Relic Telecaster Rockband controllers.

I don't know why but this kinda rubs me the wrong way.

Chris S. · December 24th, 2009, 06:03 PM

What, you don't think the original Rockband controllers back in the '50s looked like that? ;-) CS

Blazer · December 24th, 2009, 06:21 PM

Name me one player of that game that has been playing it for so long that his controller has naturally reliced.

freshthreat · December 24th, 2009, 06:25 PM

That is HILARIOUS!!!!! lol!

neocaster · December 24th, 2009, 06:27 PM

That's truly awesome. As for "enough", not until people stop buying.

deepea · December 24th, 2009, 06:48 PM

No, I think a signature model would be over the top.

RomanS · December 24th, 2009, 06:50 PM

You gotta admit, though - the "correct" F-style B5 is a nice touch...

Ronkirn · December 24th, 2009, 06:52 PM

Yeah.. I remember the original Rock Band and the controllers.... all analogue ... and a Tube computer, it was the size of an Airstream.... the cable from the guitar controller was about the size of a garden hose..

I don't think that's supposed to be spalted maple. I think skanky pine is closer to the truth.

According to the Mad catz' site it's supposed to be a worn butterscotch but that's a little difficult to replicate in plastic.

PennyCentury · December 24th, 2009, 07:38 PM

And how many gameplayers do you suppose will cross over to the real thing, at least for next Christmas?

Jackson · December 24th, 2009, 07:48 PM

The future terrifies me, and I've got decades and decades to go.

Gareth John · December 24th, 2009, 07:50 PM

Fake guitars....Fake road worn fake guitars....This will blow the relic haters minds!

JohnnyCrash · December 24th, 2009, 08:25 PM

HAHAHA!

If I played that game more often, I would probably like a cool, tricked out controller... as it is I'm addicted to the Call of Duty franchise (Modern Warfare 2 is addicting when played online).

timmer · December 24th, 2009, 08:51 PM

I have an analog controller:

Made by Shiskov...

JCSouthpawtele · December 24th, 2009, 09:02 PM

I bet they already asked to make a sinature controller for the Metallica one. Imagine a black ESP for Kirk and an Explorer for James.

Wait until they come out with Country Cuitar Hero,then you all will want to have these controllers while you play along to Paisley,Urban and Mason

Jimo · December 25th, 2009, 12:44 AM

"Thats just good clean fun, right there"...........

Parma_TeleMon · December 25th, 2009, 10:35 AM

Got me laughing out loud at this one. And I'm with JohnnyCrash - if I played, I'd want a badass controller.

Controlo · December 25th, 2009, 01:34 PM

lolz!

this controller is delicious. i'd eventually install CTS pots, of course.

woodman · December 25th, 2009, 01:50 PM

i'd at least put some saddles on mine so i could argue about 6-piece vs. 3-piece ....

Post Toastie · December 25th, 2009, 02:18 PM

I'll take one of those over a Flying V anytime.

Oh, the same percentage that take up golf, tennis, car racing or drug-dealing based on their enjoyment of a video game.

johnnylaw · December 25th, 2009, 03:10 PM

Too bad we can't build 'em stateside and contribute to the economic recovery.

timmytVA · December 25th, 2009, 03:19 PM

This thread begs the obvious question ... is there a decent Tele style guitar controller compatible with Guitar Hero on the Wii?

Tim

RodeoTex · December 25th, 2009, 03:30 PM

I'm holding out for a maple board. There's no way that rosewood is going to sound like the real deal.

Amby · December 25th, 2009, 03:38 PM

000 gauge featherlite strings I suppose?

MondoGuitar · December 25th, 2009, 03:52 PM

Personally I love it. Guitar Hero made guitar chic again with mainstream, and that has been good for everyone -- the world needs MORE GUITAR. :)

Yeah, I had an old Briggs and Stratton 7.5 horse computer. It was a pull start if you can believe it, but man that thing had tone.

Yep, mine, too. But I got water in the gas once from condensation and it never sounded the same again...

I even changed the plugs over to Autolites and rebuilt the card, but the water just ruined the action.

And to add insult to injury, it has an 8-hole pickguard!

Controlo · December 27th, 2009, 01:40 PM

so i guess this thing definitely needs a 5-hole and a neck swap. i wonder how the spring on the bigsby is...

A Monster Cable spark plug wire would've straightened it out.
