CRKD has unveiled three Gibson-branded guitar controllers for Red Octane Games' rhythm title Stage Tour, launching December 10 on PC, PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S. The Stage Tour Pro Guitar Collection includes the Gibson Les Paul Oxblood Edition, SG Midnight Blue Edition, and 8K Gibson Explorer: 20th Anniversary Edition. The Les Paul and SG feature 500Hz wireless and 1,000Hz wired polling rates, while the Explorer hits 8,000Hz both ways. All include Hall effect click strum bars, mechanical frets, and LED neck lighting.

The SG is a PlayStation-licensed model compatible with PS4, PS5, and PC for $130. The Les Paul offers Xbox ($130) or multiplatform Android/PC/Switch ($120) versions. The Explorer works with PC, Android, and Switch for $130 but ships mid-January. The official Kramer Wireless Guitar Controller costs $110, with a $200 drum kit and $30 wireless microphone also available.

Stage Tour supports lead guitar, bass, drums, vocals, keyboard, and gamepads across four difficulties plus Expert Plus for drums. It allows four-player local co-op, online leaderboards, and cross-platform play. Over 90 songs are confirmed at launch, including tracks from Avril Lavigne, BABYMETAL, Bad Omens, and The Cure.
