  • Gibson Sues Guitar Hero...

    Apparently, according to a patent, they planned to get into the video game market in 1999, licensed their brand for the Guitar Hero game, and now is filing suit against the publisher of the game...

        ...because the plastic controllers are better made than their guitars?

          Reuters also noted that even were the patent upheld, Gibson's three-year dalliance has granted Activision an implied license for the use of the technology

                  Fender got their logo on the Rock Band controller. I thought that was strange when Gibson's more distinctive shapes were being used for GH and no Gibson logo there.
                  please don't put it into words, 'cause I fear what you're thinking

                    So the next game controller will be a PRS singlecut?

                      Hopefuly it'll be a Jackson.

                      I was looking at the Rock Band box at WalMart last night (the big one that comes with everything) and on the back the guitarist is using a Kelly, and you can see the Jackson logo. I thought that was sweeeeeet :grin:

                      Too bad it's a Strat in the box, though. Maybe I'll get it and dress it up like a PC-1
                      I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

                      The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

                        The in game customizations are actually pretty cool... I've got a Joe Satriani looking character with a trans-green JS series Warrior.

                          My friend's kid got Guitar Hero 3 for his Wii for Christmas and the controller has a Gibson logo on it.
