GameStop Newsletter Reveals Rock Band Guitar

June 19, 2007 in News comments 1

This is pretty cool. GameStop's newsletter has revealed the new 10 button Stratocaster Rock Band guitar (see pictures below). The buttons have a much sleeker look, as does the guitar. No prices though.

We knew the Rock Band guitar was going to be based on the Fender Stratocaster and now, thanks to a GameStop newsletter, we get the clear internet-ready picture of what it'll actually look like. The ten button controller (you read that right, check out another pic after the break) has five frets at the top and another five frets of the same color below. Considering we haven't seen the in-game interface, we assume these are for the designated solo sections mentioned in the Game Informer info released last week. The button colors can not be seen from the front, but are viewable from the player's perspective when they're rocking out.

    Oh, sweet baby Jesus, it's finally come. This is by far the happiest moment in my past week. It's beautiful from the front, although you can see the colors stick out enough to annoy me, and when you look close, you can see the fakeness of current Guitar Hero controllers. But nonetheless, this is awesome. I like the ten fret idea seeing as most solos do take place down in that region and it becomes a little more intuitive and realistic, although possibly a little hard if you have to switch quickly. Still, highlight of my week.
