I 3d printed something similar to this a few years back, ended up using the same kailh choc switches. I only did the frets though, and hardwired it because the connector on my guitar was problematic.
If it's not in the guitar hero or rockband setlist, then individual people have to make them. Most likely your favorite songs haven't been made unless they're popular.
@@TheScrubmuffin69NOT true. The more popular songs actually don’t have as much charted for them cuz they tend to be boring. The sad reality is that CH was made at the brink of GH dying off for good, and to give the remaining player base hope to stick around, the players took it into their own hands to code a new game. They thought that making a better engine with custom songs would keep the insane cracked out players around, and they were right. There’s far far more challenging customs than the hardest stuff offered in all of GH base games, and all of the pros were sick of the base game setlists, GH customs, and RBN didn’t offer enough growth in gaining new skills cuz the engine is soooo limited. Basically now with social medias like tik tok and RUclips shorts bringing guitar hero back to light, old players who played more casually back in the day r coming back and just wanna play to rock out and listen to the music, but that’s just not what clone hero is. It’s a sweatfest, button smashing, sliding, dopamine overload game and I personally love every single bit of it LOL
This is awesome to restore my old guitars. I'm sick of buying 'fixed' guitars that just die after 3 songs because of temporary fixes. The guy that I bought them from actually asked if I was still interested in more "because it seems like I collect them" The amount of rage I had to bottle up there was insurmountable. lol
Nope! This is essentially "gutting" the guitar to make it a USB controller. You can however set the output type to "PS3" in the software to get it to work with PS3/4/5!
@@retrocultmods Appreciate the info! I was curious while watching this whether or not I'd be able to do this to my X-Plorer for the 360 and still play the original game on my console. Keep up the content!
No.... I just wish I had someone competent enough to fix my current guitar hero equipment. Or and the very least, start third party producing this equipment so I can continue to play on my PS3. I would pay someone really good money for that to happen.
Question is, how similar are 3rd party controllers? Got a ps3 clone coming and your xbox/ps les paul solderless kit ordered and hopefully will be shipped soon. 1 thing im worried about is the differences on the internals. Granted im not worried about the boards being soldered properly cause they will be gutted for your kit to replace it. But what about stand offs and screw hole placements. My biggest question on this matter, is do these 3rd party controller makers just flat out copy official guitars and roll with it? Cause if so, im good. If not, then i honestly dont know.
Is it compatible with Rock Band controllers? I hate the feel of my rock band controller. (Actually have always hated the feel of Rock Band controllers) And I wanna mod it to be mechanical and better.
or you can just use wiitar thing with ur wii guitar and a wii remote and have a clone hero controller for free as long as you had the previous things functioning
Glad you're enjoying the adapter! It will fix overstrum since it replaces the original switches (assuming the replacement switches aren't defective). As for sticky buttons, it make sure the frets and fret slots are clean before installing, then there should be no issues! Note that the start/SEL buttons are kept stock, so if those are sticking, I'd clean those as well!
Unfortunately that's not a simple yes or no question and depends entirely on the controller in question. Here is a spreadsheet with compatibility info: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1hN8L1HQZzSX9K1Rp9XdpNMvC0hoEwHA05EkU1ySLFLw/htmlview?pli=1#gid=0
If it is a GH5 guitar, I've got a new product called the ZeroBoard that has inputs for that! Sold out of my first batch, so I've got more on the way! I'm also doing an updated design of the strumboard to include more inputs.
@@retrocultmods i just want to add tilt and restore the touchpad because why not? I have wireless sunburst for x360. I change the brain of it and I am trying to have a change.
@@Yomamura29 So that one probably won't be compatible, as the board would only work with the digital touchbar of the GH5 controller. Check to see if your tap bar has 3 wires going to the main strumboard or 4!
It replaces the stock internals with fresh new ones to breathe new life into your guitar controller! It also gives you mechanical frets, which feel much better to play on than stock silicone frets!
If there's remaining corrosion you can clean it with white vinegar and something abrasive like a fiberglass pen. I'd recommend rinsing with isopropyl alcohol after that. Once it's clean you just need it to make contact with the battery properly. If there's a piece missing leaving a gap and preventing contact with the battery, you could pretty much jam anything metal of the right size in there, including a folded up square of aluminum foil, and that should allow it to power on then.
Does this work to make a wireless guitar into a wired?, i have a few ps2 controllers that are really comfortable to use, but i want to make em wired vut I don't know it that's even possible
can you make a wireless guitar wired? I have a GH5 guitar laying around but I cant use it cause its a wireless and the wireless transmitter broke and I lost it
All of my kits convert the guitar into a wired one; if you order the DIY kit, you will need soldering equipment and supplies. The Solderless Kit only requires the correct screwdriver and wire strippers!
would the controller work properly with guitar freaks arcade data, because this could be a way cheaper option than having to go out and spend a load on a gitaller
I haven't tested it with that specifically, but if that can work with XInput or HID controllers, it should work so long as you are able to map controls manually!
@@retrocultmods I know the frets and the strum bar should be fine, it’s the tilt sensor, since tilting is way more important in the gitadora/guitar freaks than in gh/ch
I know this is old but I just came across it, if I wanted to add buttons closer together on the bottom end of the fret board kind of like the rockband guitars could I do that to a regular guitar hero guitar?
Brooo, help me. I want to build an Arduino mech frets Guitar sooo i really need the PCB?? I mean, i was planning to use the Arduino with xbox output so i can use it in official pc games.
Yep, I actually sell the fret and strum PCBs separately currently on my site: shop.retrocultmods.com/products/universal-strumboard-v1-by-retrocultmods Currently don't sell the switches separately, but I have a big shipment of them coming in soon and I might be able to accommodate that!

btw you forgot to pin the comment
@@pizzastock111 Woops thanks!
Bro how can I contact you for an especific model ?
Will this mod work on fender strato model? Ty
Does this work for World Tour guitars?
I just fixed this problem inside the computer by mapping, i ran into this video because im looking to mod the entire thing 💪
Nah I'll just buy one lol. But godspeed to the ones out there doing stuff like this, we need more of you
You’re amazing 😭 I’ve had clone hero downloaded on my pc for a long time and now I’ll finally be able to use it thanks to your shop
I still use my 360 xplorer it has low latency and plugs straight in.
Thats good enough for most people
Xplorers are definitely the best for clone hero. Although I play both clone hero and the wii games so a wiitar is good enough for me
So glad I got a Kramer to mod eventually 🤘
i just orderd one of these and its on the way. Acai gave me the link to your website so hopefully some of your viewers can go to his twitch channel and show him some love
Thanks for your order! Definitely, Acai has been letting people know about my stuff for a while and I greatly appreciate him!
I 3d printed something similar to this a few years back, ended up using the same kailh choc switches.

How about a video for good clone hero songs??
Songs you like?
@@flamingbacon2214 I like multiple songs and could find no maps for them, or theres one map and its terrible..

Chon has good songs. Protest the hero has good ones.

The amount of rage I had to bottle up there was insurmountable. lol
I really wanna do this with a World Tour guitar but not sure if it will work the same.
I think in the tutorial video he uses the mod on a world tour guitar, so you're good, it even works with the ps2 sg.
I just use one I ripped off the machine, sure half its features don't work and it doesn't read half my inputs, but that's alright
I just use an Xbox wireless adapter, and a rockband controller, the fender Stratocaster
Are you still able to use the guitar on its native console after you do the mod?
Nope! This is essentially "gutting" the guitar to make it a USB controller.
You can however set the output type to "PS3" in the software to get it to work with PS3/4/5!
@@retrocultmods Appreciate the info! I was curious while watching this whether or not I'd be able to do this to my X-Plorer for the 360 and still play the original game on my console. Keep up the content!
@@JoshuaVrana Thanks! Yeah using this kit would allow it to work on PC, Mac, PS3/4/5, and modified X360's, but not stock ones!
yes, for 360 if you have a modded console you can install a patch that allows any controller, then set the controller to xinput in guitar configurator
If you can "bind" it to work with the PS3/4/5, what about the PS2? Can it run on the USB port also or an adapter
No....
I just wish I had someone competent enough to fix my current guitar hero equipment. Or and the very least, start third party producing this equipment so I can continue to play on my PS3.

Support for Rock Band guitars?
or you can just use wiitar thing with ur wii guitar and a wii remote and have a clone hero controller for free as long as you had the previous things functioning
That's true! But lots of people don't have Wii remotes, and some don't want to deal with batteries!
I cant find a guitar hero guitar for 360 what so ever.. 😢
Does this fix overstrum and sticky buttons : ps thank you for the adapter just came in the mail and I love it
Glad you're enjoying the adapter! It will fix overstrum since it replaces the original switches (assuming the replacement switches aren't defective).
As for sticky buttons, it make sure the frets and fret slots are clean before installing, then there should be no issues! Note that the start/SEL buttons are kept stock, so if those are sticking, I'd clean those as well!
Are you still able to just use a normal Guitar Hero controller to play Clone Hero or no?
Unfortunately that's not a simple yes or no question and depends entirely on the controller in question.
Here is a spreadsheet with compatibility info:

Nope, none of my kits currently work with any RB guitars.
Any chances of making something for the sixth button
Can you still star power kick it over? Does the whammy work?
Thanks Joe! (Rogan)
Does this word for both the wired and wireless SG octane guitars
Can I repurpose my touchbar with your kit? I just want the full functionality of my guitar.
If it is a GH5 guitar, I've got a new product called the ZeroBoard that has inputs for that! Sold out of my first batch, so I've got more on the way!

@@retrocultmods I have 3 wires going through my touchbar. Ground, data and VCC.
@@Yomamura29 Ah, that looks like an analog touchbar, and unfortunately wouldn't be supported currently!
What does modding do to your guitar?
It replaces the stock internals with fresh new ones to breathe new life into your guitar controller! It also gives you mechanical frets, which feel much better to play on than stock silicone frets!
can we use it on a rockband guitar?
Unfortunately not!
Does anyone know how to fix a broken or rusted off battery prong in a wireless guitar hero controller

And what about 6fret...😢
Will you ever sell guitars?
Stay tuned!
could a mod like this save my xplorer which has super bad overstrumming issues

Does your mods work with rock band Wii guitars?
They do not unfortunately!

you screwed the fretboard in the wrong way in the video
Nope, that was the correct orientation.
can you make a wireless guitar wired? I have a GH5 guitar laying around but I cant use it cause its a wireless and the wireless transmitter broke and I lost it
That's exactly what the kit does, and guitar controllers with missing or broken dongles are the perfect candidates for mods!
Howcome you dont sell kits that are already soldered?
I do! I have Solderless Kits that come with all the soldering done for you!
@@retrocultmods with the solderless kit do you have to use the RGB?
does it work for the X-plorer controller from GH2?
Do i have to do this mod cant i use my wii guitar factory with ssid adapter and just remap it?
Could i still use it to play regular guitar hero on console?
Could I buy a guitar that’s doesn’t work and swap out it’s bad and not working parts with these and it works? It should right?
Yep, you can totally do that! I recommend finding a Kramer without a dongle online, as they often sell for cheap and are the easiest model to mod!
Does the rebuild kit come with everything to make it a wired guitar?
All of my kits convert the guitar into a wired one; if you order the DIY kit, you will need soldering equipment and supplies. The Solderless Kit only requires the correct screwdriver and wire strippers!

@@windowsxpnt2347 Ah I see, the tilt sensors are digital inputs just like the strum and frets, so it should be mappable as well!
I know this is old but I just came across it, if I wanted to add buttons closer together on the bottom end of the fret board kind of like the rockband guitars could I do that to a regular guitar hero guitar?
ik this is and old comment but you probably could by paralel wiring each button having the switch to activate it individually
Can you make me a left handed edition?
The current kit works for lefties! Only thing you'd have to change is the position of the tilt sensors!
Don't you use flux to desolder?
Yep! It's used both for soldering and desolder, as it oxidizes a layer of the solder and makes it flow more uniformly!
@@retrocultmods but flux oxidizes overtime, are you supposed to rub it off with ipa?
