New Gibson Controllers Unveiled
Ahead of the December 10 release of the rhythm game “Stage Tour,” CRKD has unveiled three new Gibson guitar controllers. Inspired by the classic “Guitar Hero” era of guitar controllers, the new models are already available for preorder. The series, called the “Stage Tour Pro Guitar Collection,” includes the Gibson Les Paul, Gibson SG, and Gibson Explorer models. The Les Paul Oxblood Edition replicates the design of the famous Gibson guitar. The SG Midnight Blue Edition was inspired by a PS2 controller concept once intended for “Guitar Hero II” but never released.
The collection’s most eye-catching model is the 8K Gibson Explorer: 20th Anniversary Edition. The white controller can be considered a modern version of the popular X-Plorer controller released for “Guitar Hero II” in 2007. The new guitar controllers feature a Hall Effect strum bar, mechanical fret buttons, LED lighting, and low latency. The Les Paul and SG models support a polling rate of 500 Hz when used wirelessly and 1,000 Hz over a wired connection. The Explorer model offers a rate of 8,000 Hz in both wired and wireless modes.
The controllers were developed in collaboration with the RedOctane team, which is well known in the rhythm game industry, and use a button layout similar to that of “Stage Tour’s” official Kramer Wireless Guitar Controller. Gibson SG Midnight Blue Edition will work with PS4, PS5, and PC and will sell for $130. Les Paul Oxblood Edition will be offered for $130 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, while the version designed for Android, PC, and Switch will cost $120. 8K Gibson Explorer will be compatible with PC, Android, and Switch and will sell for $130.
Sales of the Les Paul and SG models are scheduled to begin on December 10, when “Stage Tour” is released. Deliveries of the Explorer model will begin in mid-January. “Stage Tour” will be released for PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S. The game will support guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals, and keyboard. It will also offer local multiplayer for up to four players, online leaderboards, and cross-platform online co-op support. The game is said to feature more than 90 songs at launch.
