MadCatz is coming out with a MIDI controller so that you can use your MIDI instruments that you already have with the game. http

Not sure about the pricing yet, all i have heard is that "It's going to be competitive to real intro guitars" I wouldn't be surprised if it was around $50 more then a reg. fender squire strat. It's not just a toy or controller, it's a real instrument. Ive never paid less then $99 for a real guitar
