This is a guide for the DIY Modding Kit for Guitar Hero Controllers, available here:

I use the kit on a Kramer, but the process is very similar on other models. Please note that the Wii Les Paul and Xplorer require fret/neck modification to work properly.
Programming and configuration is made possible by the free and open source Santroller platform by Sanjay900; please sponsor or donate to Sanjay900 if you have the means, the entire plastic instrument modding scene would not be possible without his amazing software!
