Pro Face-Off |
Pro Face-Off is a new multiplayer game mode alongside Cooperative where two players compete for the highest score with the same full chart, whereas in regular Face-Off—that's available from the start—players have their own "incomplete" chart, swapping between riffs/sections with the other player. However, unlike Cooperative and Face-Off, Pro Face-Off is not unlocked from the start.
Pro Face-Off is unlocked by completing Career mode on Medium difficulty or higher.

Kramer Vanguard | $700 | A heavy metal landmark, Kramer's V-shaped guitar was favored by velocity hounds from its introduction, thanks to super-hot pickups and a fast, low-action neck. | |
|
|

|
|
Gibson Melody Maker | $700 | Double-cutaway Melody Makers were originally offered as entry-level guitars, but with the passage of time and association with certain... (ahem) "runaway" success stories, '60s Melody Makers have become highly sought-after. | |
|
|
Gibson Sonex 180 | $550 | Launched in 1980, the Sonex's Multi-phonic body was composed of a hybrid material designated "Resonwood" (wood core, resin outer layer) and the guitar featured many characteristics of the Les Paul, but at a more affordable price. | |
|
|
Gibson Marauder | $550 | Gibson's mid-'70s "budget" solid body offering, the Marauder was an amalgam of design elements, boasting a "Les Paul-ish" alder body, a V-series headstock, and featuring both a humbucker and single coil pickup. | |

|
|
Ice Blue Finish Gibson Firebird | $250 | The Firebird's unusual body shape has been termed "reverse," due to the treble-side's horn being higher and more pronounced than the other - a profile unique to this guitar and the Explorer, from which the Firebird was derived. | |
