I took the pic from www.guitarhero.com and enhanced it in photoshop so you can see the features better. You can clearly see that there are 5 new fret buttons higher up the neck. Also, notice the strange metallic bar next to the wammy. It also seems that there are two hooks for the guitar strap on both sides...weird.

Discuss?

The reason for the two hooks is presumably so left-handed players can use the strap as it was supposed to be used as well as those right-handed.

So if they add new "Features" to the GH4 Guitar, does that mean the old guitar won't be compatible?

Can't be sure, but I doubt it. Chances are, the old controllers will work with the new game, but the new controller will just be more accommodating all around - for GH4 and the previous games.

Yeah, in my GameInformer magazine they had a cover story on GH4 and they said the old controller will work, but you wont be able to use the new feature.

1. If those higher fret buttons are used for custom solos, thats one more thing GH coppied from RB.
2. I reckon the shiny thing will be decoration only
3. The 2 strap hooks are so you can lefty flip the guitar. GHIII's Les Paul had 2 hooks too (one was behind the neck)

as long as they make the guitar compatible w/ rock band then i'm good w/ it cuz i honestly prefer the guitar hero guitars alot more than i do the rock band ones. the rock band ones just seem too flimsy and the buttons and strum bar just don' seem right to me all so i just don't use the rock band one really

This series jumped the shark with #3, for me. I didn't like 3 as much as 2 and have almost no interest in 4 at this point.

I definitely won't buy it if it requires a new guitar.

That's Neversoft for you. They're just trying to milk this series dry. As for the new controller, I'm probably just going to use my old Les Paul.
