Fender, the name synonymous with rock 'n' roll, brings you the world's first electric guitar that is also an officially licensed Rock Band 3 video game controller. Blending state-of-the-art gaming and guitar technology with the authenticity of Fender design and engineering, the Squier by Fender Stratocaster Guitar and Controller is created for musicians and gamers alike and rocks both worlds—whether plugged into a guitar amp or into a video game console.
Enclosed tuning machines solidly anchor the strings at the headstock. Tuning the Squier by Fender Stratocaster Guitar and Controller isn’t strictly necessary for gameplay, although it is recommended. Tuning is necessary when playing it through an amplifier.
In addition to gameplay, what makes the Squier by Fender Stratocaster Guitar and Controller so revolutionary is that it's also a fully functional electric guitar that can be played on its own through any guitar amplifier using a standard guitar cable. So plug it in, turn it up and rock out.
In addition to Rock Band 3 gameplay and amplifier use, the Squier by Fender Stratocaster Guitar and Controller can be used as a MIDI controller for sequencers and recording software. The standard five-pin MIDI output jack on the edge of the lower bout on the treble string side provides easy connection to computers and compatible devices via MIDI interfaces.
Plug in to any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) like Ableton® Live which allows you to create, produce and perform your music using a single application.
Practice makes perfect! Extensive trainers in Rock Band 3 take you from rookie to real rocker by introducing skills, riffs and songs and letting you master them at your own pace. Learn through the fun of interactive game play, backed by a full band!
