Just a few days ago we looked at a real guitar that can control Rock Band 3, but now Fender has announced that their Squire Stratocaster for Rock Band 3 will arrive on March 1st 2011 for $280.

That's a long time to wait for early RB3 adopters, but this is a real playable electric guitar, unlike the currently available button festooned Fender Mustang.

Pre-orders start January 1st, so start counting your pennies.
