Guitar Hero: World Tour Gamers Can Now Be Sponsored by Vox, Zildjian, Ernie Ball and Others

Activision means business when it comes to Guitar Hero: World Tour – so much so that they are cranking it to 11 by featuring several of the most influential instrument and equipment brands in the music industry.

Now, gamers can score in-game sponsorships and gear from 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 and Zildjian drumsticks.

In addition to featuring products, the game lets virtual bands play on the same stage as many of their favorite musicians with digital re-creations of Amoeba Music and Live Nation’s House of Blues Sunset Strip for an even higher level of “realism”.

No specifics where given in the press release about how you can be sponsored by these labels, therefore I am assuming it flashes across the screen after you ace a particular gig, just like in the previous installments. Too bad most people who play these games will have no idea who their sponsors are, but hopefully that will be remedied later on down the road.
