Custom Guitar Controllers From BlackStarDesigns

Author: Rees | Date: June 4, 2008

Totally awesome hand-painted guitar

Judging by the popularity of our post about Rock Band instrument skins, there’s a prettty big market out there for personalised musical-themed game controllers. So I was impressed when I discovered an Etsy seller known as BlackStarDesigns, who will paint up your Guitar Hero or Rock Band controller with a totally awesome design (like the one pictured above) for just $30. They’ll paint anything you like on your little plastic axe, and have done everything from video game art to sports team logos.

Shame we’re not in the US, or us here at TTB would probably all be rockin’ out with custom Team Teabag guitars some time pretty soon. I guess we’ll have to settle for our other excellent merchandise for now.

Nice shameless plug there! I have to say it was a good one, I wasn’t expecting one there until I read it?

Wow! I had been wondering why we’d been getting so many hits on our Custom Guitars, and finally decided to do a google search on it. Thanks so much for writing a feature on our custom controllers, we’re really psyched about it! And we’ve also added international shipping on now.
