Guitar Hero World Tour Guitar Hands-on

I was quite stoked when I finally opened my Guitar Hero World Tour Guitar Bundle. Finally, I’ll be able to play guitars again after my Rock Band guitar conked out. I have to say that Activision did a relatively good job with the new Guitar Hero Guitar. The guitar feels sturdier and looks very “adult”. You won’t feel like an idiot if you’re seen playing this baby. The face plate of the guitar is interchangeable so those who want a snazzier guitar can actually buy new faceplates for it.
