Strum Fix Plus 3 Product Info

You can order the SFP3 on our store.

The Strum Fix Plus 3 (SFP3) is a replacement strummer assembly for Rock Band guitars that features a light, reliable, silent, and fast strum bar action. It is designed to have a feel similar to a Guitar Hero guitar, but quieter and requiring less force to activate.

Guitar Compatibility and Installation

Installation and compatibility is the same as the Strum Fix Plus 2 and Strum Fix Plus 4, requiring you to open up the guitar and connect a pair of wires. No soldering is required.

Strum Fix Plus 3 (SFP3) vs Strum Fix Plus 2 (SFP2) and the Strum Fix Plus 4 (SFP4) - What’s the difference?

  • SFP3 has longer travel strum bar, with a higher profile that sticks up a little further.

  • SFP3 has lighter action (less force required to activate switches).

  • SFP3 quickly returns to the center position when the strum bar is released.

  • SFP4 uses mechanical switches like the SFP3, but has slightly shorter travel and more powerful “return to center” action.

While the feel of the strum bar is subjective, the way I would describe it that you use more of ‘flip’ or ‘flick’ gesture than a ‘press’ to strum the SFP3. The SFP3 strum bar has a bit more travel than the SFP2, but the switches activate well before the strum bar is fully rotated down or up. In the SFP2 the switches have less travel and activate just as the strum bar is fully rotated up against the hard stops. The SFP4 has a little less travel than the SFP3, but stronger centering action due to having 4 switches instead of 2.
