Logitech Announces Premiere Edition of Wireless Guitar Controller for Guitar Hero

Logitech today announced the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller, Premiere Edition for PS2 and PS3 consoles. The premiere edition of the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller is the first in Logitech's planned line of premium peripherals for the world's best-selling music-based video game franchise. The guitar is licensed by Activision Publishing, Inc. for all Guitar Hero games, including Guitar Hero World Tour.

To provide even more realism for those who love to jam on Guitar Hero, the premiere edition of the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller uses the authentic materials you'd expect to see on a real rock guitar. In addition to the metal frets and metal tuning peg handles, the rosewood fingerboard and wood neck, Logitech's design offers the one-piece contoured shape preferred by many of the world's leading rock guitarists. To match the wood neck, the Wireless Guitar Controller features a crimson body.

To minimize button noise, Logitech uses rubber dome technology on the fret board controls, the same material used in its award-winning keyboards. The guitar controller 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.

Besides, the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller uses 2.4 GHz wireless technology to provide a range of up to 30 feet from the console. Just plug the USB receiver into the console and you're ready to rock. In addition, a gig bag protects your guitar when you're on the road and provides pocket space for your game discs and wireless receivers. The Wireless Guitar Controller requires two AA batteries to operate.

The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller, Premiere Edition is expected to be available in the U.S. in December for a suggested retail price of 249.99 USD.
