Basically, I cracked open a Guitar Hero controller and wondered what I could fit inside. It seemed light so I figured there was lots of room. Sure enough, there was plenty. Originally I planned to put an iPod Shuffle in the neck of the guitar and route a small speaker inside so I could rock out where ever I was, but I ended up just putting in an AUX cord.

Remove all screws...
Use a Torq screwdriver to remove all the black screws holding the top and bottom part of the guitar in place.

Could you do something that plays the guitar hero song through the guitar so that it actually feels like you are playing it?

Buy an FM transmitter and wire it to your TV (or console's audio out), then put a speaker in the guitar along with a small radio.

I would have cut off the second usb from the amp, and solder the wires to the controller ports.

The "What looks like a modem" is a networking port which was brought in to allow the connectivity of a wah-wah pedal to the guitar. Never really took off.
