They looked capable of unleashing a dangerous electric current. Red Octane has a licensing deal with Gibson where Gibson has to sign off on any hardware RO designs. I don't have details, but that may be one reason they haven't released any new GH controller models. The margins on the hardware itself aren't great either. RO and Harmonix had no idea the game was going to be so successful. I saw these things in Kentia Hall last month. They looked capable of unleashing a dangerous electric current.

Of course, that still doesn't explain why they haven't released other Gibson models (like the ones in the game, for instance). Don’t they have an exclusive deal with Gibson?

Great point though. Why hasn't Red Octane contracted with various guitar makers to put out different body styles? They can't cost that much to make. “YOU HAVE UNLEASHED THE F&(KIN’ FURY!”
