If you’re a Guitar Hero or Rock Band player, at some point you’ve been taunted to stop playing stupid games, pick up a real guitar and learn how to actually play. Well, Logitech has just released the most complex, realistic and expensive, custom Guitar Hero controller ever made, exclusively for the Playstation consoles. Given it’s $249.99 price point, maybe you should consider playing an actual instrument.

Still, if you’re looking to play GH while exhibiting the highest level of style possible, and if you don’t care what people think of that, then this is the gadget for you. You never know when a hot girl might come over and want to play with you. You only want to show her the best, right?

The guitar is licensed by Activision Publishing, Inc. for all Guitar Hero games, including the highly anticipated Guitar Hero World Tour. Featuring authentic materials – including a wood neck, a rosewood fingerboard and metal frets – the Wireless Guitar Controller is for gamers who truly want to flex their Star Power.

“There’s no better feeling than being the guy with the best instrument when you walk into your friend’s house to jam on Guitar Hero,” said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech’s director of product marketing for gaming. “We designed this guitar for that experience. From the humbucker to the metal frets, the whammy bar to the metal tuners, the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller gives you the credibility you rightfully deserve.”

To provide even more realism for those who love to jam on Guitar Hero, the premiere edition of the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller uses the authentic materials you’d expect to see on a real rock guitar. In addition to the metal frets and metal tuning peg handles, the rosewood fingerboard and wood neck, Logitech’s design offers the one-piece contoured shape preferred by many of the world’s leading rock guitarists. To match the wood neck, the Wireless Guitar Controller features a crimson body.

Actual wood and metal. This is no toy, and it’s hard to believe that anyone would buy this for their kids. This is some serious, “I’m 40 and I live at home with my parents and I’m obsessed with video games” type shit right here. Other features include the rubber dome technology to minimize button noise, a battery life spanning hundreds of hours, and the ability to keep women a safe distance at all times.

Listen, we’re not saying that playing GH or Rock Band is geeky. But spending more on your GH controller than you did on your PS3 is. Don’t even try to deny it, herb.
