Strummer Switches (GH3 & GH5 & Band Hero)
In response to your requests we are happy to now bring you our latest replacement Strummer Switches designed for the following guitars:
- Guitar Hero 3
- Guitar Hero Metallica
- Guitar Hero 5
- Band Hero
These hard to find push switches are simple to replace and will fix all strumming problems with your guitar, whether your guitar has stopped strumming completely (or in just one direction) or it is frequently missing notes that you know you have hit.
These switches install in exactly the same way as our Guitar Hero World Tour Strummer Switches which you can see in the tutorial video below.
The Guitar Hero guitars come with 2 of these switches installed, one for up-strumming, and one for down-strumming. If your guitar has stopped working in only one direction you will only require one switch to repair the fault but we offer excellent deals on buying 2 or more switches to allow you to change both switches at the same time with these high quality replacements. The repair can be performed by someone with little or no soldering experience in under 10 minutes, and will have you back up and rocking again before you know. Compatible with a wide range of guitars (Guitar Hero World Tour Strummer Switches can be found here), highly responsive and reliable, and simple to fit, these switches will keep you rocking for years!
We stock hundreds of these kits and they are available for instant dispatch. You can easily be up and running again the same day you receive the kit!
