Recently, I posted a pic of that sweet Guitar Hero controller being raffled off at tonight's Funde Razor in Brooklyn and there were a lot of questions.

Fortunately, one of the two guys who created the controller wrote to answer them and to send us a link to a How-To which includes more than 110 photos.

First his answers to our many questions:

Having built the controller in the picture (along with Sean), I can answer a couple of questions:

diablodevil2: Yep, the tilt sensor's inside.

DirtyDebutant: It's wireless, so no cable needed!

D.Lo: I play the bass, so I don't care to learn to play the guitar. I make booty move, not get drunk and pass out on the stage. (kidding) GH is cool 'cause it teaches rhythm even if players never touch a real guitar. And who doesn't want to rock out?

namae: Gibson = $300 - $1000, Squire Bullet = $99. (And we couldn't find something cooler at the pawn shop — and didn't have time to paint it anyway — so it's brand new.)

protozoider: Send some money to Child's Play directly, then check out the exhaustive how-to we posted on Toolmonger and build your own. http://toolmonger.com/2006/12/05/how-to-build-your-own-custom-full-sized-wireless-guitar-hero-controller/

NYLatenite: They've got a couple of others, too, and I think at least one of them will end up on eBay for the charity as well. Check out the link in the post for more info, or contact Joel.

Steveisaduche: alienhead_69 is right. I felt bad until we pulled it apart — then I felt fine. It's a Bullet. You have to *step up* to a Squire. It's made of freakin' plywood, it has *no* RF shielding, etc. You can see it in the how-to. Believe you me, if you're a guitar player, you wouldn't feel bad.

Enjoy, and be sure to check out the event tonight.
