How to Customize a Guitar Hero III Guitar

Many rockers out there are wringing their hands in desperate anticipation of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Some already have their guitar controllers ready to go; still others have customized their guitars to set themselves apart from the rest of the rock stars. You can do it, too. Here's how to customize a Guitar Hero III guitar.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Give your new axe a custom paint job. If you have a friend in the auto body business, talk him into giving it a spray down in the color of your choice. Don't forget the clear coat. If you're going it alone, find some plastic-binding spray paint at the hardware store and get to work. Use plenty of painter's tape to seal off any areas you don't want painted.

2. Forget the stickers that come in the box. Make the controller your own by adding some favorite band stickers or verbiage stickers.

3. Make a custom skin for your pick guard using an exacto knife and white contact paper. Draw your own designs using colored pencils and markers. Add a layer of clear contact paper to the top to preserve the design.

4. Buy some iron on patches to adorn your guitar strap. Stores like Spencer's and Hot Topic offer a variety of band patches and movie patches.

5. Add some bling to your controller with some paste-on jewels. Nothing screams glam rock like a diamond-studded pick guard on a guitar.

Tips & Warnings

• Make your guitar controller unique by adding your own sense of style.

on 11/4/2008 Thanks for the tips but most of the kids laughed at me when i suggested these tips. I am a Flash actionscript programmer, and my son and others are talking about hacking into the systems and changes songs.

Thanks for the tips though
