Guitar Hero guitar project

[fett]

My boy is stoked. While he is visiting me, we are going to start the conversion of a real guitar to be used for his X-Box 360 Guitar Hero game. His friends are really into it. They have Guitar Hero parties.

[fett]

It will be a vast improvement.:ROTF:

Have fun!

[fett]

It's going to be fun. While he is here, we are going to remove the board and take out the trussrod. He has all the loose parts from other GH guitars to make it work at his place. Have you checked out how much they are? Like $300 or more.

thats an awesome idea fett. i wonder if some wizard could work it with a working trem that works in the game as well? are ugoing to put the finger buttons in the ifngerboard of the mockingbird??

[fett]

Yep. The buttons where he wants them. There is only the one real pot. but the control cavity is 5 inches long so there is plenty of room for the new buttons. As you can see, there is open space for the "Strummer". This could work out very well.

yeah, i can't wait to see what it'll look like when u've done it. u have to take photos!

[fett]

I have over 125 real guitars.:ROTF: When he saw the Mockingbird, his eyes lit up.:ROTF: I asked him about the GH neck buttons and he said they are not very thick. They should fit in the fretboard without digging into the neck. With the trussrod out, there is the channel for the wires. I don't know, but it has me stoked as well.

That is going to be very cool! Let us know how it ends up. You may want to patent it.

[fett]

They already do that. But, this guitar seems perfect for the project.

[levantin]

That's great! You all know real guitars are for old people :ROTF:
