Mod your Guitar Hero axe with LEDs

Sometimes, it's not enough to simply rock. Sometimes, you've got to get all glammed out -- with makeup, tiny replicas of Stonehenge, and an LED mod for your axe. Some clever folks (with what seems to be an unreasonable amount of spare time) have created a solution to at least one of those problems. Using custom molded buttons, a simple LED array, and the patience of Zen-master, these folks have imbued the normally just semi-spectacular Guitar Hero guitar with ultra-spectacular LED lights. Check the video after the break to see it in action, then it the read link and learn how to make the magic on your own.

I predict a 3rd party kit from china cropping up soon.

I was thinking I might make a PCB up and do it 'professionally' for myself.

almost everyone that reads engadget thinks LED's make things look better and totally agree

This would be so much cooler if the lights lined up with the ones you needed to play. Maybe for the PC version?
