Rock Band Guitar!!

Here it is, the Rock Band Fender Stratocaster. Besides resembling the original Fender Strat, it has multi-colored buttons on the neck that wrap around and include the fret. That means that playing Rock Band not only mimics playing an actual guitar, but this design lets you see what exactly you the heck you are pressing. In short: it's natural. Production hasn't yet begun apparently, so this must be a near-final prototype. Hope it plays as good as it looks.Kotaku

The controller's a beaut. Thing is, I don't see many people buying a $200 bundle for one game (hello, Steel Battalion). And on top of that, I think most people are going to want to play guitar rather than the drums, which is going to make drummers a hot commodity (Alex is going to get hammered with Friend Requests).

I think this is the perfect progression of the Guitar Hero idea, but I also think it's going to be pretty limited due to the cost. I hope it does well, though, as the idea is absolutely awesome.

This game apeals to a completely different range of people than Steel Battallion. Most people you'd ask probably wouldn't have heard of that game, while most, if not all, would have heard, or played, Guitar Hero. Sure, sales may not be the greatest with a $200 game, but I'm sure it will sell pretty darn well.

The guitarfor the game: OMG, cool:o

The game: must get:D

I can't wait for Guitar Hero III and/or Rock Band Guitar(I think thats the name)!!!

Your both right though. I remember Batallion, and that ridiculously large controller panel they made people buy.
The difference is though, that these controllers that come with GH, GH2 and most probably this new Band game, are universal and interchangable between games.

Nice avatar btw. Thats one of my fav albums of all time.
Get the new 1 its not bad.
