Since:

A.) There seems to be an overwhelming amount of "Defective out of the box and/or I broke my Rock Band hardware within 1-3 hours of play-time" threads on the web at the current time.

and

B.) There seems to be an exceptional shortage of places for Rock Band users who have 100% functional hardware to post the "completely functional satus" of their $170 investment.

I figured that I'd create a haven for happy, satisfied game consumers who were fortunate enough to not have defective Fenders, Drum-Kits or USB Microphones.

Please - share your hands-on reports of how long your strum-bars have been registering up and down strokes perfectly, and how accurate your drum pads and pedal are.
