Of course, if you’ve got weeks to spend on the project, painting can be fun and rewarding. Most of the guitars we found had been pawned for at least $20, which meant that they wouldn’t let go of them for less than $40 - and everything we found in that price range needed some major paint work. We started out by looking around the local pawn shops, hoping to find a guitar that’d already had a good life on stage (or in somebody’s bedroom) and was ready for a change. Obviously you have a little more choice with the guitar. Remember that if you want to go wireless, you’re going to have to deal with batteries - which is easier said than done. If you don’t care to go wireless, you could save yourself a lot of hassle and expense by starting with a factory Red Octane GH controller. Note: Click on smaller photos for larger versions.

(Actually, if anyone out there has a Red Octane version and would be willing to crack it open and take a few pix to send them our way, we’ll post them here for everyone’s benefit.) Now the Red Octane version is readily available as well, so you have a choice. Selecting a controller is easy if you want a wireless controller at the time we started the project only one was available: the TAC controller. Whenever you’re selecting parts or laying out the guitar, keep in mind where all the components will fit and whether or not they’ll conflict with each other. The problem you’ll deal with over and over during this project is space or more importantly the lack thereof. In some ways it is, and in many ways it’s not. We saw those pictures, too, and it looked like a pretty straightforward task. You’ve probably seen some of the pictures of these floating around the ‘net as some people have already successfully built them.

Our goal here is to remove the functional components from a GH controller and install them into a real guitar. Task Overview/Selecting the Controller & Guitar It took us about 75 hours to complete ours, and though yours may move along more quickly (depending on the tools and experience at your command) this is still a pretty difficult task. There’s a lot of destruction involved and it takes a good bit of patience to cut and mangle these parts slowly - test fitting as you go - to make sure they’re all going to fit.
