![]() I initially used velcro on the strum mod, but I found that was WAYYY too thick and screwed up my playing. I’d say this is the most effective of the three mods in terms of impact on actual playing. It’s still not as nice as the ultra-flat low profile Les Paul buttons (by far my favorite feature of that guitar), but the buttons respond noticeably better this way, and they’re more friendly to sliding. I used a fairly thick cardboard stock behind my buttons, so maybe that’s why. The fret button cardboard mod is surprisingly effective, much more so than I would have predicted. Doing something about that gets it much closer to the nice, smooth response of the SGs (and pretty much every other good plastic guitar). The whammy bar is stupidly stiff on the stock Xplorer. I also used a bit of silicone lube spray around the strum pivots. I found it all fairly self explanatory once I opened the Xplorer up. Imagine a rubber band there instead.)Īll three of these are pretty easy to do- all you need is a small torx wrench. (a spring is shown here, but you get the idea. replace the stiff whammy spring with a rubber band. (it is possible to de-clickify the strum buttons inside the guitar, if you want it even quieter, but it’s fiddly)ģ. Put a bit of rubber behind the strum to make it a bit quieter. Add cardboard behind the fret buttons so they respond quicker.Ģ. There are three common-ish Xplorer mods that I tried:ġ. So… given that I got another unwanted Xplorer with my purchase of the PC version of GH3, I wondered… can I make it suck less? It’s not going away any time soon, as much as we wish it would. ![]() It’s still available as a wired bundle guitar for GH3, and as the pack-in for the PC and Mac versions of GH3. ![]() It’s widely considered one of the worst guitars for the game, which is unfortunate, as it was the pack-in guitar for the very popular Xbox 360 version of GH2. The Guitar Hero Xplorer guitar gets no respect.
