|  "Rock band" Guitar revealed!
 
Pretty snazzy if I do say so myself. Quote:
With Harmonix ready to strike up the Rock Band later this year, the first pictures of the game's Fender-licensed guitar peripheral have arrived, courtesy of retailer GameStop. In a mass-e-mailed newsletter this morning, GameStop linked customers to two images of the new Rock Band guitar.
The new guitar features 10 fret buttons, as opposed to the standard Guitar Hero controller's five. However, the set of buttons down near the base of the guitar neck may be redundant, as they are labeled with the same five colors in the same order as the buttons at the top of the neck. A similar arrangement was used by The Ant Commandos for its Guitar Hero-compatible Double Range Freedom V guitar. (The descending order of green, red, yellow, blue, and orange in the Rock Band guitar is identical to that used in controllers for Harmonix's original axe-centric series, Guitar Hero.)
Currently GameStop is accepting Rock Band preorders with an expected shipping date of November 20. While the retailer still offers the game and its individual peripherals separately, it has also added listings for a Rock Band bundle, which would include the game, the wireless guitar, drums, and a microphone. The bundle is currently going for $199.99 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The $200 price point for an all-in-one Rock Band bundle was previously floated in a focus group where, among other things, participants were told a Wii edition of the game was in development.
GameStop has also changed its estimated prices for a few of the game's peripherals. The Xbox 360 and PS3 microphones are currently being offered for $29.99, down from $39.99. Meanwhile, the PS3 wireless guitar controller is listed at $59.99, down $20 from $79.99. As of press time, the Xbox 360 wireless guitar is still listed at $79.99, although there is a note assuring customers that if the price drops before the product releases, they will only be charged for the lower price.

The buttons near the neck of the guitar are easier for solos since they are closer together...so if ur pressing yellow then blue then orange in a pattern over and over again like some of the solos in free bird it is slightly or possibly more easier than playing solos on the original guitar hero 1 and 2 guitar.
| Quote from user "Rajeev1" that explained why they have 2 sets of buttons, he seems to be right.
Discuss.

The bundle is way too expensive for me. But the controller looks really sick man. (Saw it on Xbox Domain) | |

Yep, I saw this at 1uP earlier today. I'm not getting this either, it looks cool, but then again I would rather spend my money on other stuff. I think I would get tired of that game after a while anyways.

I might just buy everything separate if I can, just to cut the costs a little bit, or buy them in sections as needed, its so hard to say
