Logitech's upmarket guitar controller for Guitar Hero should arrive in Australia next month.

The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller for PS3 and PS2 features a wooden neck and body with a rosewood fingerboard and metal frets for a more authentic feel.

"Everything about the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller is premium – from the authentic wood material and flawless black finish, to the noise-dampening design of the strum bar and buttons, to the authentic accents provided by the metal frets," said Nick Angelucci, Logitech Australia's product and marketing manager.

The wireless range is said to be 10 metres, and Logitech claims a battery life of "hundreds of hours".

Licensed by Activision, the Logitech guitar controller should go on sale in Australia in June for $A399.95.

At that price, you've got to be serious about your gaming.
