CRKD: The Gibson SG Guitar Controller Coming Soon
If you’ve been craving some rhythm gaming magic but feeling left out because you’re on Team PlayStation, today is your day. While other platforms have been flaunting their shiny CRKD guitars, PlayStation owners can finally join the party. The team at CRKD has unveiled something truly special: the Gibson SG Guitar Controller, officially licensed for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
This isn’t just another accessory—it’s a love letter to rhythm gaming. Whether you’re diving into Fortnite Festival, rocking out in Rock Band 4, or dusting off your old Guitar Hero collection, this controller is ready to deliver. And yes, there’s even a dedicated Legacy Mode for those who want to relive the classics.
Twenty years ago, the Gibson SG Guitar Controller became an icon during the PlayStation 2 era. Now, it’s back for an encore—and it’s better than ever. CRKD, known for its premium collectible gaming gear, has reimagined this classic for modern players, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge technology. Pre-orders are open now, and the controller is expected to ship in December 2025. This is more than a product launch—it’s a celebration of two decades of riffs, whammy solos, and unforgettable weekends spent rocking out with friends.
The new Gibson SG Guitar Controller looks and feels like the real deal. Its matte black body and crisp white pickguard instantly evoke the original design, while the OG-style brown fret neck and Crown Inlay on the headstock add a touch of authenticity. But this isn’t just about looks—it’s about performance. CRKD’s proprietary Hall Effect Strum Bar delivers ultra-precise input with a satisfying mechanical click, ensuring every strum feels perfect. Missed notes? Not on this guitar’s watch.
The controller also includes mechanical frets for that classic tactile feel, a Hall Effect Whammy Bar for flawless activations, and a discreet navigation hub with analog sticks and a hidden D-Pad for seamless menu control. Switching between PS5, PS4, Legacy Mode, and PC is effortless thanks to the platform slider, making this guitar as versatile as it is stylish.
This isn’t just a remake—it’s a reunion. Many of the original RedOctane designers behind the legendary Guitar Hero controllers worked on this project, ensuring that the Gibson SG Guitar Controller honors its roots while embracing modern innovation. As Stephen Withers, Head of Product Design at CRKD, explains:
“We’ve honoured the original while adding advanced features for today’s rhythm gamers. Fans old and new will love this evolution.”
Pre-orders are live now at https://go.crkd.gg/sgbkps , and the Gibson SG Guitar Controller ships this December.
This is your chance to own a piece of rhythm gaming history—don’t miss it.
