As you may know, right now you can only get the Guitar Hero 3 instrument peripheral by purchasing the game with the guitar. But MCV got the story on when we can expect the sales of individual guitars for Guitar Hero 3…

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov 26, 2007: Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATVI) today announced that standalone wireless guitar controllers for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will be available at retail stores nationwide by early 2008. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock lets fans thrash and burn with new wireless guitar controllers available for each platform, including exclusive Gibson Guitar’s Les Paul model for the Xbox 360 TM video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Wii TM home video game system from Nintendo, and PLAYSTATION ® 3 computer entertainment system. PlayStation ® 2 gamers will also get to shred on an exclusive shape, Gibson’s Kramer guitar, popularized by hard rockers and known for its body design, pickups, electronics and construction for furious finger fretting.

It’s nice to see how Activision is really giving deep input and thought into this franchise, in the way that they cater to their fans. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for Guitar Hero 4!
