Guitars revealed for The Beatles: Rock Band

Your IT - Entertainment

Hope those bowl shaped haircuts are coming along well, Harmonix has released images of new guitars designed for The Beatles: Rock Band

Here they are, the plastic guitars that teched up Beatles fans will be wielding when they get their hands on The Beatles: Rock Band later this year.

Featuring John Lennons’s signature Rickenbacker 325 guitar, as well as the Gretsch Duo Jet guitar as wielded by George Harrison.  These wireless guitar controllers will retail for US$99.99 each!

On September 9th, when the game launches, a premium bundle for US$250 – sold alongside these stand alone guitars - will include, as quoted by US based game retailer GameStop ".... the Limited Edition Premium Bundle will include The Beatles: Rock Band software; a Höfner Bass controller; The Beatles-inspired and Ludwig-branded Rock Band drums with classic pearl finish, a metal kick pedal and a vintage replica drumhead; plus a microphone with stand, as well as additional special content."

If you are a Beatles collector type, gathering everything that is on offer will be an expensive outing, almost cheaper to start your own [real] band.
