Guitar Hero: Guitar Mod

 This is my first Instructable so please leave criticism or things I should change or do better on future Instructables. I have always wanted to make an Instructable after years of making other peoples and I always do so many projects but just never take any pictures. This time I was prepared with a camera so here we go. 

Have you ever been playing Guitar Hero on a huge note streak and had star power but didn't want to either tilt up your guitar or press the button because you would think you would mess up? Well i sure have. In this mod you will simply move the button into a more convenient place so that you will not mess up.

This Instructable will require a small knowledge of sautering and electronics. 

CAUTION!!!!!! Opening your Guitar Hero guitar WILL void the warranty. You may break your Guitar in the process of modding your controller so I am not responsible for you breaking your guitar. Do this project at your own risk.

Materials:
1 Guitar Hero controller from Guitar Hero World Tour( mines from the X-Box 360)
Wires
sauter
electrical tape
2 pushbutton switches( you can buy these easily from Radio-Shack)
Tools:
Knife ( or wire strippers)
Medium sized Phillips head screw driver
Very small kit of flathead screw drivers (this is for the star pin screws, or you could simply just use a star pin screw but i don't exactly know the right size)
Dremel
Sautering iron
Silver sharpie

And thats about it! lets get started!
(Also feel free to post pictures of your modded controller!)

Step 1 Opening up the Controller

 What were are going to do is open up the controller. Flip you controller over to find a lever that you can move. Move this lever and take off the neck of the guitar. When you have that off, put your fingers underneath the part where the neck is to pry off the faceplate( see picture for details). Once you have the faceplate off you will find some screws. There are 12 star pin screws use the tiny flathead screw driver to take off the star pin screws. Just take the screwdriver and place it in the star pin screw until it stays. Then just unscrew the star pin screws. If you seem to not be able to grip the star pin screws your screw driver is too tiny. If it doesn't fit then that means you have to just try to put it in or it is too big. I've mastered this ability from opening up many X-Box 360 controllers for various mods. It is all just practice so keep with it until you have all 12 out. Once you have all 12 out then move on to the 4 philips head screws on the top of the guitar near where the neck laid. Take these out and you should be able to pop off the back with your fingers. Look on the front of your guitar and see where the star power button lays and the start button lays. Then go back to the back of the guitar and unscrew the two phillips head screws that are there and slowly remove the star power button. BE CAREFUL BE CAREFUL BE CAREFUL! The star power button is connected to a circuit board so don't yank it out just flip it over so you can see it. There will be a rubber thing that pushes the buttons. You can throw away the plastic start buttons and star power buttons if you wish.
