DIY Guitar Hero axe, oodles of assembly required

Dissatisfied with existing Guitar Hero mods (those ones that simply swap out the circuit boards from existing GH controllers), Instructables user teebee918 decided to build a high-quality face-melting axe from scratch, using two Playstation 1 controllers, and a whole laundry-list of Home Depot parts. We're going to preemptively avoid the utter embarrassment and personal injury, and not pretend like we could do this ourselves. Everyone else, feel free to ride the DIY wave.

That's repulsive, why do that? Most of the DIY mods I can understand, but I see no plus side to this one, other than its being just something to do.
I guess that is reason enough actually.

But does it play Doom?

Has anyone else seen the inside of a GH controller? The parts for the whammy bar are cheesy as hell.

I have seen the inside of a GH controller. It probably costs then 5 to 10 dollars to manufacture. All those parts are cheap as hell (cost wise, not quality).
I've been tempted to do my own guitar with a longer neck (so its more comfortable), but I know it would come out looking like ass.
