Guitar Hero LED Mod

Step 10 Pack it all back in and play!

Put all the pieces back in their places, screw in the neck piece, and play. You'll want to hold off on putting the back of the body back on since odds are good that you'll be tweaking this setup a couple dozen times before you're happy with it.

When it all comes together, fire up some Guitar Hero 1, 2, or 3 (screw that 80s edition) and play!

Thanks to Matt for all the work and photos and Adam for the Guitar Hero playing.

you could search for the power pins on the connector between the guitar and the play-station and used them instead of the battery but be sure to use resistor(s) because the console gives any controller it uses 5volts.

GENIUS :D

why did you use WHITE leds man, it would be so much better if youused color coordinating leds.i also dont understand yu had to make molds, you could drill a smaller hole and have he led shinethru the plastic. il make an instructable for a WII guitar soon

[ZeroXL91]

White ones of the same kind are eaiser to calculate the required resistor

[whitish]

you could use the stock buttons but frosted and clear looks so much cooler.

[mikeisawesome]

u cant make them clear really

[Slagr]

strong enough LEDs would probably shine through, but it would be significantly inferior to the molding method.

Screw you 80s rocks Whatever cool mod anyway

[Kaitlinthegreat]

Exactly,80s is my favorite. THREE sucks But it is a cool mod,anyways,it would be a bit easier if you added a materials list at the beginning,otherwise it's a tad confusing.

[Slagr]

all you need is: copper tape wire 5 LEDs (white) soldering capabilities molded buttons the touch the power

[rickkix]

Yeah, I'm definitley doing this. I also agree with Caitlin. You should probably put in a material page, it would be much easier. It would also be better if you could make up a video on how to do it, thanks! Also, where could I find on of those black guitars? They are less expensive... where did you get your's?

[Slagr]

you'll have to get a used guitar if you want that model. redoctane.com had these guitars for $5 until about a month ago, but you could keep an eye on the site if they come back. You could probably get a used one for ~$10 from a gaming store.

Im deffinatly going to do this. wonderful job i like the black finish on yours...what type of paint did you use? and out of curiosity do think it would be possible to mold a black strum bar

[Trogador]

Krylon Fusion Paint You can read about all kinds of stuff like this on Scorehero

[Slagr]

actually, SH links here-- at least for this mod.

[djspinny999]

Yer Wel The SG Guitar Wasnt custom Modded Yuu Can buy Them The Exact Colour lol

[MatrixEagle15]

probobly, just take it apart and make a mold, then add black to the mold

[Slagr]

or save a lot of money, time, effort and failure and just paint it.

[superdude4635]
