New Guitar Hero guitar controllers ... Made For Girls?

Gothic Girl | September 26, 2008 | News | Playstation 2 Playstation 3

Pop duo Aly & AJ think that the current Guitar Hero/Rock Band guitar controllers are too male-oriented. So they created their own guitars to appeal to female gamers ...

When most people think of gamers, they think of guys. While that is fairly accurate, many girls also enjoy playing video games. One the most popular genres with the ladies are music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. The plain and masculine guitar controllers typically available with the games can be a problem for the ladies. Thankfully girly controllers are available in the aftermarket.

The controllers were designed with cooperation from teen rock star’s Aly & AJ. The guitar designed by Aly features a heart and cross bone print in pink and brown.

I'm impressed. I feel bad by saying I love the heart design and would buy it.

But yeah, nice to see girls trying doing their own thing in the video game world.

_{Misleading title considering I thought it meant all guitar controllers were for girls.}

  Haha, yeah, I don't think any of their songs are quick enough to be a good song in guitar hero....at least I hope not.
  
  The heart shaped one looks decent, but the other one looks like it is made for maybe six to seven year old girls from looking at the scaled down pic. I'd just stick with the Les Paul anyday tbh.

Are they ergonomically better suited for women or are they just all girlified? I can't really tell from the article.

  From what I can figure, they're just girlified.

They are only girlfied. They ok the one on the rihgt is the one i like the best. The heart shaped one iss eh. But their songs are really slow paced and ould mak horriable GH songs.
