First look at the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock guitars

The next installment in the Guitar Hero series finally has a complete name. It will be known as Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. They have also given us some pictures of the guitars we’ll be using to rock out. All guitars in the game will be Gibson, as they have signed an exclusive deal with them. That’s actually pretty cool, because Gibson makes some great guitars.

Each system will have its own unique wireless controller, though all three of the next-gen consoles will have a variant of the Les Paul. The guitar for the Wii appears to have a complete Wiimote installed in it. No word on whether it is built-in, or if you simply insert your own. The PS2 variant will include a classic Kramer.
