For those of you that feel your inner Hendrix, honed religiously on Guitar Hero, is ready for the next step, then you might just want to buy a new car. Huh?
Volkswagen thinks that free guitars are going to help shift its new 2007 line-up. Buy a Jetta, Jetta GLI, GTI, Rabbit, Beetle and Beetle Convertible and you'll get a customised First Act GarageMaster electric guitar that can be played through the car’s existing audio system - not recommended while driving. And trust me, this guitar has been customised.
The First Act GarageMaster electric guitar is a work of customized pop culture art and will undoubtedly become a coveted piece of Volkswagen’s music-rich history. Each electric guitar will display the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the owner’s Volkswagen vehicle and will also have custom colored pick guards complementing the exterior of the car. The guitar will feature the traditional Volkswagen logo and "V Dub" inlay, a guitar strap made of safety belts, VW knobs, a prominent blue indicator light that matches the trademark instrument panel lighting of Volkswagen vehicles, VW logo guitar picks and a carrying case to take the music anywhere.
Prepare for lots of TV ads with axe-men Slash and Nigel Tufnell (the character from This is Spinal Tap) supporting the campaign although I fully expect to see many of these of guitars ending up in the garage (unused) or on Ebay by the end of January 2007. -Martin Lynch
