Like many others, Eric Ruckman found that the DS controller add-on for Guitar Hero: On Tour left a bit to be desired but, unlike most folks, he didn't just go back to playing on his console of choice -- he actually went all out and pieced together a full-size rig out of a PS2 Guitar Hero controller. As you can see above, that includes a special housing for the DS itself (it's still used for strumming), and even a built-in FM transmitter with its own screen, which lets him pump the audio through his home sound system.

I have been one to spend entirely too much time playing Guitar Hero. I wasted spent enough time and energy to master Freebird on Hard, which was the precise moment that I decided to sell my Xbox 360 and focus on real guitar and real heroism. The progress isn't coming along as fast as I'd expected, but what can you do? If you can become a Guitar Hero in one fell swoop, that means you are a jack of all trades. And a master of none. Mastery takes true grit and determination. God, I can't wait for those 360 price cuts to come down the pipe.
