Logitech introduces the king of all plastic guitars

There are some people out there who live for Guitar Hero. Where some of us are happy being able to go through all the songs on medium difficulty, the truly dedicated make it a personal mission to play every song blindfolded while spinning in circles.

Alright, maybe that was a bit dramatic but it’s safe to say the standard guitars that come with the games aren’t enough to satisfy everyone’s inner rock star. Logitech has announced the upcoming release of a new wireless guitar designed for the Playstation 3 version of Guitar Hero 3 and World Tour that is also compatible with the PS2 version of World Tour. The Wireless Guitar Controller Premier Edition goes on sale December 2008 for $250.

The design of this controller sounds almost like a real guitar. The neck is made of wood, the fingerboard is made of rosewood, and we even get metal frets and tuning pegs.

The guts of the guitar contains a 2.4GHZ transmitter that gives us a range of about 30 feet of rocking distance on two AA batteries. Logitech says those two batteries will provide hundreds of hours of playtime.

A gig bag is thrown into the deal to shield this guitar from its low brow cousins. It’s all very pricey considering World Tour costs $189 on PS3 for the complete bundle. If you want to be the cool person with the most expensive fake instrument, this guitar is meant for you.
