Background

The Guitar Hero Xplorer controller is a fan-favorite classic that debuted with Guitar Hero II on the Xbox 360, becoming one of the first widely loved wired-style guitars (via USB).

With its lightweight design, responsive fret buttons, and iconic white body, the Xplorer quickly earned a reputation for reliability and comfort during long play sessions.

It also helped introduce many players to the franchise on next-gen consoles. Simple, durable, and endlessly moddable, the Xplorer remains a go-to choice for both casual players and serious score-chasers.
