CRKD and Gibson have announced a collaboration on two new guitar controllers. These controllers are designed for use with Fortnite Festival and other similar games, such as Clone Hero.
Two new controllers will be available. One, the LP Blueberry Burst Pro Edition includes mechanical fret buttons and a hall effect strum bar. The LP Black Tribal Encore Edition includes standard frets and a mechanical strum bar. Two versions of each are available to order: one for multiple platforms and the other for Xbox. The Encore Edition costs $109.99/$119.99, while the Pro costs $119.99/$129.99. The new CRKD and Gibson controllers are now available for pre-order.

CRKD describes the shared features of both controllers on their store page:
An innovative eight-button Navigation Hub is seamlessly integrated into the design. At its center, a left Hall Effect analog stick ensures effortless menu navigation, while an authentic guitar knob houses the right Hall Effect analog stick. Enjoy lightning-fast response times and superior performance with CRKD’s rapid polling technology. Whether you’re playing wired or wirelessly with the 2.4GHz dongle, you’ll stay ahead of the game.
The modular design supports fret neck upgrades, allowing you to customize your guitar controller to suit your performance or style. Both models offer unique upgrade options, with several available for pre-order. The mode dial lets users adjust controller input presets based on selected games and difficulty levels, allowing for a simple plug-and-play experience.
Concealed behind the headstock, the D-pad is strategically positioned for quick access, making it easy to navigate menus or trigger emotes in Fortnite Festival. Experience customizable dynamic RGB lighting and a Tilt feature for effortless Star Power activation—both easily adjustable via the CRKD Companion App.
