Amazon has opened preorders for CRKD's next Gibson Guitar Controller. The Gibson SG 20th Anniversary Edition retails for $135 and is slated to launch December 19. Notably, this is the first wireless guitar controller in CRKD's catalog licensed by PlayStation. The Gibson SG syncs wirelessly to PS5, PS4, PS3, and PC via a 2.4GHz dongle. The multiplatform version of CRKD's Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controller is limited to a wired connection on PS5 and PS4, so the Gibson SG is likely the better option for Fortnite Festival and Rock Band 4 players on PlayStation.
PS5 players now have two officially licensed wireless guitar controllers to choose from. The other is the PDP Riffmaster, which is still on sale for its $110 (was $150) Black Friday price.
The Gibson SG's $135 price point matches the Les Paul Blueberry Burst Pro that's officially licensed by Microsoft for Xbox consoles. The Black Tribal Encore Edition is $125 for Xbox and has membrane fret buttons instead of mechanical switches. The multiplatform versions of the Les Paul are $10 cheaper than the Xbox models. It's worth noting that the Blueberry Burst Pro Editions have strum bars with haptic feedback. Last month, CRKD released a Les Paul Cherry Sunburst Pro Collector's Bundle for $200. This multiplatform model comes with a guitar backpack, a leather strap, pins, and stickers.
The Gibson SG has confirmed wireless and wired compatibility with Fortnite Festival and Rock Band 4 on PS5 and PS4. It also works wirelessly on PC with Fortnite Festival, Clone Hero, YARG, and Guitar Hero III. Legacy Mode for PS3 supports all of the platform's Guitar Hero and Rock Band games as well as Band Hero.
We've listed all of CRKD's Gibson Guitar Controllers below along with platform compatibility for each edition.
As mentioned, the PDP Riffmaster for PS5 and PS4 is discounted to $110 (was $150) at Amazon. The officially licensed Xbox edition is also on sale for $109. PDP launched a Nintendo Switch 1/2 version of the Riffmaster last month, but it's currently selling for its full $150 MSRP.
