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!
