Real Wood, Full-Size Guitar Controller for PlayStation Rock Band and Guitar Heroes
Not content with the plastic miniature guitar you’re forced to use when you pretend rock out? Well, if you’re a PS2 or 3 owner with an extra $180 lying around, you can pick up this new wooden guitar that works with Rock Band and all of the Guitar Hero games.
Dubbed the Starpex and created by Peak Products, this third-party peripheral is the first ever full-sized fake guitar for use with consoles. Somehow, that isn’t a huge surprise. Let’s take a look at the features in a nice bulleted format:
- Instrument-quality, high-gloss lacquered finish
- Hardwood body, neck, and headstock handcrafted by a leading guitar manufacturer
- Compatible with Guitar Hero/Rock Band games on PS2/PS3
- Star Power/Overdrive button provides the fastest most accurate access to improving your score
- Ten Fret Button Design features improved button feel, reduced fatigue, and option to play solo-style at the base of the neck
- Enhanced Strum Bar gives the perfect balance of tactile and audible feedback
- Connect wired for maximum scoring potential or wirelessly (2.4Ghz)
- Modular design allows users to separate electronic components from the body of the guitar allowing for further future customization including new guitar bodies, pick guards, and more
The guitar will be available this August via the Peak Products website and Circuit City.
