The Beatles: Rock Band Guitars Announced


Published By: Morgan Bates   On: Wednesday 6 May 2009 2:00 PM



Harmonix has announced some stylish new guitar controllers for the upcoming Beatles: Rock Band. The Rickenbacker 325 and Gretsch Duo Jet were used by Beatles guitarists John Lennon and George Harrison and these shiny new controllers will make you feel that much more ‘Beatle-like’ when blasting out those rock n’ roll classics - in front of your pets.

Both guitars should be out by the time Beatles: Rock Band hits store shelves in New Zealand.

So, will you rock out to the Beatles when Rockband: Beatles hits our shores?

I think what's interesting is the fact it's a Beatles game, and this MAY attract a whole new audience to Rockband. This move is very Nintendo Wiish of EA.

Ive yet to pick up a second guitar for RB2 yet so will pick up the rickenbacker as it seems any RB2 hardware wont be released down under in the near future.

And of course it will be a purchase, just like i did with RB ACDC i will import the songs then get a large percentage of my expenditure back via trademe.

What about Pauls Höfner 500/1 Bass ???

You can get Simmons bass so why not Pauls ?

Man I have 4 plastic guitars already and I am definitely picking up George Harrison's Gretsch. It looks delicious.
