Perhaps the joystick is identifying its number of axes / buttons
incorrectly, so that SDL gets confused when it receives too much info?
That's best guess off the top of my head.

Try finding a non-SDL event utility and monitor the events that the
guitar is sending, and then go into pygame and inspect the values for
the # of axes/buttons that it claims are defined, and see if those
values match up.

Also, did you google using ps3 controller w/ SDL? this might already
have been discussed.

Either way, let us know how it turns out.
