Gitar of Fail
The Gitar of Fail is the custom painted Guitar Hero controller Chris used in the GameStop Be A Star Sweepstakes. He's showed it off in a number of his videos, and it's on the cover of his mocked-up copy of Christian Weston Chandler's Adult Chronicles. He appears to think that it counts as an actual instrument and gives him the skill to really play guitar.
Chris apparently owns at least two Guitar Hero controllers, because the shape of the body in the contest photo is different from the one in his DVD slideshow. (One of them is the Gibson SG-styled model sold with the first two Guitar Hero games, while the other is the Les Paul sold with Guitar Hero III.) He may have even owned a third controller at one point, another Guitar Hero III Les Paul, which he sold on eBay in September 2009. It's not clear why Chris would buy more than one controller, because he obviously has no friends to play with, but then common sense has never had much to do with his video game purchasing decisions.
Appearances
The Gitar appeared in the PS3 History Level video.
In Chris's music video for Ivy, he uses the Gitar extensively to rock out for her. In this video, it appears that Chris has further decorated the Gitar since he first introduced it in October 2008.
A lesser Gitar of Fail, a customized Rock Band Stratocaster known as "Meatwad's Shredwud," appeared in a video Chris recorded in October 2009. Chris hocked this guitar on eBay around the same time, effectively selling a product identical to another cartoonist's intellectual property.
Guitar Hero III version
Chris seems a bit bored here, doesn't he?
The funny thing is, there are no guitar solos in the song "Holding On For a Hero"... at all.
Not even guitar parts, I'm afraid.
Guitar Hero II version
Closeup of the body. Note how the paint looks like poster paint, since Chris's greasy hands would wipe off watercolor.
Neck of guitar controller. Notice Chris's pic of himself playing guitar is on his guitar on the body AND the fret board. Also, transformation sequence of Chris-chan Sonichu.
Head. Notice the Sonichu sticker.
