New Guitar Hero 3 guitar skins look like guitars

by JC Fletcher { Sep 26th 2007 at 2:15PM }

After we said, uh, things about some of HeroGear's Wii Guitar Hero controller skins, we weren't sure we wanted to open the email we received from them. But rather than scream at us, they took the high road and sent us some more images of new controller skins. They did an even better job of shutting us up than any threat would have; the skins look great and entirely guitar-like!

Red Burst up there looks like something we'd expect to see on a fancy PRS guitar, for example. The rest of them are all delightfully classic, with the exception of Diamond Plate, which is totally metal. Jem from HeroGear promises that their full line of "50+ designs" will be available for the Wii guitar soon after launch. So if you want to put a thin, clingy sheet of stuff over your controller, this is an option. It'll look cooler than Saran Wrap, anyway.

You take that back JC. Nothing's better than saran wrap. Except duct tape but that goes without saying.

Anyone interested in high-end carbon fiber faceplates? I bought the domain guitarherofaceplates.com with the intention of creating some really cool faceplates, but because they're carbon fiber,they won't be cheap. I haven't been able to get any advance specs on the way they attach to the guitar, so I'm not entirely sure it's do-able yet.

If you're not sure what a carbon fiber faceplate might look like, here are some examples of carbon-fiber guitars... compositeacoustics.com/photos.html

If there's interest, let me know and I'll pursue it with a bit more vigor. :)

Now, you see, GH3 would've been a perfect time to try and get some Black Label Society up in the game. I would looove to play if Zakk was up in the game, and if I could get a Bullseye, BLS logo, or Buzzsaw skin (like his own custom Les Pauls).

They had a song in the first Guitar Hero. And Zakk Wylde's bullseye guitar.

This is really sweet. Have you guys heard the playable Guitar Hero 3 song list. I just listened to all of the confirmed songs, including the 11 that were just announced.

I guess my link didn't work. The playable GH3 song list is at http://www.guitarherosoundtracks.com

Does anyone know if they will be coming out with solo guitars that do not come with the game? And if they did where can i find them I have looked with no luck. Might just buy the whole bundle again just to get another guitar. Anything will help. Thanks
