There must be some kind of way out of here.

Guitar Hero 2 for the Xbox 360 comes with a nice enough guitar controller, but I must say, sterile white doesn't exactly scream "rockin'" to me. So, I picked up a few cans of spray paint, some stencil materials, an x-acto knife, painter's tape, masking paper, and a few paint pens, and did the only thing a geek would do: gave my Xbox axe a custom paint job. After a few dozen coats of paint and several days of work, I present to you my very own custom Trogdor Gibson X-plorer guitar (click for larger version):

Detailed instructions on how I did it coming soon...

And the Trogdor comes in the niiiiiiiiiight!

That's just awesome, mind if I submit it to Digg?

Thank you. By all means, submit away. This weekend I added Del.icio.us and Digg buttons at the bottom of the posts for easy access.

What wonderful DIY geekdom! You did a beautiful job!

Thank ya sir. The handprint in the one photo bugs me--I wiped it down but apparently the flash brought it out. Shows the gloss of the finish though.

In all fairness, a good pal of mine worked with me on this, so it wasn't a one-man job. He had experimented with his a week or so earlier and figured out the ins and outs, so we had a good idea of what to expect when we worked on mine.

Guitar Hero... DIY... Trogdor... If I wasn't already hitched I would immediately fly out to OH and marry you.

I am pretty awesome. Maybe I should turn this into a dating site. "Single Geek Looking For Guitar Hero Bassist".
