I'm on my third guitar and also my third drum set. I'll concur that the replacement process is easy. No problems with it yet.

Nothing wrong with my launch gear yet albeit I don't think they've been played enough to really fully check their durability (drums hardly played.. and I use a GH guitar for the songs). One thing I notice on my guitar for example is the strum bar feels really flimsy.....
So, in light of the failure rates, I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and trade em in for the newer models? Are the newer guitars more durable than the launch one I have? Think I should send it in? I'm just afraid it's going to break sometime down the road when someone actually plays on the thing.
You'll have to break it before you can get it replaced. Personally I have been playing my guitar a little harder than normal in hopes that it will fail so I can get a replacement. Unfortunately, it seems the replacements are no better than the originals.
I'd reccomend playing either Run to the Hills on BASS, Number of the Beast on Guitar, or Highway Star on Guitar if you want your strum bar to break ... those provide the most strum-abusive note lines.

Rock Band outsells Guitar Hero III for the month of January on the Xbox 360:

This weeks tracks are reported as :
Weezer - "El Scorcho"
Stone Temple Pilots - "Sex Type Thing"
Garbage - "Why Do You Love Me"
pardon me while I do a little "dance of excitement" for EL SCORCHO!
I honestly didn't think we'd ever see any Rock Band releases from Weezer's fan-favorite but Weezer-front-man-Rivers-Cuomo-disowned-album "Pinkerton", much less one of the best cuts off of it!!
I'm SO freakin' excited to rock out with another great Weezer track ... and if Rock Band is set up at Nava I'll totally buy a Microsoft Points Card to add some tracks (including that one) to the Digital Press XBL account!!
