The RB3 Squier is out?

Officially, it's the Squier® by Fender® Stratocaster® Guitar and Controller.   Some refer to it as "The Pro Guitar" or just "the real guitar for Rock Band 3" and so on.    Calling it the SbFSGaC for short is rather unwieldy after all.

Like many of the peripherals for the game, as described here and elsewhere, the initial availability was either non-existent or in short supply.     However, once the "RB3 Squier" became available on March 1st 2011, it was a Best Buy exclusive, for what was understood to be a month but was never officially stated in any consumer materials.   Like all things though, dates slip and a more general availability was not seen starting in April.    This has in some ways recently changed.

And in other ways, it hasn't.
