Yep, self-promoting asshole Gene Simmons recently sold out his name and image once again, this time to grace the plastic guitar you see above you. As always style over substance, the 80 dollar guitar is available for the Wii and PS2/PS3 and every music game that matters (yes, it’s even compatible with Rock Band 1 and 2) out there.

Humble as always, Simmons had this to say about his new product- “I never do anything half way. My AXE controller is the closest thing you can have to being onstage in KISS. I created and designed the Gene Simmons AXE™ bass guitar and I can’t wait for the fans to experience it for themselves,” said Gene Simmons. “The Gene Simmons AXE guitar is such a recognizable symbol – people have been asking for a gaming replica ever since Guitar Hero was first introduced.”

This is of course based on his real signature guitar.
