Aug 6 2007Lego Guitar Hero Controller

This guy built a fully functional Guitar Hero controller out of Legos. He says:
This is a custom guitar controller for the game Guitar Hero, modeled after a Gibson Explorer guitar, with an extra large scratch-plate for style. I gutted the real controller and put the electronic boards in the lego case, so it actually works, too
So does making something out of Legos automatically make it cool? Because I replaced my friend's medicine with Legos once and he just ended up in the hospital. Which I thought was cool, but he seemed pretty upset.

Seems lame to me, but unless it is some type of clock or lamp I am not usually impressed.
First!

i figured out why this website has fewer comments than most -
all the people who would read this find it on gizmodo first, and comment there.

This is officially the greatest thing I have ever laid eyes on.
I shall add this to my collection of GH/GH2 controller mods.

it's gonna suck pretty bad when that guy gets too excited after a successful play of freebird and breaks the god damn thing.

My authentic guitars scoff at those plastic imitations, and now they turn their noses up at the pixelated lego version.
But my guitars are pretentious fucks. I say AWESOME JOB DUDE!
