The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller, Premiere Edition

I am waiting for this and counting days !

"October 24, 2008

In news for lounge-room Rock Gods, Logitech has announced the Wireless Guitar Controller Premiere Edition for the PS3 and PS2. The premiere edition of the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller is the first in Logitech’s planned line of premium peripherals for the Guitar Hero franchise. Officially licensed by Activision, the guitar is compatible for all Guitar Hero games, including the highly anticipated Guitar Hero World Tour. It features a wood neck, rosewood fingerboard and metal frets and tuning peg handles to provide that little bit of extra realism for belting out your favorite tunes.

The controller uses rubber dome technology on the fret board controls, the same material used in its keyboards, to minimize button noise. It also incorporates a New Touch-Sensitive Neck Slider, located so strumming is not always necessary to rack up the points. Additionally, the Neck Slider can be used in Guitar Hero World Tour’s new Music Studio to create an even wider away of sounds. It uses 2.4 GHz wireless technology to provide a range of up to 30 feet from the console and comes with a gig bag to protect the guitar when touring and provides pocket space for game discs and wireless receivers. Logitech claims the guitar’s two AA batteries provide hundreds of hours of battery life.

The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller, Premiere Edition is expected to be available in the U.S. in December, but with a suggested retail price of USD$249.99 we don’t suggest any Pete Townshend-inspired guitar smashing antics."

Wireless Guitar Controller for PS3 and PS2: Logitech’s Guitar Hero Guitar is Back in Black!

Today, we’re very excited to announce the new black Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller for PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment systems. Back in October, I blogged about our first guitar controller, the red Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller Premiere Edition for the PS3 platform. In addition to the new black finish, the guitar we announced today incorporates a few minor construction updates based on the feedback we received from players over the last few months. It still feels great in the hands and balances comfortably on its strap, and the buttons and strum bar are as quiet and responsive as the original Premier Edition. So for those of you who did not manage to get your hands on the Premier Edition, this new guitar controller gives you a chance to find out what all the fuss is about. The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller for PLAYSTATION3 and PlayStation2 is expected to be available in the U.S. later this month and in Europe beginning in June.

On a related note, as a keen guitar player myself, I have been very pleased to read about how Guitar Hero is being cited as the inspiration for more people to start learning to play guitars and other musical instruments, and even causing a boost in guitar sales!

Watch this space for more news on Logitech’s guitar controller lineup in the near future!
