The most frivolously awesome Guitar Hero III controller ever

ArtGuitars announces additional ꧅limited▨ edition GHIII axes made from real guitars

Just in case you weren't enticed by' Limited Edition KISS wireless Guitar Hero III controller, the c♛ompany has now revealed designs based upon two additional musical megaliths: head-b♛anging shred-masters Pantera and the ultimate Southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Granted, the new axes will run you around $399 apiece, but that's because the photo-quality images are chemically bonded to the wood - these 🌱aren't just vinyl stickers - and because we actually meant it when we said "wood" just now. These babies are made from actual guitars, so they have all the weight, feel, and dimension you'd expect.

Above: These are all the Skynyrd guitars. We've got the Pantera axes on the next page

We've actually played Guitar Hero III using prototypes of the ArtGuitars controllers, and it did feel good.but we will admit that theperformance and compatibility of final units is sti⛄ll uncertain - our prototypes didn't have final electronics installed, and while they worked fine with the 360 version of the game, 𒊎we're thinking the other versions might have trouble.

Why? Well, the official Wiicontroller has that space for the remote to fit into - don't see that replicated here (thankfully), the official PS3 controller isn't bluetooth, so the electronics might need to be swapped, and the PC version's official controller isn't wireless at all. Hopefully, ArtGuit💛ars wil♛l be able to come up with aftermarket dongles to address at least some of these things.

'Cause seriouslꦡy - how cool is it to play with a real guitar?

I was the founding Executive Editor/Editor in Chief here at GR, charged with making sure we published great stories every day without burning down the building or getting sued. Which isn't nearly as easy as you might imagine. I don't work for GR any longer, but I still come here - why wouldn't I? It's awesome. I'm a fairly average person who has nursed an above average love of video games since I first played Pong just over 30 years ago. I entered the games journalism world as a freelancer and have since been on staff at the magazines Next Generation and PSM before coming over to GamesRadar. Outside of gaming, I also love music (especially classic metal and hard rock), my lovely wife, my pet pig Bacon, Japanese monster movies, and my dented, now dearly departed '89 Ranger pickup truck. I pray sincerely. I cheer for the Bears, Bulls, and White Sox. And behind Tyler Nagata, I am probably the GR staffer least likely to get arrested... again.
