Logitech have really pulled one out of the bag with this awesome new wireless Guitar Hero controller. To date the only other company that have produced a realistic guitar controller are Starpex and they will certainly have the work cut out trying to compete with this realistic, wooden controller. The Premiere Edition Wireless Guitar is licenced by Guitar Hero publisher Activision and the controller has a wooden neck, a rosewood fingerboard and metal frets and tuners. The Integrated 2.4GHz wireless also gives it a 30ft range.

The controller is on sale in the US at around $250 and in the UK from £129.99. To get you salivating we thought you would enjoy these hi res photos of the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller Premiere Edition.

Sadly, despite the success of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, we will not be seeing Led Zeppelin's iconic songs in either game any time soon, according to the Wall Street Journal. The band, specifically Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, is not comfortable giving gaming companies access to the group's master recordings which is a necessary step in adding the band. No surprise there as Led Zeppelin have been typically elusive when it comes to access to their songs. You only have to look at the lengths Jack Black had to go to secure the Immigrant Song in School of Rock.
