Guitar Hero gets branded up

Activision has announced a whole slew of brands will be supporting the upcoming Guitar Hero: World Tour, from amps right on down to guitar strings. It's nothing new to us, considering the company did the same thing for previous Guitar Hero games, but the list for World Tour is kind of massive. It goes:

Ampeg
Audio-Technica
EMG Pickups
Ernie Ball
Evans Drumheads
Guitar Center
Krank Amplification
Mackie
Marshall
Orange County Drum & Percussion
Pork Pie Percussion
Regal Tip
Sabian cymbals
Vox
Zildjian drumsticks

Of course, with Rock Band tapping Fender for their guitar needs, and Gibson suing everyone on the planet, we wonder why Activision hasn't found another suitable Guitar manufacturer to feature in their game. May we suggest Ibanez? They make some nice guitars!

Well, all of my guitars are Ibanez. I like their acoustics and their electrics sound good, plus they're affordable. I never could afford to spend like a thousand bucks for a guitar.
