How to Take Apart a Guitar Hero Guitar for Wii

Guitar Hero is a music rhythm-based game in which you take the role of the lead guitar player in your own band, playing some of the most popular rock music of all-time. The game is played with a guitar-like controller that allows you to strum like a real guitar. Like any video game controller, prolonged use can lead to malfunction. If you need to fix your guitar, you will need to take it apart to get to the inner circuitry.

Long Torx T10 screwdriver
Small Phillips screwdriver
Small knife

  Turn the guitar over. Flip the guitar neck lock to the unlocked position and remove the neck from the guitar. Slide the faceplate lock to the unlocked position and remove the guitar faceplate.
