And it’s all plastic and seemed basically impossible to tune.

The real for-real guitar that is going to work with Rock Band is basically just a Fender Squire Stratocaster with a midi processor. It’s going to cost about $280 (US), and is due out March 1. I think the only retailer that is going to be selling it is Best Buy, but I could be wrong about that.

Really cool though, turns it into real guitar lessons!

There’s another PS3 music game, whose name is escaping me right now, that uses a real guitar as well that I saw at Future Shop recently…

As a guitarist & sometimes-gamer, I hope things advance to the point where you can just plug in a regular guitar to play, and the game system would accurately track pitch & timing.
