This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Wii Guitar Hero Sunburst Guitar
This Sunburst guitar for Nintendo Wii is a Guitar Hero controller with five coloured fret buttons, a strum bar and a whammy bar. The photograph also shows the neck touch strip and the Wii Remote recess. Hold a fret button and move the strum bar when the corresponding note reaches the screen marker. The instrument produces no amplified guitar sound itself: the music and scoring come from the game on Wii.
The Wii version uses a Wii Remote inside the body. Pair it with the console first and connect the internal plug to the remote's extension socket. The Wii Remote provides the wireless link and still needs its batteries. This is not a universal USB guitar or a six-button Guitar Hero Live controller. The touch strip is used only when supported by the selected game. Ordinary fret buttons and the strum bar remain the basic controls.
You receive the pictured used guitar. A Wii Remote, batteries, console, strap and games are not automatically included. The Sunburst finish and visible version define this offer; no unseen model code or complete original band bundle is promised. Each musician needs their own required controller for multiplayer. The examples below concern the Wii editions and their guitar parts. This guitar replaces neither microphone nor drums and does not restore discontinued online matches or download stores.
History
Guitar Hero turned guitar parts into a rhythm game with coloured notes scrolling down a track. Five fret buttons and a strum bar translate that display into actions for both hands. The series began before Wii; Guitar Hero III brought this format to Nintendo's console in 2007. Its Wii Remote was placed inside the guitar. This distinguished the connection from guitar controllers for other consoles with their own links.
World Tour expanded the series in 2008 with full band parts for guitar, bass, drums and vocals. This generation added a touch strip beside the normal fret buttons. The pictured Sunburst version follows that design, with a separate Wii Remote compartment. It was an instrument controller for predefined game parts, not a real electric guitar. The added strip mainly changed how certain note passages could be played in supporting games.
Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero continued shared play with different instrument roles in 2009. Warriors of Rock then refocused on rock music and a story campaign. The established five-button controls remained recognisable even when new controllers received different bodies. For this used guitar we therefore describe the visible design and Wii connection. This is no blanket promise for all music games, modern platforms or Guitar Hero Live's different controller.
Five Wii Music Games
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock combines fret presses and strums for guitar parts. Work on chords, fast sequences and sustained notes as difficulty rises. The Wii edition uses the five-button guitar format; a later touch strip is unnecessary for ordinary parts. Scoring follows your timing on the note track. This example concerns the Wii disc and promises no present-day online matches or new downloads.
Guitar Hero: World Tour places the guitar in a larger band setup. Play guitar or bass while others join with their own drums or microphone. Each part needs its own input; this single guitar does not also handle drums and vocals. The touch strip can be used for passages designed for it. Solo players can still follow guitar parts and try to maintain unbroken note streaks.
Guitar Hero 5 offers more freedom in band composition. Several players can choose the same role if each has a suitable controller. Party Play allows joining or leaving during play. With this guitar the task remains hitting coloured notes in rhythm. The Wii disc has its own song selection; old promises about store extras or online features are not part of this instrument's offer.
Band Hero uses familiar guitar controls with a selection focused more on pop and group music-making. Follow the note track with frets and strum bar or form a full band with others. Vocals and drums need their own accessories. The songs are not stored inside the guitar: separate Wii software is required. Original DS linking features do not make this guitar a Nintendo DS controller.
Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock builds a campaign around guitar parts with characters who become rock warriors. Play songs and challenges to progress using familiar fret presses and strums. The story structure differs from simply selecting individual songs in sequence. Use the Wii version and the correct controller for each participant. Special DS or band features need additional devices, not supplied by this loose guitar.
