How to Change the Button Colors for the Guitar Hero Controller.

Well, att first I wanted to change the colors of the buttons on the controller around to confuse my friends, and I didn't know how. Then this is how this instructable was made. I decided to make my controller buttons rainbow colored. This instructable will in no way damage the guitar, it just changes the colors up. The buttons will not change the game either, all the buttons will stay the same. (Green, red, yellow, blue, orange.)

Items needed: Screwdriver.
Common sense. Don't be an idiot and break your controller.
Eggs.
Milk.
Wait, don't get those last 2 items.. wrong list.

LET'S START.

Opening the Guitar.

Unscrew the back of the controller.

Then after you unscrew it, go on to the next step.

Unscrewing the Guitar Neck.

Unscrew the guitar's neck, and make sure the back is off. There should be 5 screws I think, I'm just too lazy to go check. It's either 4,5, or 6. Or maybe 7. YOU'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO, JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES!! =)

Unscrew the Button Board.

Okay, now. Here is the button board, it should say A,B,C,D,E. Unscrew the 2 screws on the side.

Now, re-arrange the button colors in any way you like. I made mine rainbow colored. This is cool, and you can trick your friends! Note: The button color changes made will not effect gameplay, it just makes the controller look cooler.

Finishing Up.

Now, screw the button board back on, screw the neck back on, and then screw the back of the guitar back on.

Finished!

Now, you're done! This is my first instructable, and I hope you guys enjoyed it! Have fun tricking your friends with the button changes! Also, in the pictures, my controller's white pick guard is off, I will be giving it a little paint job. If you want to know how, just hang on, another instructable is coming soon!
