In another demonstration of Humanity’s relentless quest for fun, a guy has installed a touchscreen on a Guitar Hero guitar as well as a magnetic switch that allows him to play it with a magnetic pic. Pointless? Actually, not. Cyberpyrot told us that it “plays much better than before.” And while it may not be as cool-looking as the Angel Sword Guitar [digga: which is the fucking shit btw], it sure looks cool in the dark. Video, pics, details and his plans for version 2.0 after the jump…

I wonder how this man found the time to take away from his busy irc chat moderation schedule to put this all together. And when the hell did he find the hours in the day to crawl out of his fortress of solitude [his parents basement] to find a friend who would actually tape this thing.

What is the point of having a screen on the Guitar Hero controller if you are still going to look at the goddamned screen while you play. Granted the guitar pic option is kinda nice. It sure beats the shit out of that little light switch they have on those things now.

Sir, when you lose your virginity to something other than a doll or a computer monitor, please tape that. I will jump out of my wheelchair and scream shazamm for you.

Post edit: Yes, I understand that it is cool and hip and neat-o that he put a screen in there. I would do it myself if I had the time, but alas I do not. I just don’t see the functionality of it. Now that pic’ing thing…
