Title: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller? Post by: Surlyboi on January 26, 2008, 05:20:59 AM Peavey wants to sell you real wood (http://www.peavey.com/controller/)
These things apparently started out as package deals where you had to buy two controllers and a copy of the game as well. Now you can get the controls separately. Only catch, as far as I can tell, they only make them PS2 compatible at the moment. Probably nothing a little cable splicing wouldn't fix, but if you're gonna pay 400 bones for a controller, you shouldn't have to. Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller?

Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller? Post by: bhodi on January 26, 2008, 07:27:13 AM I can get a real fucking guitar for less than that.
Those prices are, iiinnnsaaaaneeeee! Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller? Post by: schild on January 26, 2008, 08:57:37 AM If it had a hot plug and worked with every version of the game AND Rock Band. I would buy one.

Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller? Post by: Signe on January 26, 2008, 04:23:11 PM I kind of like the first one. Way too much KISS and Skynryd. Yuk.
I don't know what I'm doing in this thread. I don't belong here. Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller? Post by: stray on January 26, 2008, 06:39:03 PM Yeah all of those suck. As does Kiss.
Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller? Post by: Azazel on January 26, 2008, 09:38:18 PM I did wonder why they have, like, 75 different skins for Kiss and Skynnard. Even though I'm no huge Pantera fan, it struck me as odd their only having one skin in comparison.

Also, guitars are heavy and easy to bang up while sitting on any type of chair with arms. Do people usually stand while playing this? Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller?

Do people usually stand while playing this? Which part baffles you? As for playing, I sometimes stand, and sometimes sit on the edge of the couch. Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller? Post by: Big Gulp on January 27, 2008, 07:03:54 AM Yeah all of those suck. As does Kiss. What's wrong with a simple finish and none of the faggy decals? I want my guitar to look like something Muddy Waters would play, not something a 14 year old would think looked cool. Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller? Post by: Signe on January 27, 2008, 07:44:09 AM I would assume that most people would stand bounce around a lot because they are pretending to be rock stars, right?

Post by: Selby on January 27, 2008, 10:57:20 AM Some of us play our plastic guitars in the stance we were taught for classical guitar with precision and posture, but not all guitars support that playstyle...
Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller? Post by: stray on January 27, 2008, 07:43:49 PM I play an offset. They were partly designed to have sitting in mind. Plus, they look so much cooler than everything else (Jags, JM's, Gibson Firebirds, etc).

I always knew you were a proper little soldier! Title: Re: Tired of the little, plastic guitar hero controller? Post by: Sky on January 28, 2008, 11:12:25 AM I played standing with a foot on the coffee table like I was rocking a monitor.
Too bad the Pantera guitars aren't Deans. Wtf. |
