I want a Fender.

I think the new guitar sucks.
But why are they all white but the one right not ?

I don't hope the black one is for the PS3.
Would be really crap if Sony gets there own one. -.-

€dit:
Could it be that they are all for Wii !?

(because there's one with the Wiimote and one with wiimote LEDs. Oo"

So I need to use a crowbar to remove the Wii-mote from the guitar then?

The guitars will also have removeable faceplaces so you can customise them.

Anyone know what the buttons near the bottom of the neck are for?


It's not going to be a patch on Rock Band (Thread Plug) but GHIII should tide me over till Rock Band gets a Wii release.

It probably has a hole in the back so you can push it out with your finger.
