Gibson SG Wireless Guitar Controller for PS5 Set to Release This Month

Preorders are now live for CRKD’s latest Gibson Guitar Controller, the Gibson SG 20th Anniversary Edition, priced at $135 and set to release on December 19. This marks CRKD’s first wireless guitar controller licensed for PlayStation, allowing it to connect seamlessly to PS5, PS4, PS3, and PC using a 2.4GHz dongle. Unlike the wired-only multiplatform version of the Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controller for PS5 and PS4, the Gibson SG is a prime choice for players diving into Fortnite Festival and Rock Band 4 on PlayStation. PS5 users now have two officially licensed wireless guitar controllers available, the other being the PDP Riffmaster, which is currently discounted to $110 from its original $150 Black Friday price.

The Gibson SG’s $135 price aligns with the Les Paul Blueberry Burst Pro, which is officially licensed for Xbox consoles. The Black Tribal Encore Edition is available for $125 and features membrane fret buttons instead of mechanical switches. Notably, the multiplatform versions of the Les Paul are priced $10 lower than their Xbox counterparts. The Blueberry Burst Pro Editions also come equipped with strum bars that provide haptic feedback. Recently, CRKD introduced a Les Paul Cherry Sunburst Pro Collector’s Bundle for $200, which includes a guitar backpack, leather strap, pins, and stickers.

The Gibson SG is confirmed to support both wireless and wired connections for Fortnite Festival and Rock Band 4 on PS5 and PS4, and it works wirelessly on PC with Fortnite Festival, Clone Hero, YARG, and Guitar Hero III. For PS3 users, Legacy Mode is compatible with all Guitar Hero and Rock Band titles, as well as Band Hero.
