If you are both the leader singer of a
successful rock band and a hardcore video game fanatic at the same time, how can you possibly combine your two loves?
Most people simply create or cover video game music, but not Robin Wilson. As the lead singer of Gin Blossoms ("Hey
Jealousy," among many others) and a contributing writer to the Official PlayStation Magazine, Wilson had a
crazy idea to combine a Fender Stratocaster and a Nintendo 64 controller. The result is pictured, partially, to the
right: dubbed the StratGame 64, this 10ft guitar
model is on display to benefit Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Central Arizona and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Education Fund.
So, the only question remains is, can you play Ocarina of Time with it? Robin Wilson, we salute you. You can
check out more of Wilson's hijinx, and see some more pictures of the StratGame 64, at his 1up blog
