Mar 18 2008Rock Band Mod Uses Real Guitar String
Rock Band just not real enough for you? Would playing a string instead of a strum-bar help? If so then this is the mod for you. All you have to do is dremel and drill the hell out of your guitar and install it. The patent pending kit is available on eBay with a starting bid of $75 plus an ultra-freaking-ridiculous shipping price of $24. You know, that's what I hate about eBay sellers -- their unbelievable shipping charges. I mean, this kit is two pieces of wood, some springs, screws and wire. What the French toast? It's like the time I bought a book and didn't realize the seller was asking $40 shipping. You know what I told that jerk? I told him I didn't want it anymore and if he even thought about leaving me negative feedback I'd find out where he lives and kill his whole family. I take my 100% positive feedback seriously.
Another picture of the unassembled kit and a video of it in action after the jump.

I actually own the first prototype for this guitar, bought it off ebay a couple months ago, it works great, but i'm looking to sell my PS3 off and all the games.
If anyone is interested in buying this guitar off me, i'm taking offers. The guitar plus the mod on it. This is for the PS3.
Thanks,
Tom

You used "they're" incorrectly. It is supposed to be "their." :)

#4: Not necessarily. Either could work: "they are ridiculous shipping charges" or "their ridiculous shipping charges."

You actually could buy a real guitar for $100, ah well if people want to waste their money on crap like this who am I to complain...

Real string is cool......but here is one better:
They need to remove the 5 buttons and create a Mod that uses 5 strings.....the strings only need to be the width of the distance of the 5 buttons and yet no wider than the neck of the guitar.....
single string is cool, couple it with 5 strings and we are rockin'.

Too bad the controller sucks compared to the Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul.

Whoa, this looks like too much effort to be ultimately bummed.

Uh, I've been using a real guitar (with all 6 strings) for guitar hero since part 2 on PS2

This isn't a real guitar mod, its just a controller shoved into a guitar body.
I've made the first guitar mod and so far, its still the only one that doesn't use any parts from the controller other than the circuit board.
This is just a case mod :)
Get more creative guys!!
