How fragile is my Mustang “Pro Guitar” controller?

Question

I got the 102-button "Mustang" guitar for Rock Band 3, and I'm kind of afraid I'm going to break it if I breathe on it too hard. (Possibly I'm just having bad memories of the hardware issues at RB1's launch.)

In particular, the strings feel awful flimsy. Does anyone know how they're constructed, or how much force they're designed to take? Are there play styles which are known to be bad for the Mustang or, alternately, cases of them taking a beating and still being totally usable? Should fingers vs. pick matter?

Answer

I also have a Mustang Pro Guitar and it's far too new for anyone to tell if it will be durable or not. I would give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it will be durable until the community proves otherwise.

In other words, check back here in a year. :)

Also I found the guitar almost unplayable without a pick. My fingers are nowhere near precise enough to hit specific strings.. so I always use a pick, and the guitar manual recommends you use a pick as well (the guitar itself comes with 2 picks in the plastic bag containing the manual.)
