Mad Catz Rock Band Wireless Fender Stratocaster

The Mad Catz Rock Band Wireless Fender Stratocaster is a 1:1 replica Stratocaster guitar designed for use with the Xbox 360 games Rock Band, Rock Band 2, Beatles Rock Band, and Guitar Hero 4 & 5. The body, neck, and headstock are in fact constructed from actual Stratocaster wooden blanks, adding tremendously to the unit’s authenticity. Included also are Tuning Keys and a Bridge both constructed from genuine metal parts and fillings. As for connectivity, the Fender Stratocaster relies on the same wireless components utilized in the original Xbox 360 controllers — meaning it requires neither a dongle nor adapter to operate. Overall, the Stratocaster wasn’t built like a flimsy toy and it certainly isn’t meant to be used as one either.
