    Young Chiam is at it again. His new product, the Axe Guitar for Playstation looks just like his real axe bass and even has Gene’s face and autograph printed on the front. Double sets of buttons encourage schlepping all over the freboard and it is wireless and USB ready. Best of all it has a durable strum bar because if you don’t have a strum bar what do you have? Bupkus.

    AXE Overview:

    The Gene Simmons AXE is a fully equipped, axe-shaped guitar controller compatible with PlayStation®  2 and 3 Guitar Hero™ and Rock Band™.  A replica of the KISS bassist and vocalist’s signature bass guitar, the Gene Simmons AXE guitar controller is a three-quarter sized replica of the original AXE guitar and slightly larger than the standard video game guitar controllers.
