Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

Rock Band 3's Fender Stratocaster Finally Dated And Priced

Posted on Wednesday, November 3 @ 10:08:51 Eastern by Nicholas Tan

The true Pro Guitar will be available the beginning of March 2011 and will cost a pretty penny... a lot of them.

The Squier by Fender Stratocaster Guitar, the world's first electric guitar compatible with Rock Band 3, will cost $279.99. Pre-orders begin on January 1st, 2011 and the guitar will arrive on March 1st, 2011.

As a full-size electric guitar, The Squier with "a wood body, 22-fret maple neck, steel strings, enclosed tuners, an adjustable bridge, and custom bridge pickup". The fingerboard has position-sensing technology to give you immediate feedback on where your fingers are in the game.

And of course, just to reiterate, you can plug the Squier into an amp and actually play the darn thing like a real instrument, or use it as a MIDI controller for your future rock band album. Hey, The Butt-Licked Chickens will make it one day.

As an instrument, that's a very reasonable price. A normal Fender Strat isn't all that much cheaper and this one has a lot of technology packed into it. Will probably buy one if I ever decide to pick up playing guitar again.

Yeah, I agree. Price wise, that's very reasonable for an Electric Guitar.

If you're seriously interested in playing guitar but only have the motivation to rock out in Rock Band, this is a pretty legit start. I have to give them credit. It's pretty awesome that they have made such a step to connect learning real instruments to video games.
