Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controllers Release In June, Preorders Live At Amazon

Officially licensed by Xbox, this CRKD x Gibson guitar is compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Android devices. You’ll most likely end up using it for Fortnite Festival, but it also works for titles like YARG and Clone Hero on PC and Rock Band 4 on Xbox.

Featuring mechanical buttons for reliable input, a Hall Effect strum bar with haptic feedback, and a gorgeous Les Paul design, it’s a pretty robust plastic guitar. It even supports both wired and wireless play thanks to a 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth.

All your face buttons and triggers can be found on a central hub, giving you a simple way to navigate menus without needing a standard Xbox controller, and a modular fret neck lets you swap it out for a new style. Of course, no premium controller is complete without a bit of RGB lighting, and you’ll find plenty of colorful lights scattered throughout the Gibson Les Paul guitar.

If you'd prefer a more subdued design, the Black Tribal Edition for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC costs 10 bucks less than the Blueberry Burst Pro.

This multiplatform Blueberry Burst Pro model offers the same features as the Xbox edition, but it's priced at $120 instead. The lower price likely stems from the fact it isn't compatible with modern Xbox or PlayStation consoles. Instead, it supports Nintendo Switch, PC, mobile and older consoles like PS3. Beyond those compatibility tweaks, you’re still getting reliable mechanical buttons, a Hall Effect strum bar, and both wired and wireless support via a 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth.

The multiplatform controller also offer support for rhythm games beyond Fortnite Festival, including old Guitar Hero and Rock Band games for PS3 as well as PC titles such as Clone Hero and YARG.

The Black Tribal Edition of the multiplatform edition is the cheapest of the four at $110.
