the neck was solid wood and it is hard to set-up the action .

So far so good .. !

I totally expected set-up to be a hastle, and it was. I won't go into the details, but it took me a couple of hours just to get it playable... Again, I expected that, however, its now been 4 hours total, and I have still yet to see a single dot light-up on the guitar. The software installed, but it is UN-NAVIGATABLE, and there are no directions on how to use it. Most buttons go to dead links online. The other 2 CDs that came with the package will not run at all. Its says they have to be installed on the computer to run, but they will not install. NONE of the 3 CD/DVDs would autorun. I have a very modern, up-to-date computer, and nothing in this bundle is working. The fretlight website says you need to download various files from their website, but again, none of the links work! They say their are known problems and to "be patient." Seriously? How about creating a working product before you release it??? I'm pissed that I've wasted half of my day off on this. I am an experienced guitar player with over 35 years of playing. I don't want software to teach me how to play guitar, all I wanted was to light-up some scales so I could improve my own playing with arpeggios, partial chords, etc... How a company could develop a cool light-up fretboard and then make it so difficult to use and light-up to me is un-imaginable. I fully expected to [functionally] love this guitar, but at this moment, I hate it. I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel I owe it to other musicians to be forewarned. If I can get this guitar to do what I want it to do (which isn't asking that much), I may still end-up keeping it and using it. However, right now it is boggling my mind how hard it is to even know for sure whether or not it actually is even functional. I would like to see a real, quality guitar company make an affordable version of this that was more user friendly, and less disappointing Yuck...UPDATE: Update. I finally was able to download working software. Only to findout that none of the lights past the 5th fret are working! Ugghhhh....
