I was coming here to mention ESP as well. They wouldn't even have to invent ANY special guitars considering all the ridiculous custom stuff ESP has to offer.

IBANEZ

The Mazda of guitars: Western styled, fake Western-sounding name, made cheaply in Japan.

ESP would be ideal. Just slap an ESP sticker on all the Gibson guitars Guitar Hero has used up to this point.

Definaly Ibanez!!!
A replica RG2228 with a neck so wide nobody can get their fingers around it

Or possibly a full sized replica Dean Razorback would look pretty class...

Ibanez rocks. My 1984 Roadstar II is solid and sounds fantastic, carried me through several gigs back in university.

Mazda rocks too. Wouldn't want to trade my 6 hatch for anything!

I'm torn between buying either the rock band or guitar hero drum.

I can't speak for GHIV and Rock Band 2, but with the previous games, the Guitar Hero instruments have been far higher quality, even though I prefer Rock Band as an actual game. People who were at Liepzig seem to be saying the same thing for the sequels.

I prefer Guitar Hero's buttons (on the old PS2 SG's) and Rock Band's strum bar :P

As for the drums, you can plug cymbals into the RB2 drums, but the GH:WT ones seem higher quality.

My vote goes to Dean Guitars. Works well since they also own ddrums.

I didn't realize that people cared so much about which brands of instruments were featured in rhythm games.

The title should be "Guitar Hero World Tours features even more in-game advertising."
Is there going to be a 5 Gum guitar and drum set?

Umm... I personally believe that no music company that serious about music should EVER endorse a music game. Think about it... At the price of these bundles, guitar companies (and drums etc.) are actually losing money that someone might've spend on you know... A real guitar.
Mabye the companies are forseeing a sad future where nobody has anymore creativity and everyone sits around playing the last 100 years of written material on clacky plastic instruments, and bragging about it.

Well, there's also Rickenbacker - and they have a few good "guitar heroes" (*rimshot*) who play their guitars as well. According to Wikipedia, notable "Ric" players include(d):

"Normal" Guitar:
* The Edge
* Jimi Hendrix (which would fit with Jimi's presence in Guitar Hero World Tour)
* George Harrison
* John Lennon
* Pete Townshend

Bass Guitar:
* Paul McCartney (That's right - every member of the Beatles who played a guitar, played a Rickenbacker)
* Lemmy
* Adam Clayton (of U2)
* Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd)
* Greg Lake (of King Crimson and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer)
* Flea

Please tell me you are not serious. Evans Drumheads is what I use!
I think this sort of advertisement is good because it is relevant to the game. For those who have never picked up an instrument and get the urge to do so because of games like GH they don't have to go far to look up manufacturers of guitars or drumheads.
