Details of the guitars that will feature in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock:

Gibson: ES-335, Explorer, Firebird, SG, Les Paul, V-Factor, Super CES400, Marauder, Corvus

Kramer: 650, Vanguard

Bass Guitars: Marauder, Corvus,Les Paul, LP Double Cutaway, EDS 1275, ES335, Firebird, Flying V, Moderne, SG, X-Plorer

For this, Activision has signed an exclusive partnership with Gibson Guitars. Thus, these great looking and sounding guitars will definitely be seen in the forthcoming Guitar Hero game.

The forthcoming Guitar Hero III game is also expected to have wireless Gibson guitar controllers. This will surely make the game more realistic to play.

According to Henry Juszkiewicz, CEO of Gibson Guitar, “Our relationship with Activision began with the launch of Guitar Hero over two years ago. Since then the game has had phenomenal success and many other makers have tried to compete with its popularity.”

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is being developed by Neversoft. It is slated to be released for the PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox 36o consoles in late 2007, probably in time for the holiday season.
