To help users feel like a true Beatle, there will also be new gaming gear which replicates the band's instruments—Rickenbacker 325 and Gretsch Duo Jet guitars, Höfner bass (pictured left) and even a Ludwig-branded Rock Band 2 drum set with a vintage replica Beatles kick drum head. Screaming girls are sold separately. 
According to the game's creators, fans will go on an interactive, experiential journey through The Beatles career. Along the way, venues, set lists, clothing and instruments will replicate the band's rise to fame, represented in The Beatles' touring period from 1963 to1966 and their studio days from 1966 to 1969.
