GIBSON SG CONTROLLER SKIN

Ok so I was getting bored with my Gibson SG controller so I asked my friends and Bladerunner Graphics to help out. These guys really rock! Using their new 6-colour solvent printer and laminator they made an awesome looking cherry wood guitar controller skin. The laminate is really shiny and looks like a gloss coat over the top of the print. I love it and will be sending them a few differnet designs so that I can keep Rocking on. Check out the pics I took...

Does anyone else want a guitar skin like mine? If Bladerunner Graphics can get enough interest then they will make a heap to get the cost down. Probably best to contact them yourselves as I'm too busy playing Guitar Hero 1, 2, 3 & 80s. Show your interest by contacting Bladerunner Graphics now! Go to www.bladerunnergraphics.com

GIBSON SG CONTROLLER

The controller used in Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II is a replica 3/4 scale of a Gibson SG guitar.

From Left to Right comparison - Gibson SG aka Solid Guitar, Guitar Hero Controller Black, Guitar Hero II Controller Red.

The guitar controller includes five colored 'fret buttons' on it's neck (green, red, yellow, blue, and orange), a 'strum bar' and a 'whammy bar'. Each song's notes are displayed on a set of five columns that scroll down towards the player. The five columns correspond to the five coloured fret buttons.

ORIGIN OF THE GIBSON SG

In 1961, the Gibson Les Paul standard was given a new style that included a thinner body and sharp pointed double cutaway horns that made it more accessible for players to reach the higher frets. Its main design idea was to compete with the Fender Stratocaster. The newly designed Les Paul was so popular, Gibson renamed it the "SG" (meaning "solid guitar" according to Gibson).The SG is one of Gibson's best selling electric guitars to date, and is recognized by many famous bands and artists.
